MS Nordkapp

The Nordkapp's Nessekongen Restaurant seats 240 diners and is located at the stern of the ship with windows stretching around three sides, giving uninterrupted views.

Both breakfast and lunch are buffet meals with open seating. The breakfast menu includes the usual cereals and continental style options as well as some Norwegian specialities, including cheeses, cold meats and fish. The lavish lunch menu includes a range of hot dishes, meats, cheeses, salads, vegetables, cold fish and caviar.

Dinner is generally served buffet-style and is chosen by the chef each day. It is made up of a range of favourite international dishes or Norwegian specialities, featuring seasonal fresh vegetables and a good wine list, as well as a selection of beers and mineral waters. The kitchen can handle special requests such as vegetarian dishes if given advance notice.

The 24-hour cafe serves hot or cold light meals or snacks, including salads and sandwiches, tea and coffee.

Seen from the decks of the Nordkapp, nature is all around you and provides the real entertainment on a Norwegian coastal cruise. The ship's panoramic lounge, cocktail bar, sun deck, and other public spaces all allow passengers to enjoy the scenery of this beautiful coastline throughout their journey. Above the Arctic Circle, the Midnight Sun can be seen from May until late July, and in winter the Northern Lights can be seen when weather conditions are perfect.

Other onboard facilities include a library and internet cafe, childrens play room, souvenir shop and video games arcade. There is also a well equipped fitness centre with weights, treadmills, rowing machines and exercise bikes. To wind down after a long day, which will probably have included a shore excursion at one of the ship's many stop-off points, you can relax in one of the ship's two saunas or in one of the outside Jacuzzis, while watching the world go by.
