A Coffee-Lover’s Dream Menu
You can indulge in espressos, cappuccinos and lattes, as well as decadent iced coffees, from dawn to dusk. In addition, these delicious made-to-order drinks are paired with ever-changing offerings of small bite meals, treats and fresh-baked breads. This is a serene spot to sit down for light breakfast or a filling snack after returning from an excursion ashore.
Making a Connection
In addition to espresso-based drinks, Coffee Connection features a range of teas, as well as a full-fledged bar with wines, beers and sodas. And if you’re a guest of Seven Seas Splendor® or Seven Seas Explorer® you can also enjoy a new concept called Sapori e Amari. Across the fleet, Coffee Connection is a fantastic place for conversation with newfound friends. Here, you can easily get to know your fellow passengers and chat about everything from your favorite ports to how you like your coffee.
Whether you make friends for a lifetime or just the duration of your voyage, you are certain to make a connection.
Guest-favorite Barista
Recently aboard Seven Seas Voyager®, I had the pleasure of meeting Justus Fernandes, a crew member that began his career aboard Regent 14 years ago, and arguably the fleet’s star barista. He has quite the fan base, not only for his phenomenal skills and froth designs, but also for remembering your coffee order.
Over the buzz of the espresso machine, I asked him a few questions, beginning with his knack for memorization. “Oh, I’m good at remembering faces,” he said smiling. “Like, when I see a guest, I immediately see their coffee order in front of them."
By his estimation, the most popular coffee order is a caffè mocha. The perfect pick-me-up in the afternoon, the recipe calls for two shots of espresso, mixing chocolate in until it’s melted and then adding twice as much steamed milk.
When he’s not at the helm of Coffee Connection, Justus lives in Goa, India with his lovely wife and two young children.
