Galley - Meals on board

Mealtimes on Bark EUROPA are all about bringing people together to share good food while celebrating the adventure at sea. Prepared by our experienced cook and cook’s assistant, the meals feature a variety of fresh ingredients, often sourced from local ports along the way. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, while dinner is served up from the galley, with all sailors coming together to enjoy a warm meal at the end of the day.

Meals and Beverages on Board

All meals are included in your voyage fee, you’ll also have access to unlimited coffee, tea, and water at any time. For those who wish to enjoy extra treats, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks are available for purchase at the bar. The bar serves as a perfect spot to unwind and connect with fellow sailors while savoring a selection of drinks and snacks after a day full of adventure on the open sea.

Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Meal Options

On board Bark EUROPA, you can choose between vegetarian or non-vegetarian meal options for the entire duration of your voyage. This choice is made at the time of booking, allowing our crew to prepare and store the necessary provisions before setting sail. Each day, both a vegetarian meal (without meat or fish) and a non-vegetarian meal are freshly prepared. It’s important to note that due to limited resources, vegan diets cannot be catered to on board.

Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

We aim to accommodate food allergies wherever possible, but the conditions on board can make it challenging. Space in the galley is limited, and supplies are gathered before departure. If you have specific needs, like gluten or lactose intolerance, please discuss this with our team before booking. 

Similarly, the cooks will attempt to adapt dinners for those with lactose intolerance, but flexibility is necessary due to shared preparation areas. Multiple allergies or combinations, like both gluten and lactose intolerance, unfortunately, cannot be accommodated on board.

What does a day on board the EUROPA look like?

Every day on board is different and unexpected, due to continuously changing weather conditions and the watch system, but we’ll try to sketch how a day could look like: you get waken up at 4 am by another watch: It's your turn to stand watch with your watch mates. You check out the weather and put on your sailing gear. Then, you head outside and take turns keeping a lookout, steering, and handling the sails with the crew. After 4 hours, you wake up the next watch and its breakfast time. The cook has prepared a delicious buffet: fresh bread, yoghurt, granola, and all sorts of fruits. Then, you can catch up on sleep or hang out outside, chatting with your fellow travelers or helping the crew with ship maintenance. Once lunch is served, it's back to your watch duty. The weather and course may have changed, so you need to hoist or lower the sails accordingly. After dinner, you can either take a nap or grab a drink – the choice is yours.
