Can I Book Lotus Garden & Le Bistro Before My Cruise?

Guests sailing on voyages of 14 nights or longer can look forward to even more dining variety onboard Regatta, with our specialty dining venues transforming mid-voyage into the exclusive Lotus Garden and Le Bistro dining experiences. These additional specialty dining concepts are offered as part of the enhanced dining programme available on longer sailings. 

Why does the My Explorations Portal show no availability?

If you're sailing on a voyage of 14 nights or longer, you may notice that Polo Grill and Toscana appear unavailable on certain dates in the My Explorations Portal. These dates coincide with the onboard transformation of our specialty dining venues into Lotus Garden and Le Bistro. As these exclusive dining experiences can only be reserved once onboard, availability will not be displayed in the portal prior to your cruise.

Can I Reserve Lotus Garden or Le Bistro Through the My Explorations Portal?

No. Reservations for Lotus Garden and Le Bistro cannot be made through the My Explorations Portal before departure.

While specialty dining reservations for Polo Grill and Toscana may be available to book online prior to your cruise, any dates when Lotus Garden and Le Bistro are scheduled to operate will only be available to reserve once you are onboard. 

How Do I Make a Reservation?

Once onboard, simply visit the restaurant reservations team to secure your preferred dining times for Lotus Garden and Le Bistro. Availability is subject to capacity and demand.

Why Are These Restaurants Booked Onboard Only?

Lotus Garden and French Bistro are unique dining experiences offered exclusively on selected 14-night or longer voyages, with the venues transforming during the cruise to provide guests with even greater culinary variety. Managing reservations onboard allows the dining team to finalise operating schedules and maximise availability for guests during the voyage. 

We recommend booking early once onboard to secure your preferred dining times and enjoy these exclusive specialty dining experiences during your exploration.
