How Holland America Line is Elevating Cruise Cuisine

One of the purest joys of travel is to taste different flavors— breaking out of your comfort zone to try a new dish is a wholly rewarding endeavor. But what about all the meals in between? How do you keep the culinary high going in between discoveries? Holland America Line has the solution: delicious food, through and through. Read on to discover what you can expect on board some of their cruise ships.

Fine Dining

With a team of world-class celebrity chefs comprising the Culinary Council for Holland America Line, you can rest assured that every meal on board is bound to exhilarate your taste buds … but especially so with the fine dining options. The Dining Room serves as the go-to for great food for any meal of the day, while other venues provide the chance to discover something new each evening. Savor 28-day wet-aged USDA prime steaks at the Pinnacle Grill, treat yourself to braised chicken cacciatore al forno at Canaletto or try a lobster tempura roll at the ever-stylish Nami Sushi.

Casual Bites

Sometimes, you’re not looking for a culinary experience, but you just want to treat yourself to something quick and mouth-watering. Holland America Line has you covered with a range of eatery options. Start your day with a traditional Dutch coffee at the Grand Dutch Café, chow down on a Nathan’s Famous hot dog with golden French fries at the Dive-In, beat the tropical heat with a generous helping of gelato or enjoy a pre-dinner snack at New York Pizza or Lido Market. Summed up, you’re never at a loss for where to find tasty treats big or small.

Culinary Cruises

Everyone loves a good meal, but then there are foodies. If you snap a photo of every immaculately plated dish you see or spend hours rabbit-holing recipes online, chances are you’re the latter, and a traditional cruise isn’t going to tickle your interest the way it might for a typical cruiser. That’s why Holland America Line is thrilled to present Culinary Cruises. Set sail with the world’s leading celebrity chefs and wine experts, sample their masterpieces, learn their secrets at cooking demonstrations and wine-and-dine with them at lavish dinners and tastings.

Salivating at the opportunity to try any of these delectable options? The food is world-class, but that’s only part of the journey. Our travel agents are ready to help create your ideal getaway, working diligently with your preference for ports, locales or daydreams. That, plus the exclusive perks and amenities they can secure from Holland America Line all but guarantee your next vacation is as sweet as an extra scoop of gelato.
