All Viking Ocean cruise ships have an onboard "snow room". Launched in 2013, the Viking Grace was the world's first snow-chamber vessel. Snow Grotto ("Snow grotto")

 

Viking Cruises is a spa resort where snow falls from the ceiling. Such relaxation experiences (advertised as beneficial to the circulation of the body) include heating up in a sauna (steam room), then walking into this small room equipped with benches and dark stone walls illuminated by blue light. Snow on the floor is kept at sub-zero temperatures. This arctic-style facility is part of a thermal spa on a ship. This relaxation area also has a hot tub, sauna, heated ceramic sun loungers, a therapeutic shower, and a thermal salt water pool. Access to Snow Grotto is free for all passengers.

Viking Venus offers the following restaurants: restaurant (dining room), buffets (Viking Deli, World Cafe), Aquavit Terrace (outdoors), specialties (Italian grill, chef's table), private dining room (2 rooms). Viking Venus offers include free alcohol (wine and beer for lunch and dinner).

 

The restaurant on Deck 2 serves as the ship's main dining room, serving breakfast and dinner in a contemporary setting with nearly every table within sight of massive floor-to-ceiling windows that span 180 degrees of the room.

 

World Cafe is a Viking Venus buffet. The food served here is not standard, however, with many high quality dishes on offer. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also has windows that open fully when weather conditions permit, and gorgeous outdoor seating overlooking the ship's pool.

 

The Pool Grill is open for lunch and serves some of the most delicious hot dogs and hamburgers in the sea.

 

Mamsen's is a favorite found on the right side of Deck 7 in the Explorers' Lounge. Heart-shaped waffles for breakfast and a variety of traditional Scandinavian sandwiches for lunch.

 

Manfredi's is an Italian-style place named after Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio, the founder of the luxury line Silversea. Come hungry: Dishes like Bistecca Fiorentina and numerous pastas are so well prepared that leaving food on your plate is almost a sin.

 

The Chef's Table offers five separate themed menus that change approximately every three days. These comprehensive tasting menus are paired with a selection of complimentary wines.

 

The Kitchen Table is the only place that comes with an additional charge. Passengers are encouraged to take a shore excursion with a chef of local produce.

 

Afternoon tea with all the necessary additives is held daily at Wintergarden
