Holland America Line’s Culinary Arts Center

The Culinary Arts Center, presented by Food & Wine magazine, is a unique venue onboard Holland America Line ships where guests can watch culinary demonstrations. Guests are immersed in the unique traditions and tastes of the ports of calls they will visit. They can sample fine wines from around the world or learn to make a new gourmet dish in a hands-on cooking class taught by our own Master Chefs or culinary guests.

The Culinary Arts Center features:

• An innovative theater-style venue with a state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen
• Multiple large plasma video screens so you don’t miss the fine details (or you can watch the broadcast from the comfort of your own stateroom)
• Cooking demonstrations and hands-on cooking classes by our own award-winning chefs and their culinary staff
• Wine and cheese experts hosting special wine tastings and food pairing seminars
• Special guest chefs, wine experts and leading cookbook authors who appear in the pages of Food & Wine magazine

Holland America Line has done a wonderful job creating a venue where guests can enhance their onboard experience and create a greater level of culinary understanding.
