Premium Cruise Line, Hurtigruten, has offered their guests incredible experiences for over a century; traveling along the Norwegian coastline, and providing unparalleled enrichment and expedition-style excursions. Every venue on their ships is thoughtfully crafted with the comfort of their guests in mind, and one of the most elevated aspects of each cruise is the onboard dining. Hurtigruten focuses heavily on Norwegian producers, local ingredients, and authentic Scandinavian flavors when creating each of their dining venues; making each meal a truly delicious experience.
One of their most popular restaurants, found on their Coastal Express ships, is Kysten. This sit-down restaurant is simple, yet elegant; providing a tasty menu created by the skilled Hurtigruten chefs, using the best ingredients the coast of Norway has to offer. The entire menu is based on seaweed and kelp, an important aspect of the marine life along Norway's coastline. In addition, you will find incredible offerings from the land including tender reindeer meat, local butter, wild herbs, and local cheeses.
