A welcome drink served at the gangway
Offering a drink on arrival is a thoughtful touch. Provide a good-quality alcohol-free option and a careful presentation to make the moment special.
A few bites to go with it
- Cold canapés that are easy to eat standing up
- A vegetarian option every time
- Smooth service to avoid queues
Create the right atmosphere
Soft music, warm lighting and a smiling welcome set the tone. The outdoor deck can serve as a first gathering area, if the weather allows.
Time it well
Thirty to forty minutes is generally enough for all the guests to arrive and mingle. Then announce the departure or the next course to give the evening its structure.
