Viking Cruises offers an array of casual and upscale dining experiences on all of the line’s ocean ships. The all-inclusive nature of the cruise line means that all of the restaurants onboard the ship are included in the price of the cruise fare, including specialty restaurants and room service. Offering menus with regional influences and locally sourced goods, we have just returned from a Viking Homelands itinerary on Viking Jupiter and have put together this Viking Ocean Cruises Restaurant Guide complete with menus.

Aquavit Terrace
Located outside of the World Cafe, this al fresco seating area allows you to dine in comfort while you admire the views. Inspired by the outdoor area on the line’s river ships, the destination is your backdrop while you lounge around the infinity pool or snack on some treats from the buffet.
Wintergarden
Adjacent to the main pool, you can enjoy afternoon tea and snacks at the Wintergarden. Kick back, socialize with some new friends, and enjoy treats like finger sandwiches and scones along with a wide selection of tea. This afternoon treat is accompanied by classical music from resident musicians and panoramic views. This is the perfect spot to relax after returning from a day of sightseeing.

Based on our room category (2 couples my friend and I with our husbands) we can only make our specialty dining reservation the day of sailing. Do you think we’ll be able to even book at Manfredi and Chef’s Table? This is making me nervous. I’d be so disappointed if we can’t even try these places out.

I am not sure I understand the – set times- for dinner?

I think they mean the normal times of opening for the dining room. In other words, if it is open you can go when you like and dine with whom you like.
