Dining rooms are one of the major attractions of any cruise ship. You are bound to find one or more opulent restaurants on any cruise ship with a unique wedding reception feel. These beautiful dining rooms are the preferred dining area for most passengers on board. Meals from the dining rooms are almost always included in the cruise fare, and there is no limit on how much food you can order.

However, some passengers tend not to be impressed with the food offered in the dining areas. They opt to splurge on specialty restaurants, which whip up tasty food, making it hard to want to eat from the common dining area; if you are a foodie and want the best out of your cuisine while onboard a cruise ship, here is a list of the best 5-star dining restaurants on cruise ships.

Disney’s Animator’s Palate

The Animator’s Palate is onboard the Disney Cruise Lines. Every ship on the line has restaurants that bring the Disney characters to life while serving the tastiest dishes at sea. The restaurant’s space pays tribute to the art animation through the special effect, décor and shows you will experience while Dining.

The shows will vary depending on the night and the ship. They often transform the room from color to black and white. You might interact with a real-life Disney character while Dining if you are lucky.

Oceania’s Regatta- Class Dining Rooms

Oceania’s R-class Grand Dining Rooms on their line of ships, including Nautica, Insignia, Regatta and Sirena, take the gold to offer a 5-star dining experience while at sea. With their pristine quality and intimate vibes, the life offers exquisite cuisine from the celebrity chef Jacques Pepin.

Passengers can enjoy dishes such as the duck a l’orange with braised red cabbage, sturgeon, and almond potatoes. The dining area offers a wide range of healthy foods, and all the food in all the restaurants is served with China crystal glassware.

Viking Ocean Cruises’ The Restaurant

‘The Restaurant’ is Viking’s main dining area which is a cosy venue featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and serves a spectacular cuisine that brings different flavors onboard with each destination. It has a local tasting menu ranging from paella and tapas when the ship is docked in Barcelona and other daily specials with various options, including heart-healthy, vegetarian and sugar-free dishes. If you are craving a regional entrée, you can start with a Caesar salad, and you are free to pick anything you want to eat from the three menus available. 

Cunard’s Britannia Restaurant

The Britannia Restaurant on the Cunard will immediately transport you to the golden years of cruising. Their restaurant décor is arguably one of the most beautiful at sea. It entices more passengers to dine in their beautiful suits and gown, even on non-formal nights.

Britannia is one of the most poised restaurants at sea with the floor-to-ceiling art pieces, the sweeping double staircases, and the tuxedo-clad waitpersons. The menu is heavily inclined to French cuisine, but there are many British dishes, such as the roast turkey and the chicken curry.
