Restaurants

O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill

Deck 7 has your answer when hunger arrives at an inconveniently brilliant hour. O’Sheehan’s is a relaxed, 24-hour bar and grill serving comforting pub fare, from a Reuben Sandwich to Fish n’ Chips.

Settle in with a beer or cocktail on tap and catch the sporting action. Ideal for a proper plate of food when the rest of your plans have gone pleasantly off-piste.

image

Garden Cafe

Garden Café on Deck 15 is your help-yourself answer to breakfast, lunch and dinner, with floor-to-ceiling ocean views and an English garden feel.

Head for the action stations when choice feels like the correct decision. Think made-to-order omelettes and pasta, meat carving, waffles, then soft-serve ice cream for research purposes.

image

Savor Restaurant

Savor is a chic, modern main dining room on Deck 6, serving a broad menu that pairs classic favourites with newer dishes. Settle in for a freshly made, multi-course meal, with an extensive wine list if dinner calls for something grape-based.

There are no fixed dining times or assigned seats, so you can eat when it suits you. Reservations can be arranged onboard, subject to availability.

image

Shanghai Noodle Bar

Tucked beside the casino on Deck 7, Shanghai's Noodle Bar brings Asian-fusion comfort food to the table, from freshly prepared noodles and wok-fried dishes to warming soups.

Take a seat by the open kitchen and watch the chefs slice, steam and fry. The beef chow fun is well worth a look, followed by chilled mango pudding if you have room. It has limited lunch and dinner hours, so check the Freestyle Daily.

image

Taste Restaurant

Taste is your stylish, contemporary answer to what shall we have tonight, although it also serves breakfast and lunch. Expect broad-ranging, made-from-scratch, multiple-course meals, with Chef’s Signature Dishes bringing a little extra occasion to the table.

On Deck 6, the menu changes daily, so a return visit need not feel like a rerun. Freestyle Dining means you choose when to dine and who to share it with. Your timetable, your table.

image

The Haven

A private fine-dining restaurant reserved for guests staying in The Haven, where you can settle in for breakfast, lunch or dinner away from the wider ship.

The menu spans a range of cuisines, with unique signature dishes and wines from an extensive selection. It sits on Deck 16, right within the Haven enclave.

image

The Manhattan Room

A New York supper club at sea, with a dance floor at its heart and two-storey windows looking out across the ocean. You will find The Manhattan Room aft on Deck 7.

Settle in for a multi-course meal of modern and classic dishes, made with fresh ingredients, then pair your choice with something from the extensive wine list. Smart casual is the order of the day, so dress up a little if you fancy it, but no need to dig out the formalwear.

image

Palomar

Seafood takes centre stage at Palomar, Norwegian’s first Mediterranean restaurant, where casually smart surroundings meet serious plates. On Deck 8, you can tuck into grilled octopus with fingerling potato and pimentón de la Vera, or take the land route with lamb chops or steak.

Pair your pick with a European-style wine or cocktail, then make room for French apple tart à la mode. Fish-forward dining, with a very sensible back-up plan for steak lovers.

image

Silver Screen Bistro

Dinner and a film, with none of the balancing a plate on your lap. On Deck 6, you settle into an oversized reclining seat with a retractable table, while the big screen serves up family favourites and action films.

The menu spans various cuisines, with shareable handheld dishes in the original concept, plus popcorn and sweets reported as part of the experience. Films rotate by voyage, so booking ahead helps the team prepare for you.

image

Wasabi

Wasabi is a contemporary sushi and yakitori bar on Deck 8, in the Waterfront dining area. Settle in for sushi, sashimi and grilled yakitori, including Gyu boneless beef short rib served with traditional tare dipping sauce.

Fancy a drink with your meal? Try a Hamakaze with vodka, cranberry and apple juice, or have Gekkeikan Traditional Sake warmed, chilled or at room temperature. Check the Freestyle Daily for opening times, as lunch and dinner hours can vary.

image

Cagney's Steakhouse

For a proper steakhouse evening on Deck 8, Cagney's brings Premium Black Angus beef, seafood and attentive table service to the table. Go for a rib eye cooked just how you like it, or make it a surf and turf sort of night.

Classic cocktails and an extensive wine list make a fine supporting cast. Book before you sail through your NCL account or app, then you can get on with the important business of choosing dessert.

image

La Cucina

La Cucina brings classic Italian cooking to Deck 8, with a casual setting, generous tables and oceanfront seating on The Waterfront. Settle in for spaghetti carbonara or osso buco, then give tiramisu the sort of attention it deserves.

Fancy dining beside the sea? Reserve before you sail through NCL’s website or app, then let the only difficult decision be whether to finish with an affogato.

image

Le Bistro

A little French flair on Deck 6, with white linens, soft music and attentive service for a properly unhurried dinner. Think Escargot Bourguignonne, coq au vin and wines chosen to pair with the menu.

It is intimate, with few tables, so it suits a romantic evening or simply a meal where you fancy lingering over every course. Smart casual is the right call on cruises longer than five days.

image

Teppanyaki

Pull up a seat at a lively shared table on Deck 6, where your Japanese hibachi-style dinner comes with a side of knife skills. Chefs slice, dice and juggle as they cook on the iron teppan grill right in front of you.

