Restaurants auf der Spitzbergen- und Nordkap-Linie
Das Gastronomiekonzept an Bord bietet feinste norwegische Küche auf besonders nachhaltige Weise.
Our three onboard restaurants offer an exciting flavour of Norway’s past, present, and future. Each one embraces traditional preservation methods that have been tried and trusted by Norwegians through thousands of Arctic winters, such as drying, fermenting, and salting.
Our talented team of chefs, mixologists, and sommeliers have gathered, refined, and reimagined recipes from across Norway, past and present, crafting them into the most delicious dishes and drinks for a true feast for your senses.
While sailing on a Signature Voyage, you can eat dry-aged beef served by a chef with a story about the meat’s provenance, drink beer made from water sourced in the Trollfjord, and learn all about the distinctly Nordic spirit, aquavit.
Best of all, the journey from fjord or field to fork is short but deliciously sweet. As we sail, you’ll pass the very fjords that gave us our fish, the mountains that grew our herbs, and the pastures that reared our lamb.
Our restaurants
Flora
Our main restaurant, Flora is inspired by Norway’s edible herbs, berries, mushrooms, flowers, fruit, and vegetables. Depending on what’s in season, you could try dishes such as lightly smoked Arctic char, plant-based Wellington with sugar kelp, or confit Trøndersopp mushrooms from our own kelp farm.
Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style, while the evening menu is à la carte. This changes every night of your voyage, curated around the port we have visited that day, meaning that you will never eat the same dish twice.

Brasserie Árran
Named after the northern Sámi word for the fire found at the heart of their traditional lavvo tent, Brasserie Árran specialises in traditional Norwegian cuisine with a twist.
It’s a place for people to gather and share stories, which is exactly what we hope you’ll do here. The dark wood, leather, and rough-hewn stone create a warm and rustic feel that reflects the hearty food on the menu.
Here, you can dine on traditional dishes with a modern twist such as bidos (a Sámi reindeer stew), souvas (sliced smoked reindeer meat) with lingonberry aioli, or pickled herring on rye bread with cured egg yolk.
Røst
Inspired by the ancient fish bank of Røst in the Lofoten Islands, our fine-dining restaurant is a homage to the produce that helped established Norway: fish.
The food in Røst is based on the flora and fauna that flourishes beneath our ships as they sail along the coast. Its three-to-five course menu rotates throughout the voyage, featuring 16 beautiful, palate-pleasing seasonal dishes.
Alongside the stockfish that Norway’s economy – and heritage – was built on, you might dine on salmon or reindeer as well as more unexpected ingredients such as seaweed, kelp, Arctic pearls (a vegan roe), and sea urchins.
What’s more, our resident sommeliers are on hand to help pair each dish with the perfect wine or expertly crafted mocktail.
You feel like you are in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Every meal is like... wow.
1893 Bar
In 1893 Bar, every mouthful tells a story of the Norwegian coast floating by outside. Our mixologists blend the best Norwegian products, creating drinks that bring you closer to the legends, people, and places you’re sailing past.
Try cocktails handcrafted with Arctic gin from the Lyngen Alps, liquor infused with the rays of the Midnight Sun, or vodka brightened by the golden taste of cloudberries.
For beer lovers, we work with five local suppliers to offer the best of Norwegian brews. Sip on a Pilsner from Lofoten, a blanche from Bodø, or a stout from Svalbard – the northernmost craft brewery in the world.
Grab a drink and settle down in a comfortable chair behind the huge windows on the two-storey observation deck. The perfect setting to watch the scenery of our homeland pass by.
Your Experiences
Tastings and demonstrations
While sailing with us you won’t just visit the ports of the Norwegian coast – you’ll taste them too.
Depending on what’s in season, you might get to sample cured reindeer from Finnmark, shrimp freshly caught from the icy waters of Lyngenfjord, or even Norway’s golden nectar – aquavit.
Join our chefs and mixologists as they share the stories behind each product and its roots along the coast.
