Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has revealed nine new dining and beverage venues onboard its highly-anticipated Prima Class vessels Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.
This will include Metropolitan Bar, the three-level Penrose Atrium, and the launch of its revamped main dining menu set to roll out on Norwegian Prima.
Guests can also expect enhancements to their favourite culinary staples including Le Bistro, Cagney’s Steakhouse, Food Republic and the Observation Lounge.
“We’ve been innovators in the food and beverage space for more than three decades, becoming the first cruise line to offer speciality dining and the first to introduce our ‘Freestyle Cruising’ concept that allows our guests to vacation their way by giving them the choice to decide when and where they dine,” said Harry Sommer, Norwegian Cruise Line President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our latest food and beverage offerings take our Norwegian Prima Food and Beverage experience to another level, one that travels well beyond the guest expectation to provide elevated gastronomical experiences featuring sophisticated design, masterful mixology and cuisine that delivers full-throttle flavour.”
The seven new dining venues onboard Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva will “take first-time and returning travellers on an epicurean adventure featuring tantalizing fare matched with thoughtfully curated design.”
Making its debut on Norwegian Prima, Palomar features high-end Mediterranean cuisine made with simple yet sophisticated ingredients.
Hasuki offers an elevated take on the traditional “hibachi-style” dining while the new contemporary sushi house Nama offers sushi dishes prepared by master chefs.
The new main dining room at Hudson’s comes with 270-degree views and a mouthwatering menu while The Commodore Room offers upscale cuisine in refined surroundings.
Both locations offer global dishes from Spanish Paella and Italian mussels prepared in a white wine sauce to fully vegetarian options such as mushroom risotto and cauliflower piccata.
The new menu will also boast a build-your-own-pasta section and a “Specialties” section where cruise goers can select a dish from one of the ship’s speciality dining eateries.
The revamped menu will debut on Norwegian Prima and will roll out to the rest of NCL’s 17-ship fleet through 2023.
The Surfside Café and Surfside Grill located on Deck 17 will feature a diverse menu, with self-serve casual dining, and items prepared “a la minute” upon guest request.
