There’s something about being near the sea that conjures a craving for fresh seafood; this is doubly true aboard cruises. And so, Holland America Line has upped the ante with a pair of fresh seafood-focused initiatives, designed for the gourmand guest in mind.
Global Fresh Fish Program
Seafood lovers rejoice! Holland America Line has launched a mouthwatering port-to-plate experience for its guests. This fresh fish program promises locally sourced ingredients and destination-inspired menus bursting with fresh flavors. Helming the program is their Fresh Fish Ambassador, Chef Masaharu Morimoto. You’ll be able to find Chef Morimoto’s handiwork featured prominently in the main dining room — with decadent dishes such as fresh cod yuzu with yogurt miso pickle vegetables, Morimoto epice lobster tails with lemon foam and fresh halibut XO with Asian vegetables — as well as the Morimoto by Sea pop-up experience serving a menu’s worth of artfully presented dishes and beverages.

Fresh Sushi
Vital Choice®
For those inspired to make a culinary change in their everyday, Holland America Line has teamed up with Vital Choice®, the most trusted choice for premium wild-caught fish and seafood, to provide vacation-quality dining at home. Guests can order dishes developed by Holland America Line’s chefs through Vital Choice and Harry & David catalogues; recipes include wild Alaska halibut, wild pacific king salmon and wild sea bass. Dinner now has the chance to serve as a mini-vacation, whisking you away to the glacier-lined bays of Alaska or the balmy lagoons of the Caribbean with every forkful.
