The sommeliers and culinary masters at The Chef’s Table create the perfect food and wine pairings during a multi-course tasting, enjoyed in the restaurant or in a private dining room.
There is no such thing as a typical evening onboard, nor shortage of entertainment. Whether it’s a cabaret, opera, classical or popular music concert, the theatre is home to an inspiring choice of productions. Film fans can feast on classic movies and the latest blockbusters in one of the cinemas. Or take in the breeze as you take in a film at the open-air cinema.
When the stars come out, so does the entertainment. From sipping an artisan gin and exchanging stories with newfound friends in Paps, the Explorer’s Bar, to enjoying the sounds of the guitarist, pianist and singer in one of the lounges. Take a seat in the plush theatre for a dazzling show, or dance the night away in Torshavn nightclub. Sing along to a band, or lie back by the pool under the night sky to watch a movie on the giant screen – the popcorn is on the house. However you choose to spend your evenings on board, being bored is never an option
The Wintergarden
When you yearn for serenity, there is no better place on ship than a visit to the Wintergarden. This charming, airy space around the main pool is perfect for relaxing in clean, uncluttered Scandinavian-designed environment. Even here, our focus is on enrichment, as this is the place to witness a tea ceremony, or indulge in an afternoon tea service, complete with hand-selected teas, finger sandwiches and pastries.
Afternoon tea is served at the Wintergarden, adjacent to the Main Pool. Decadent finger sandwiches, scones and desserts are accompanied by international teas, tea ceremony demonstrations and relaxing classical music from the Viking Resident Musicians.
Viking Bar
Enjoy a cocktail in the Viking Bar, which is located on the ground floor of the atrium.
The Viking Living Room
The ideal setting for relaxation, The Viking Living Room draws guests together at the heart of the ship. Spacious seating, calming classical compositions performed by the Viking Resident Musicians and enriching activities foster camaraderie.
The Theatre & Cinema
The perfect venue to attend lectures or watch movies, our state-of-the-art, multipurpose Theatre seats up to 450 guests and can be transformed into two HD cinemas for TED Talks, Destination Insights and occasional specialised seminars.
Explorers' Lounge
With two-story panoramic windows for maximum views, the Explorers’ Lounge is inspired by epic journeys of discovery. This inviting space is the perfect place to share a cocktail with friends or relax while taking in the scenery.
