A taste of Norway

Discover the true flavour of this magical destination with Princess Cruises

There is no better way to experience Norway’s otherworldly fjords than with Princess Cruises. You’ll wake up surrounded by majestic snow-dusted peaks, marvel at colourful ports and try the country’s finest cuisine. Here’s just some of what awaits you:

A FOODIE TOUR OF BERGEN

Bergen looks like it’s been lifted out of a fairy tale, and as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy it has a vibrant culinary scene – from traditional seafood restaurants to temples of modern Nordic cuisine. Explore the pretty wooden alleyways of the city’s beautiful Hanseatic wharf, Bryggen (and sample some fish soup), or book Princess Cruises’ Bergen excursion for a guided tour of the Fish Market, complete with an ice bar visit – skål!

SATISFY YOUR SWEET TOOTH

Sweet dreams are made of Norway’s heart-shaped fluffy waffles topped with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of jam (or even just a sprinkling of sugar). If you crave something sweet while at sea, the International Café is a treasure trove of beautiful pastries and cakes. It’s open 24 hours, so you can enjoy these delicious delights anytime.

SCANDI-INSPIRED BUFFET

On dock days, you might glimpse crates of fresh produce being carried onto the ship. That’s because all of Princess Cruises’ sumptuous food is made from scratch using the best ingredients and with plenty of regional inspiration. Scandi-esque buffets of gravlax, platters piled high with local cured meats and cheeses, and plenty of seasonal game await you on a Nordic cruise.

SAMPLE STAVANGER’S HISTORY

This beautiful coastal city’s collection of of 18th- and 19th-century wooden buildings is one of the best preserved in northern Europe. Take Princess Cruises’ Flavours of Stavanger excursion to experience these wooden works of art and try some local foods, too. These include canned brisling (sprats), salted, dried and cured lamb and delicate lefse (flatbreads).

QUALITY PRODUCE AT THE CROWN GRILL

Fresh, premium seafood and meats abound in Norway but they’re also a Princess Cruises on-board staple. The lavishly decorated Crown Grill is the perfect spot for an indulgent at-sea dinner. The steaks rival those in the best off-board restaurants, while the surf-and-turf option also allows you to enjoy exquisite lobster.