Choose from dishes such as filet mignon, seafood or chicken yakiudon, with fried rice fresh from the grill. Reservations can be made from 120 days before sailing, so book ahead if this is high on your dinner list.

image

The Raw Bar

For a quick bite or a full seafood spread, make for The Raw Bar on Deck 8. Oysters on the half shell, shellfish and crudos are the main event, with wines by the glass ready to play supporting role.

Counter seating suits solo diners nicely, or gives your group a front row seat to the seafood selection. Try the Tuna Crudo if you fancy keeping things properly fresh.

image

Moderno Churrascaria

Come hungry, this Brazilian-style steakhouse on Deck 8 is built around slow-roasted meats carved tableside by passadores. Start at the extensive salad bar, where cured meats, cheeses, olives and ceviche all make a fine case for pacing yourself.

Then let the rotating skewers do their thing, from beef, pork, lamb and chicken to Picanha, Brazil’s signature top-sirloin cut. A Caipirinha with lime and cachaça is the suitably zesty finishing touch.

Bars and Lounges

image

Atrium Bar

Atrium Bar

Right in the heart of the action on Deck 6, Atrium Bar is your easy-going stop for beer, wine, cocktails and more. A mid-day Bloody Mary is the house-highlighted choice, because holiday timing is a wonderfully flexible concept.

Drop by in the morning or make it your late-night local. It is a walk-up bar, so simply find your spot amid the Atrium buzz and let the people-watching do its thing.

image

Bar 21

Bar 21

Bar 21 is an intimate cocktail bar on Deck 7, right beside Casinos At Sea. Settle in with your favourite cocktail while the slots ring out and the cheers from the casino add a little extra theatre to the evening.

It is a handy stop before or after a night at Bliss Ultra Lounge. If you are still going strong late at night, this could become your regular haunt.

image

Bliss Ultra Lounge

Bliss Ultra Lounge

Follow the lit tunnel into Bliss Ultra Lounge on Deck 7, where custom loungers, cocktails and high voltage music set the tone. The LED wall runs the length of the club, lighting up in time with the music.

By night, it becomes the place to take to the dance floor, with beer, wine and cocktails available at the bar. It is generally adults only after 11 p.m., so check the onboard programme for your sailing.

image

Maltings Beer and Whiskey Bar

Maltings Beer and Whiskey Bar

Set on Deck 8 along The Waterfront, Maltings Beer and Whiskey Bar is your sea-side spot for a pre-dinner cocktail or an after-dinner catch-up. Indoor seating and starboard-side ocean views make it rather more civilised than choosing a drink in a corridor.

Work your way through beers and spirits from an international selection, then settle in with the conversation. Alcohol is not included in the standard cruise fare, though an applicable drinks package may cover eligible choices.

image

Skyy Vodka Ice Bar

Skyy Vodka Ice Bar

A bar where keeping your drink cool is taken rather seriously. Step into this Arctic-style frozen chamber on Deck 8, held at approximately -8°C, where the bar, seats and even your glass are made entirely of ice.

You can order speciality drinks made with Skyy Vodka, then raise an ice glass to a properly chilly change of scene.

image

Vibe Beach Club

Vibe Beach Club

For adults only, Vibe Beach Club on Deck 17 is your outdoor corner for ocean views, plush loungers and a proper switch-off. The oversized hot tub is particularly good at making plans for the afternoon seem wildly unnecessary.

A full-service bar keeps drinks within easy reach, while chilled towels and fruit skewers add a thoughtful touch. Access needs a pass or a cabana for two, so reserve early, space is limited.

Activities & Entertainment

image

Breakaway Theatre

Breakaway Theatre

Breakaway Theater on Deck 6 is where your evening gets a proper curtain-up. Settle in for Broadway-style productions, comedy, live music and game shows, with something rather more memorable than deciding what to watch in your cabin.

Catch Burn the Floor for tango, rumba and Viennese waltz, or join in with Wheel of Fortune using your mobile. Check the Cruise Norwegian app for the daily timetable and entertainment bookings.

image

Casino

Casino

Fancy testing your luck between dinner and the show? The Casinos At Sea venue on Deck 7 has reel and video slot machines, plus table games including blackjack and craps.

image

Mandara Spa

Mandara Spa

image

Fitness Area

Fitness Area

On Deck 15, the Fitness Area gives you a proper place to keep moving, with cardio equipment separate from the weights area. Lift, stretch or settle in for yoga, all with 270-degree ocean views that make the treadmill rather less tedious.

Use of the gym is included, while exercise classes carry an extra charge. If a spin, Pilates or TRX session takes your fancy, check the programme and book onboard at the Pulse Fitness Center or Mandara Spa reception.

image

Splash Academy, Entourage and Guppies Open Play

Splash Academy, Entourage and Guppies Open Play

Whether you are travelling with a toddler, a school-age explorer or a teen determined to do their own thing, there is a space for them. Guppies Open Play on Deck 16 is for ages six months to three years, with toys, balls and sensory items, but you or another guardian must stay.
