Food is a passion for many people, and a cruise presents an array of opportunities to dine on some of the finest cuisine in the world.

We asked, and you answered. Holland America Line fans have a very diverse list of favorite menu items, from soups to salads, salmon to beef, chocolaty to fruity. We’re taking your top choices and creating the perfect menu for a dinner party, Holland America style.

As Holland America Line’s Master Chef Rudi Sodamin suggests, the best way to become immersed in a culture is to sample the local cuisine or specialty libations.

It’s “Culinary Week” at Holland America Line, and we’re celebrating all things food and drink. The diversity of options on a Holland America Line cruise is exceptional, with relaxed dining in the Lido, elegant dining in the Main Dining Room, and alternative dining in the Pinnacle Grill, including An Evening at Le Cirque.

Next week we’re featuring all things culinary, including your favorite recipes! So we ask you, Holland America Line fans, what are your favorite dishes on our ships?

Holland America Line’s Master Chef Rudi Sodamin recently has been honored by two esteemed organizations. He was awarded Austria’s prestigious Golden Cloche, and the Master Chef’s Table earned the Editor-in-Chief Award for “Best Dining Experience at Sea” from Porthole Cruise Magazine.

With Hollywood’s most exciting night of the year happening this Sunday, Holland America Line is serving up an array of Oscar-themed cocktails celebrating the movies and stars nominated for a golden statue.
