Holland America Debuts New Martini Menu!
September 24th, 2008 Posted in Holland America, martini bar, martini menu
Holland America Line has introduced a new menu of martini cocktails on board its fleet of 14 ships. Featured on the menu are 19 Grey Goose martinis and a sampler platter of miniature martinis called the martini flight. The martini flight includes Holland America Line’s signature martini, the Yellow Tulip, a mixture of Grey Goose vodka, lychee juice, pineapple juice, guava juice, coconut cream and fresh lime juice. Other martinis included in the flight are the Peartini, Cosmopolitan, Sunshine Martini, Rum Sundae and High Tide Martini. A house specialty will be a Martini for Two with aged Cognac served with a dish of caviar and traditional garnishes. Holland America Line’s new martini menu will be featured in the Explorer’s Bar on its newest ship, Eurodam, in the Pinnacle Grill Bar of its Vista-class ships and in the Ocean Bar on Amsterdam, Maasdam, Rotterdam, Ryndam, Statendam, Veendam, Volendam and Zaandam.
Launched as a precursor to the highly anticipated Martinis that will be a part of the upcoming Mix specialty theme bar area, Holland America Line’s new martini menu was inspired to infuse a splash of sophistication to its bars and lounges. Mix will incorporate three theme bars -- Martinis, Champagne and Spirits & Ales. These enhancements are part of a new $200 million Signature of Excellence upgrade to Statendam, Maasdam, Ryndam, Veendam and Rotterdam that will start next spring with completion planned for late 2010.
