Review of MS Roald Amundsen deck 6 (Promenade-Dining-Lobby-Science)
- Observation Deck (fore-located Indoor Explorer Deck, lower level 1 of 2) is glass-enclosed (with wall-to-wall windows) and connected (via inside stairs) with the Outdoor Observation Deck (on deck 7 above). It also has access to deck 6's Outdoor Walking Deck, thus forming a small Promenade Deck in the ship's forward section.
- The Lobby area on Deck 6 houses the Reception Desk (24-hour guest service), Tour Office (expeditions booking and information) and Boutique Shop (selling hand-made souvenirs, special occasion gifs, Hurtigruten logo merchandise).
- Fredheim Restaurant (capacity 71 seats, aft-portside location) is a Bistro (casual dining lounge) named after Villa Fredheim (early-20th-century hunting station on Spitsbergen Island). Fredheim Restaurant offers light snacks and beverages (in a lounge seating) and has a separate buffet dining area.
- The aft-located Aune Restaurant (Aune Main Dining) is the ship's complimentary Dining Room (capacity 234 seats) with floor-ceiling windows, buffet station in the middle, self-service beverage station (for coffee-tea-juices), an outdoor seating area (alfresco terrace). The Galley / Kitchen is adjacent to the Restaurant. Aune Restaurant serves complimentary Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Breakfast is buffet-style (bacon, eggs, sausages, cold meats, cheeses, seafood, bread selection, cereals, fruits, porridge). Lunch is also buffet-style (salads, soups, hot/cold meats, seafood, vegetables, desserts). Dinner is 2-seating and waiter-served (3-course menu, including traditional Scandinavian dishes). Wine by the bottle is offered at extra cost. Hurtigruten has a wine package available for purchase at the Reception.
The fore-located Amundsen Science Centre (on the below photo) is an Activity Center (large "scientific lounge" / research lab) packed with high-tech gadgets (including microscopes and touch screens) and latest digital technology equipment. The venue consists of Library, Lecture Halls, Photo Center (photo- and video-processing studio), Conference Room, Expedition Team Room, dedicated areas for themed educational activities (workshops in biology, marine life, geography, photography, etc).
