  • The Lido Market will also offer some of these dishes.
  • Passengers can enjoy fresh-made poffertjes (small, fluffy pancakes) daily at Crow’s Nest CafĂ© for a fee.
  • In collaboration with Daelmans Stroopwafel, a popular Dutch bakery, the cruise line will feature special desserts like Stroopwafel Cheesecake and Stroopwafel Napoleon.
  • Guests will receive a Daelmans Stroopwafel as a turn-down treat instead of the usual chocolate.
