We spoke with Tone Elvheim, Head waiter of Hurtigruten Nord Norge, to understand how comfort is seamlessly integrated into the experience of exploring the fjords.
Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your role and what you do?
"My name is Tone Elvheim, and I am the head waiter here on Hurtigruten Nord Norge. I have been here since 2021, and my role involves ensuring our passengers have an unforgettable journey through the Norwegian fjords."
What are the most important factors to consider when choosing furniture for a ship?
"The furniture must be easy to clean and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) friendly. They should be simple and light for waiters to move, and easy to clean for those maintaining the restaurant. They must also cater to all guests, providing support as our bodies change over time."
Have passengers commented on the comfort and design of the chairs?
"Yes, passengers often praise the chairs for their comfort. They love that they can lean back, making it easy to relax and enjoy their coffee while taking in the beautiful views of Norway."
How do the chairs contribute to the general atmosphere in the restaurant?
"The chairs have a calming green color that blends perfectly with the restaurant's brown decor. They're easy to clean, which is a huge plus, and they create a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere."
Can you share some specific design elements or adapted functions of the chairs that make them especially suited to Hurtigruten?
"The chairs are sturdy and remain upright even during rough weather, which is essential. They also have armrests that offer extra comfort and support, particularly for our older guests, preventing falls during rough seas."
How do you think the furniture's comfort contributes to the general experience of exploring the Norwegian fjords?
"Comfortable seating allows passengers to fully immerse themselves in the stunning views of the fjords. They often turn their chairs towards the windows, staying seated longer to enjoy the serene landscape."
