Holland America Line is introducing a new "Dutch Day" culinary experience that celebrates the cruise line's history on every cruise to Alaska, Europe, Asia, or the Caribbean.
Dutch Day will be a Dutch-themed dinner served once per cruise in the main dining room, with many dishes also available at the Lido Market.
In addition, Holland America Line's Orange Party will be held on the same day, and guests can enjoy freshly made poffertjes at Crow's Nest Café.
“Holland America Line remains deeply connected to our roots in the Netherlands, and Dutch Day is the perfect way to honor our history through experiences that celebrate the country’s culinary culture,” said Michael Stendebach, vice president of Holland America Line’s food, beverage and rooms division.
“Our guests appreciate special touches like Daelmans Stroopwafel to loosen up or a dish in the dining room that is distinctly Dutch, and we are delighted to extend the cultural experience over a whole day to showcase more of our heritage“.
The special Dutch Day dinner features classic and contemporary Dutch delicacies. The selection of starters includes a bay prawn cocktail with hollandaise cocktail sauce, Erwten Soep (Hollandaise pea soup), and mushroom cream puff pastry with hollandaise sauce.
Among the Dutch-inspired main courses are Bami Goreng, a stir-fried noodle dish with chicken satay and peanut sauce; pan-fried Dover sole with lemon butter; and Hodge Podge Klapstuk with chateau potatoes. For dessert, choose from Bosche Bol, Tompouce, or a slice of traditional Dutch apple pie.
In collaboration with Daelmans Stroopwafels, Dutch Day will also feature Stroopwafel Cheesecake as a dessert on the dinner menu in the Dining Room and Lido Market, and a Napoleon Stroopwafel at afternoon tea. Additionally, instead of the traditional cabin hot chocolate, guests will find a Daelmans Stroopwafel waiting for them on their pillow.
