The hot-dog and waffle counter on the fjord boat

The Future of the Fjords / Vision of the Fjords electric vessels both run a small galley — coffee, cinnamon buns, pølse med lompe. Not great food, but Norwegian-canonical for a boat ride.

Tied to Nærøyfjord

The Nærøyfjord eat slot is structurally thin: the destination is the boat ride, and the only food on the boat is the galley. The Future of the Fjords (a 2018 all-electric catamaran) and Vision of the Fjords (its 2016 plug-in hybrid sister), both built by Brødrene Aa in Hyen, run a small counter selling coffee, kanelboller (cinnamon buns), bottled water, and pølse med lompe (a Norwegian hot dog wrapped in a soft potato pancake).

The food is unremarkable. The experience of eating it on a near-silent low-emissions catamaran through a UNESCO fjord is not.

What we plan to try

One pølse med lompe and one coffee, eaten on the open back deck so the photograph of the cliff walls overhead is taken between bites.
