Experience Morimoto by Sea: A Culinary Evolution
A New Chapter in Holland America’s Sushi Experience
Holland America is thrilled to announce the expansion of Morimoto by Sea, bringing an elevated sushi experience curated by world-renowned Chef Masaharu Morimoto to more ships in our fleet. Known for his innovative approach to Japanese cuisine, Chef Morimoto’s expertise and signature flavors will now be available in a new à la carte sushi bar experience — replacing Nami Sushi — alongside exclusive culinary pop-ups at sea.
A Grand Debut on Rotterdam
The first official Morimoto by Sea sushi bar will launch on March 28, 2025, aboard Rotterdam. To celebrate, guests sailing the 9-Day Southern Caribbean Seafarer cruise will have the rare opportunity to meet Chef Morimoto in person on March 29–30. Watch as he works behind the sushi counter, sharing his artistry and passion with travelers on this unforgettable voyage.
