World-renowned master chef Reiner Greubel leads our award-winning culinary staff in providing extensive dining options, including "light & healthy" items, continental and ethnic cuisines, and vegetarian dishes. All are available in a range of dining venues.

From the formal, candlelit dining room to the informal, sun-splashed Lido Restaurant. From the all-American hot dogs and hamburgers of the Terrace Grill to the ethnic treats of the pasta and taco bars. And on the Rotterdam, Volendam and Zaandam, an alternate dining room featuring the regional cuisines of Italy.

So extraordinarily memorable is the cuisine aboard Holland America ships that the entire fleet has been inducted into the prestigious Confrerie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, a gourmet society founded in Paris and devoted to promoting the pleasures of the table.

Which, in turn, prompted the society to create a special badge denoting the new Professional de la Marine category, of which Holland America was the very first recipient. What does it take to earn such an esteemed award? Cuisine lovingly prepared and exquisitely presented in a number of exciting dining venues.
