Here is a little more info about what is available on Viking Ocean.
Dining areas include:
Deck 1
o Specialty
restaurant – Manfredi’s. Specializes in Italian cuisine and is
also known for their steak. Many rave about their Florentine style steak.
o Specialty
restaurant – The Chef’s Table. Offers a 5-course tasting menu
that changes every few days and also has wine pairings.
o Both
of these also have small private dining rooms that can be reserved. These small
dining areas seat about 10 people.
o Viking
Bar in The Living Room is open 24 hours for any beverage you might want
and a small selection of treats such as breakfast pastries in the morning, small
sandwiches mid-day, and sweet treats in the evening.
Deck 2
o The
Restaurant (MDR) is a Classic restaurant where you order from a menu
and it is served to you. There are lots of windows letting in light and
scenery. There are a number of items that are always available, and then daily
specials that are often themed on your current locale.
Deck 7 (starting aft, working forward)
o Aquavit
Terrace is outside of the World Café at the back of the ship for al
fresco dining. You serve yourself from the World Cafe. Specialty items are
often set up in this area as well.
o The
World Café (WC): Classic buffet style where you help yourself to a
variety of items. The World Café has windows that can open to al fresco dining
when the weather is appropriate. Even when the windows are closed, the views are
pretty great. The menu is quite varied. The same daily specials as in MDR,
salad bar, sushi bar, pizza, gelato bar (flavors often rotate). Artisanal
breads and desserts.
o The
Pool Grill. Very convenient when you are spending time at the pool or
just for a change of pace. They serve lunch and snacks into the afternoon. Hamburgers,
hot dogs, a salad bar, fries, etc. It is also the site for special events, (i.e.
Tomahawk Steak night or a Sunday Brunch.)
o Wintergarden.
Is between the pool and the Explorer’s Lounge and they serve afternoon tea
every afternoon from 4:00 – 5:00. A variety of teas, finger sandwiches, scones
and little treats.
o Mamsen’s.
A deli in the Explorer’s Lounge on Deck 7 serves breakfast pastries and open-faced
sandwiches, all of which have a Norwegian flare. Their Norwegian style waffles seem
to be fan favorites.
Need a drink? Hot, cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
There are numerous stations around the ship
Deck 1
o The
Viking Bar. Mentioned before but fits this category as well. Serves The
Living Room and Atrium whether for coffee, tea, or something a little stronger
throughout the day. They also have a small selection of snacks similar to
Mamsen’s
Deck 2
o To
accommodate passengers during performances/presentations, a small Bar
is just outside the Theatre and the two small cinemas. By the way, the 2 small
cinemas can open up and become part of The Theatre.
o Torshavn
is a late-night venue with live music. They are also known for some of their
specialty cocktails. It does not open until 9:00 pm.
Deck 7
o There
is a coffee machine (similar to a Nespresso) in the WC available 24/7.
o Pool
Bar. Handy when you’d like a beer with that burger.
o Explorer’s
Lounge. A large two-level area at the front of the ship with fantastic
views of where you are going. Coffee is on hand in the mornings, and it is a
super place to have an aperitif and watch the sun set.
On the World Cruise, Viking includes their “Silver Spirits” package which provides for premium wines, and all other alcoholic beverages (excluding the specialty cocktails at Torshavn’s).
