Holland America Line launches ‘Dutch Day’ experience
Holland America Line has launched a fleet-wide ‘Dutch Day’ experience to celebrate its 150+ year history.
The cruise line will offer a Dutch themed dinner once per cruise in the main dining room, with many of the dishes also offered in the casual Lido Market.
The menu features classic and contemporary dishes including Dutch Pea Soup, Hodge Podge Klapstuk and a Bosche Bol, a chocolate covered cream puff.
Holland America Line has also partnered with Daelmans Stroopwafels, a family-owned bakery founded in the Netherlands in 1904, to offer Stroopwafel Cheesecake and a Stroopwafel Napoleon.
Select bars will serve a Stroopwafel Liqueur on ships sailing in Europe.
Additionally, in place of the traditional stateroom turn-down chocolate, guests will find a Daelmans Stroopwafel on their pillow.
On all 11 ships, the Crow’s Nest Café will offer daily fresh poffertjes – a traditional Dutch treat resembling small, fluffy pancakes – for an additional charge.
Michael Stendebach, vice president of food, beverage and rooms, said: “Holland America Line remains deeply connected to our roots in the Netherlands and ‘Dutch Day’ is the perfect way to honor our history.”
Holland America Line’s Orange Party will now be held on ‘Dutch Day’.
The party takes place once per cruise and pays homage to the line’s heritage with live music, cocktails and other themed activities.
