Food for Thought

Anyone who knows us, knows we love food. So one of the huge influencers for our decision to undertake this expedition was the expectation of being well catered for in the area of culinary content.

The food available on board looks amazing. Almost all of it is sourced locally, from the areas the ships sail to. Hurtigruten support more than 50 Norwegian suppliers, and their produce is delivered to more than a dozen of the ports-of-call during the journey.

Obviously fish features heavily in the menus, but we have a choice of three restaurants on board. Fine dining; local dishes; and what can most simply be described as a "fast food" eatery, although even there the food on offer is much more than yer usual burger.

There are a few expedition stops where we'll also have chance to eat on dry land, so we're looking forward to trying more traditional Norwegian cuisine in those places too.
