Al fresco dining aboard Viking Hemming
Imagine waking as the mist rolls off the river, stopping in the lounge for a frothy cappuccino, and heading out to the Aquavit Terrace to silently cruise through the early morning light. That is one definition of a Viking happy hour. Another one is in the more traditional sense: unwinding in the late afternoon with a pint of beer or glass of wine, chatting with friends and enjoying a delicious light bite. Indulge in one of these "happy hours" on the Aquavit Terrace or at the Sun deck al fresco dining area.
Fine dining aboard Viking Hemming
Chefs create a variety of tasty offerings for you, with freshly prepared seasonal local vegetables, European specialties adapted to satisfy the tastes of their passengers, and homemade soups prepared daily. For breakfast, choose from their selections of pastries, cereals, breakfast meats, egg dishes, fresh fruit and selected cheeses. At lunch, select from the soup and sandwich bar, or a choice of entres and dessert. And for dinner, you are treated to a five-course gourmet menu with regional specialties. You can also select from their regional wines to perfectly complement your meal. And wherever you sail, you will find enhancements reflecting your itinerary, it is all part of experiencing the local culture.
No Kids Program.
