Holland America Line is partnering with Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) in a new premium partnership at sea that will sweeten guests’ experience onboard. 

Lindt LINDOR milk chocolate or sea salt milk chocolate truffles will be placed upon guests’ pillows once per cruise during the cruise line’s Gala Night. Additionally, guests heading to the main dining room on Dutch Day will enjoy a signature tulip-shaped Lindt chocolate mousse cake, available now onboard the Rotterdam and launching fleetwide in August. 

Especially for the summer, travelers will also be able to enjoy a Lindt Sundae featuring vanilla ice cream and custom Lindt chocolate sauce. Beginning in July, main dining room guests will enjoy a new addition to the Cake Me Away dessert program: a Lindt Flourless Chocolate Cake, created in partnership with Lindt’s Master Chocolatier, Ann Czaja. 

“We’re thrilled to align ourselves with Lindt, a globally beloved brand and one of the world’s leading chocolatiers, to launch an initiative that represents our deep connection to Europe and elevates the culinary experience on board,” said Michael Stendebach, vice president of food, beverage and rooms division for Holland America Line. “We hope our guests take the opportunity to indulge in all the special moments this partnership offers.”

Holland America Line, which has been sailing cruisers for 151 years, was also featured as the set of an episode of “Top Chef” in early June.
