Explorica provides breakfast and dinner daily on all tours (unless otherwise indicated on your itinerary). Lunch is only included on Greek cruises, on Costa Rica and China tours, and when otherwise indicated in the program description. On all other tours, participants have lunch breaks and free-time to explore their own local food options.
Breakfast
European-style breakfast is offered every morning and will always include juice, cereal, bread (like toast, croissant, or pastry), and coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, as well as either cheese, eggs, yogurt, fruit, or meat.
Dinner
Explorica chooses restaurants that appeal to students while also providing them with a taste of local cuisine. By providing both familiar fares with regional foods, students are given the opportunity to try new things without inducing culture shock!
Dietary Restrictions
Be sure to remind your Tour Director and Group Leader of any dietary restrictions or food allergies you have at the beginning of your tour. We will do our best to work around your dietary restrictions but please be aware that we cannot absolutely control the cuisine. We recommend that you pack some snacks for any times there may be difficulty accommodating your food restrictions.
Meal Refunds
All breakfasts and dinners are included in the tour fee so it is not possible to refund the money for any meals you choose to miss.
