The Dining Room
The Dining Room is Koningsdam’s main table-service restaurant, spread across Plaza and Promenade Decks. You can settle in for breakfast, lunch or dinner, with classic favourites, regional dishes, vegetarian options and seafood from the Global Fresh Fish programme.
Try Fresh Grouper XO with Asian vegetables and XO scallop sauce, then let the multi-course menu do the rest. Flexible evening dining is published from 5:15 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with fixed seatings also available.
Grand Dutch Cafe
On Deck 2 in the central Atrium, this all day café brings a little Amsterdam café culture to sea. Stop by for speciality coffee, a Dutch beer or a light bite, then make room for poffertjes, small Dutch pancakes traditionally served with butter.
Stroopwafels and Dutch pea soup are complimentary, while drinks and selected menu items carry a charge. Ideal for a casual catch up between plans, or a very sensible pause from them.
Lido Marketplace
On Deck 9, Lido Market is your easy-going answer to breakfast, lunch or dinner, with comfort-food favourites and international dishes served from a choice of stations.
Try made-to-order pasta, butter chicken or a chocolate cheesecake from Sweet Spots. No reservations required, so you can simply drop in when hunger calls.
New York Deli & Pizza
Hand-tossed pizza and deli favourites make this casual, poolside-style spot on Deck 10 an easy answer when you fancy something unfussy. Try the Grand Central pizza, topped with pepperoni, salami, artichokes and olives.
Sandwiches, salads and late-night snacks keep things flexible from breakfast onwards. No reservation is needed, so turn up as you are when hunger makes the decision for you.
Sel de Mer
Sel de Mer brings a relaxed Mediterranean bistro feel to dinner, with fresh fish and flavours from France, Spain and Greece. Set on Plaza Deck by the atrium, it is a smart pick when you fancy something a little more leisurely.
Try the Whole Dover Sole Meunière, then consider a glass of Mediterranean rosé. Dress smart casual or resort smart, and reserve before sailing or once onboard for your preferred time.
The Pinnacle Grill
On Deck 2, the Plaza Deck, Pinnacle Grill brings classic steakhouse favourites to an intimate setting. You can choose Double R Ranch Beef, fresh seafood and regional dishes on selected itineraries, with an extensive wine list to match.
Save room for the Not-So-Classic Baked Alaska, made with Amarena cherry ice cream and Bing Cherries Jubilee. It is open for lunch and dinner, and reservations are highly recommended. Smart casual is the order of the day.
Canaletto Restaurant
Casual Italian dining with fresh, house-made pasta and all the proper classics. Start with burrata or grilled tiger shrimp, then settle into Spaghetti With Shrimp and Clams, followed by tiramisù if you have room.
You will find it on the Lido Deck beside Lido Market, open nightly for dinner. Reservations are recommended, although walk-ins are welcome when space allows.
Tamarind
Dinner at Tamarind takes you across Southeast Asia, China and Japan, with the aft pool below and the sea doing its best to distract you. Start with a Satay Sampler, then make room for Wok-Seared Lobster or Crispy Duck.
It is open nightly on Deck 10, with smart casual attire recommended. Reservations are not required, but they are recommended, which is dinner planning with a rather good view.
Notes Whiskey Bar
Notes Whiskey Bar
Notes is your Deck 2 stop for a proper whisky exploration, tucked into Music Walk. Choose from 129 whiskies spanning Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Tennessee and beyond, or let the whisky sommelier steer you towards a blend that suits your palate.
Try a whisky flight, browse the bar iPads for guidance, and put your nose to work with herbs and spices designed to heighten the tasting. Tastings are scheduled, and drinks may be covered by an eligible beverage package.
Ocean Bar
Ocean Bar
Settle into this lively lounge on the Promenade Deck, beside the central atrium. It is made for a pre-dinner cocktail, an after-dinner aperitif or a proper nightcap, with conversation and live music in the mix.
Try a Penicillin with Scotch, honey, lemon and ginger, then stay for the dancing. No reservations needed, just smart-casual dress and a willingness to let the evening run on.
Rolling Stone Rock Room
Rolling Stone Rock Room
Rock, pop and country classics spanning 60 years give this Music Walk venue on Deck 2 plenty of volume. Settle in to watch the live band, or take to the dance floor when sitting still starts to feel like a wasted opportunity.

Crow's Nest
Crow's Nest
High on Deck 12, the Observation Deck, Crow’s Nest is a panoramic café and bar lounge made for unhurried ocean views. Settle in with a hand-crafted coffee, a pastry or an Espresso Martini, depending on how your day is shaping up.
There is also a Game Room for puzzles, board games and Mahjong, with coffee or wine close at hand. No reservation is needed, so simply stop by and find a seat.
Music Walk
