Embark on a sun-kissed culinary voyage at Palomar, Norwegian Cruise Line's premier Mediterranean-inspired specialty dining venue. Debuting on Norwegian Prima in 2022, this upscale gem has since graced ships like Norwegian Viva, Aqua, Luna, Encore, Bliss, and Breakaway—often transforming the beloved Ocean Blue into a more refined coastal haven. With its elegant design featuring natural rope and wood accents, pops of azure blue, and intimate indoor-outdoor seating overlooking the ocean or pools, Palomar evokes the charm of a seaside villa.
A $60 per-person cover charge (or specialty dining package credit) unlocks a menu starring pristine seafood and bold regional flavors. Start with chilled oysters, ceviche, or grilled octopus; savor mains like pan-seared sea bass with herb-infused beurre blanc, lobster risotto, or tender veal chop with Mediterranean vegetables. Premium meats shine too, from herb-crusted rack of lamb to filet mignon with truffle sauce. Pair with an extensive wine list boasting Mediterranean varietals. Desserts tempt with baklava cheesecake, limoncello sorbet, or chocolate-hazelnut torte.
Reservations are essential for this serene escape, where attentive service and open-kitchen views elevate Freestyle Dining. Ideal for romantic evenings or celebratory feasts, Palomar blends sophistication with seaside simplicity—proving NCL masters the art of elevated indulgence at sea.
