A 1-course, choice lunch at the Black Tiles Restaurant and Bar is included before your cruise. The Black Tiles became a refuge for troops during the Second World War, an American Officer wrote: “When I think of England I shall think of tea, and all that it means, and when I think of tea, I’ll think of Black Tiles. Someday I’ll come back to England for tea at Black Tiles”.
