The Norwegian Star's Main Dining Rooms: The Aqua & The Versailles

Norwegian Cruise Line created Freestyle Dining -- a flexible approach to dining in the restaurant of your choice, at the time that is convenient for you. The main dining rooms, The Aqua and The Versailles, are the largest restaurants on the Norwegian Star. You can almost always show up without a reservation and be seated right away.

The Aqua:

The Norwegian Star's Aqua restaurant is located midship on Deck 6. Generally, there's something for just about every appetite. Starters include crab dip, fruit, and soups such as chilled apple bisque and beet soup. Grilled salmon, lean burgers, and fusilli pasta and barbecued pork are among main entrees featured on the lunch menu, and for dinner expect beef, fish, poultry, and vegetarian selections. For dessert in Aqua onboard Norwegian Star you'll find pies, berries served in Grand Marnier sauce, fruit, and ice cream among your choices.

The Versailles:

French Renaissance gilt awaits you in the Norwegian Star's Versailles restaurant. For dinner in either main dining room, look for six main entrees which remain constant, and three nightly specials which vary. Greek salads, baked shrimp, and French Onion Soup exemplify starters, and traditional main entree favorites include Grilled New York Strip Steak, baked chicken breast, and roasted salmon. Vegetarian Lasagna and Chicken Piccata with Gnocchi are among entrees for more adventuresome palates. Desserts include sherbet, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and pies. The Versailles main dining room on Norwegian Star is located Aft on Deck 6.
