Holland America Line Introduces 'Morimoto By Sea' Sushi Bar Featuring Menu by Chef Masaharu Morimoto

The specialty sushi bar is adjacent to the Tamarind dining area aboard five ships 

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 26, 2025 — Holland America Line is expanding its Morimoto By Sea dining experience with a new specialty sushi bar available on five ships in the fleet. This unique venue features a menu by the cruise line’s Global Fresh Fish Ambassador, Chef Masaharu Morimoto, offering a selection of his signature sushi, sashimi, rolls and smaller dishes. The Morimoto by Sea sushi bar is in addition to the existing Morimoto By Sea pop-up experience as well as the stand-alone specialty restaurant on Nieuw Amsterdam.

An intimate dining venue, the Morimoto By Sea sushi bar will seat 12 guests, with additional table seating in the surrounding area on Rotterdam, Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam. Eurodam will feature a small counter for sushi preparation with seating in the surrounding area. Guests can look forward to experiencing this premium sushi bar as it begins rolling out aboard Rotterdam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Eurodam from March through June 2025, respectively. Nieuw Amsterdam introduced the sushi bar with the Morimoto By Sea stand-alone restaurant in 2023.Those with existing bookings on these Holland America Line ships can take advantage of pre-cruise reservations to experience Morimoto By Sea.

“With Chef Morimoto’s knowledge and expertise in the sushi world, it made sense for him to expand beyond his Morimoto By Sea restaurant and develop a specialized sushi bar featuring his signature style and flavors,” said Michael Stendebach, vice president of food, beverage and rooms division for Holland America Line. “We’re excited to extend our fresh fish options and give our guests access to another specialty venue with cuisine by such a renowned chef.”

In addition to the Morimoto By Sea sushi bar, Holland America Line ships feature Chef Morimoto’s first floating restaurant, Morimoto By Sea. The venue is a stand-alone restaurant on Nieuw Amsterdam and a pop-up experience at least once per cruise on the remainder of the ships in the fleet.

Morimoto By Sea sushi bar, which will be located in the former Nami Sushi venue, is an a la carte menu offered for a surcharge. Reservations for the venue can be made pre-cruise or once aboard the ship.
