Your sneak preview to the Dawn's restaurants.
Aboard the Norwegian Dawn you'll discover NCL has rolled out the red carpet for its guests. This is Freestyle Cruising™ at its finest. NCL has created a dining atmosphere that's as free-spirited as the islands and cities we will visit. Not only will you be able to select from 10 spectacular restaurants with cuisine choices from all around the world, you'll also have the freedom to dine whenever you want. You are welcome to come early and stay late because the Dawn's dining hours extend from 5:30 'til midnight. For casual dining, the Norwegian Dawn features 24-hour room service plus two cafes that offer savory choices around the clock.

Norwegian Dawn's roster of 10 restaurants has a very international flavor. No other cruise line has more dining choices. From the French elegance of Le Bistro to the exotic Asian allure of Bamboo, the Dawn will treat you to a world of culinary options. The Dawn will also be premiering Cagney's Steak House. With generous steak and filet portions fit for king-sized appetites and delicious seafood, lamb and chicken dishes, this restaurant is bound to be a big hit. This is your inside pass to the newest, most tempting selection of dining options on the high seas.
