The Best Ice Cream at Sea
Beccy Miller
This warm spell has got us thinking about ice cream, ice lollies and frozen frappes. But where do we head to when we're at sea?
Café al Bacio & Gelateria - Celebrity Cruises
Home to the most amazing ice-cream cookie sandwiches, Café al Bacio also serves spaghetti ice cream - vanilla gelato, strawberry sauce, and white chocolate shavings — who said you can't have dessert for main course?
Gelato - Princess Cruises
Princess has one of the largest gelato menus at sea. Each selection is made onboard by a pastry chef and you can find flavours like butter pecan, dulce de leche, and Nutella. All are served in handmade waffle cones with decadent sauces and toppings such as peanut butter, meringue, and marshmallow.
Ben & Jerry's - Royal Caribbean
On Royal Caribbean Freedom-class ships you can go wild with Ben & Jerry's whimsical selection of flavours. If ice cream is not your thing, then they also offer low-fat frozen yoghurt too. Delicious.
Venchi Gelateria - MSC Cruises
You would expect an Italian cruise line to serve gelato and the gelato at Venchi is a real treat. The Italian Chocolate company produce velvety smooth chocolate gelato, rich in flavour, as well as other typical Italian flavours like coffee and lemon. The menu rotates so every day can offer you a new surprise.
Swirls - Carnival Cruises
Fancy ice cream 24/7? All kids (and kids at heart!) will be pleased to hear that Carnival Cruises offer machines of self-service ice cream in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry at any time of day. The swirly goodness also comes as frozen-yoghurt too.
