Pre-cruise hotel stay include dinner?

[crunchii]

Hello! A question from a Seabourn newbie.

 

When the first day of the itinerary is an overnight hotel stay, does it usually include dinner and/or breakfast? FYI, it's the Jan. 3 Antarctica cruise on Venture. We'll be staying at Alvear Icon Hotel in Buenos Aires.

 

Just wondering if I need to research the restaurants in the area or not.

 

Thank you!

Has always been, for us, breakfast but definitely not dinner.

OK, thank you! I guess I'll start researching!

The Alvear is a fabulous hotel. You may need to look no farther.

That's good to hear! 😊

No, the Alvear Icon is a modern hotel in the Puerto Madero area of Buenos Aires. There are many good restaurants within walking distance of the Alvear Icon and it's about a 20 minute walk to Casa Rosada & Plaza de Mayo.

 

If you happen to be in the Recoleta area, Afternoon Tea at the Alvear Palace (about $(US)50/pp) makes a very nice break from sightseeing.
