Food and drink
Award-winning food, sourced where we sail. Norway's Coastal Kitchen is our philosophy that food should tell the story of the coast you're sailing through. Fresh ingredients are sourced at ports we visit – fish caught that morning in Tromsø, reindeer from Arctic farms, cloudberries from northern hillsides. Up to 80% percent is sourced from our deep-rooted network of local fisherfolk, farmers, bakers and brewers.
The menu changes depending on where we are on the coast reflecting what's in season and what's been picked up along the way. Every dish tells a story of place, season and tradition. This is cuisine that connects you to the land and its people – a true taste of Norway.
Dining depends on which ship you’re travelling on.

Your board basis depends on the voyage and fare you’ve booked.
On sailings on the Original Coastal Express, your voyage is full board, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served in our main restaurant, Torget. Beverages are limited to tap water, coffee and tea at mealtimes; other drinks can be purchased separately.
On our Signature voyages, your experience is all-inclusive. You can choose from breakfast, lunch and dinner in our main restaurant Flora, as well as lunch and dinner in Brasserie Árran. You'll also enjoy unlimited selected drinks served at meals and in the 1893 Bar throughout your voyage.
For short voyages and port-to-port bookings, meals are not included but can be purchased on board, and full-board/half-board packages can also be added for an additional cost by contacting our Customer Service Centre.
Restaurant opening hours differ from ship to ship, so please see the individual ship FAQs for more information.
Yes. We offer a range of plant-based dishes at lunch and dinner, suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

You’re welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks on board to enjoy in your cabin to enjoy – just keep in mind that outside food and drinks aren’t permitted in the ship’s public areas.
You may also bring up to two unopened bottles of alcohol per person (maximum 1.5 litres each). Simply hand them to Reception when you board, and we’ll keep them safe until the end of your voyage. Alcohol brought on board can’t be enjoyed during the sailing, but it’ll be ready for you once your journey is over.
We source directly from around 70 local farms, fisheries and bakeries, bringing the coast’s freshest flavours on board. Expect king crab caught in coastal Finnmark, seaweed hand-harvested in Lofoten and zero-waste herbs grown in Myklevik Gård.
Yes. The tap water in your cabin is potable, so bring your reusable water bottle and fill up whenever you like. It’s an easy way to stay hydrated while supporting our removal of unnecessary single-use plastics across our fleet.
