On our ships, you will find fully equipped kitchens. Various kitchen utensils and tools for cooking are on board.
Bear in mind that you may not have a good opportunity to do some shopping every day. On a sailing ship, you always need to stock up on provisions. On our ships, you will therefore find pantries, refrigerators and often freezers. Still, you need to think and shop space-saving.
