In addition to the scenery, the spacious surroundings and the velvety feel of the seats, the sensory experience would not be complete without the gastronomic aspect, provided here by chef Simon Rogan, \u201cone of the pioneers of the farm-to-table movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Above all, <b>the Britannic Explorer is firmly rooted in the very current trend of Slow Travel<\/b>.
