Holland America Line Committed to Culinary Excellence

Have you ever heared about the Holland America Line? This cruise ship is a duplication of the legendary Holland America Line, a ship that sailed between Holland and America in the early 50's.

Holland America Line has opened a new Culinary Training Program, designed in cooperation with the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), at its training center in Manila, the Philippines, to train shipboard culinary staff for its expanding fleet of premium cruise ships. Trainees will live at the facility while completing a three-week immersion culinary course.

"Holland America Line is renowned for its culinary expertise and extraordinary food presentations in the dining rooms and many specialty restaurants," said Richard D. Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs. "Our new culinary training program in Manila will ensure that our culinary and beverage staff continues to raise the bar as we provide outstanding meals and service to our guests."

The curriculum was designed by the CIA under the direction of a Holland America Line Culinary Operations team lead by Steve Kirsch, director of culinary operations, and Rudi Sodamin, master chef.
