The culinary element is a highlight of a Holland America Line cruise for many guests. In addition to the exceptional cuisine that is showcased in a variety of shipboard venues, expert chefs come aboard and share their knowledge in the Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine magazine. Guests can then bring new recipes and new skills to their own home kitchens where they can whip up some of our favorite dishes like a trained professional. The special “Sip, Savor & Sail” cruises bring a more immersive experience to the already-comprehensive culinary program.

There are less than 30 restaurants in the entire Caribbean with this honor. On Nieuw Amsterdam’s seven-day Western Caribbean voyage departing Nov. 29, 2015, Chef Natacha Gomez will delight guests with her flavorful and unique culinary creations. Gomez is the catering manager […]
