SEATTLE -- Holland America Line has introduced a new
alternative, vegetarian-only menu, as well as 30 new vegetarian dishes to their
main dining room menu, furthering the line's commitment to providing
exceptional dining experiences for all guests.
Holland
America Line's award-winning Master Chef Rudi Sodamin has designed an exclusive
22-dish vegetarian and vegan menu that highlights vegetables and other
naturally healthy ingredients in vibrant, flavorful culinary selections. The alternative
menu includes a full range of appetizers, salads, soups and main entrees, and
is available upon request at no extra cost for lunch and dinner in the main
dining room aboard all 15 ships in the fleet.
"Many
more people are choosing a vegetarian culinary experience, yet the options can
be limited," said Richard Meadows, Holland America Line's executive vice
president of marketing, sales and guest programs. "By offering a complete
vegetarian-only menu and the largest vegetarian selection at sea, we are
ensuring that all guests can take part in an exceptional dining experience
while cruising with Holland America Line."
The savory
collection of dishes on the new vegetarian-only menu include Portobello
Mushroom and Chipotle Quesadillas, Vietnamese Vegetable Spring Rolls, Curried
Vegetable Empanadas, Spicy Lentil and Garbanzo Salad, Sweet and Sour Vegetable
Tempura, Vegetable Jambalaya, Grilled Vegetable and Tofu Kebobs, and Baked
Cheese Polenta with Mushrooms and Artichoke Hearts.
In addition
to the new vegetarian-only menu, 30 new vegetarian dishes will be added to the
main dining room menu. These offerings also will be featured as a second
vegetarian option in the casual Lido buffet during lunch. Additionally, every
dinner menu will now offer guests the option of one appetizer, one soup or
salad, and at least one vegetarian entrée each evening, increasing the total
number of vegetarian options on board to 52 delectable dishes.
Some of the
newly expanded vegetarian selections on the main dining room menu include Corn
and Zucchini Pancakes served with Southwest-style cous cous salad, Asparagus
and Zucchini Torte with wild rice and sun-dried tomato coulees, Carrot and
Parmesan Risotto topped with a lemony arugula salad and crispy carrot ribbons,
and Grilled Eggplant and Bell Pepper Masala braised in yogurt with Indian
spices and served with coconut-pistachio basmati rice.
Extraordinary
culinary experiences are a hallmark of every Holland America Line vacation.
Aboard each cruise, guests can choose from an array of dining options -- from
gourmet-quality fare served in the elegant Pinnacle Grill to casual food
favorites served buffet-style in the relaxing Lido Restaurant.
