Holland America Cooking Shows 2019

Holland America Line continues to encourage guests to embrace cooking and the experts of America’s Test Kitchen with five new shows for 2019. A popular part of the Holland America experience, this is the Consumer Reports of cooking shows taken to sea. Instant traveler interest comes from the extensively tested recipes and practical tips passengers take home and put right to work. But there’s more.

These cooking shows are but one item on an impressive list of features that make up the Holland America Line global culinary program. Now don’t go Googling “Holland America Line global culinary program”. You won’t find much. This is more a matter of taking a step back to consider where this cruise line has been, where it is now and where it is going on one of the most popular category of cruise travel: Dining.

“Holland America Line guests are knowledge seekers, foodies and
learners, and our America’s Test Kitchen shows really resonate with them — which is why they’re wildly popular and draw standing-room-only crowds” – Orlando Ashford, Holland America Line’s president.
