Updated Venues on Norwegian Aqua

We’ve enhanced some of the most popular restaurants to offer an innovative – but still familiar – experience aboard Norwegian Aqua.

• Enjoy expanded seating at Hasuki, our beloved Teppanyaki-style restaurant.
• We wouldn’t dare set sail without our signature steakhouse, Cagney’s Steakhouse. This favorite will be elevated with extended seating and all-new décor inspired by 20th-century modernist architecture.
• Our first-ever Mediterranean restaurant, Palomar, debuted on Prima and is back for more – with expanded spaces and updated décor (see more, below).

When & Where to Dine on Norwegian Aqua

Date Night

Step into a scene out of Versailles at Le Bistro, an exquisite French restaurant with floor-to-ceiling chandeliers, posh décor, and delectable fine-dining. While Commodore Room is considered a “Main Dining Room” (i.e. complimentary), it still feels every bit the refined and sophisticated restaurant that it is. The extensive menu – mixing classic favorites with unique new dishes - changes daily, and the décor is as fresh as the food.

Families

Our complimentary Indulge Food Hall first premiered on Prima and has been a huge hit for diners of all ages. Enjoy quick-delivered cuisine from a variety of stations including the aforementioned Planterie, Global foods like Tapas and Indian, as well as fresh salads and sandwiches. Best of all, everyone can order whatever they want from the tableside iPads.

Kids always love Teppanyaki restaurants (let's be honest, so do adults), which allows parents to enjoy the flavors, too. From the new Sukhothai to the fun-filled tables at Hasuki to sushi rolls at Nama, you can’t go wrong with these choices.

Large Groups

Explore the flavors of the Med at Norwegian’s first-ever Mediterranean restaurant, Palomar. Seafood is the star attraction here, like tuna crudo, grilled octopus, and the unique Thalassini Salata (seafood salad). The large capacity, indoor-outing seating, and breathtaking views ensure a memorable experience for all.

Quick bites and savory delights return with Surfside Café & Grill. Whatever you’re craving, chances are you will find it here – with spacious, seaside seating options. This complimentary buffet serves up plentiful options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Indoor and outdoor seating available.
