Outside Catering Info
General Guidelines

 Food prepared by the Jubilee Queen is cooked fresh onboard by our chefs and is considered to be some of the best tasting food in the harbour.

If your guests prefer a style of food that our chefs are unfamiliar with we would be happy to work with your own outside caterer.

When using your own caterer there is an outside catering charge of $10 per person + gratuity and tax. (Minimum 100 guests)

No outside drink is allowed onboard, even with the outside catering charge. This includes but is not limited to: Pop, water, juice and alcohol.
