There are few greater pleasures than fine food. Indeed, much of the joy of travel is the discovery of new and exciting cuisine. On a Viking cruise, you can look forward to a variety of regional cuisine that gives you a true flavor of each inspiring place you visit, all beautifully prepared and presented by our highly trained chefs. As with every aspect of a Viking vacation, the choice is yours.
FINE FOOD IS FRESH FOOD Sorbet made with lemons from the orchards of Provence. Hungarian goulash with paprika from the food market in Budapest. And with your trout? Hand-picked dill from the organic herb garden on the sun deck of a Viking Longship. Our chefs use fresh locally sourced ingredients in the creation of authentic dishes that are bursting with flavor.
CASUAL DINING IN ELEGANT STYLE Greet the morning with a sumptuous breakfast buffet in the dining room. Or pick up a croissant and cappuccino and head off to the sun deck to watch the river come to life. Lunch presents yet more choice with a selection of inspiring dishes. When evening falls, the artistry in the kitchen transforms into a masterpiece of a five-course dinner, with a menu that incorporates traditional influences as well as contemporary cuisine.
To be an occasion, it must be shared. And there is no more relaxing place to share good food, good wine and stories, too, with friends — old and new — than in our intimate dining rooms.
SOMETHING DELICIOUS TO PAMPER EVERY PALATE Lighter choices, vegetarian dishes — our chefs work with nutritionists to provide a selection of balanced options. And, because some days you feel like a simple supper, a perfectly grilled steak or chicken breast or poached salmon and Caesar salad is always an option.
AND TO DRINK? Freshly brewed coffee in the lounge, as you gaze at the river’s early morning mist. Iced tea on the sun deck, as you pass villages shaped by time. A bottle of fine local wine with lunch or dinner — enjoy it all — it is all covered in your cruise fare.
