SEATTLE, Aug. 2, 2017 /CNW/ -- Holland America Line
is reinventing the traditional dessert buffet by introducing a
Chocolate Surprise parade on the last gala evening of every cruise.
Rather than guests having to make their way to the buffet and wait
in line for a sweet treat, Chocolate Surprise brings bite-sized
confections to guests in the main public areas as they enjoy the
evening's entertainment.
After dinner, waiters parade through the Promenade decks with
trays of chocolate desserts, passing them out to guests in the bars
and lounges as they take in music or enjoy a cocktail. The nearly
hour-long parade is the newest addition to Holland America Line's
growing list of culinary innovations that put an unconventional
twist on a traditional event.
"Guests love our culinary events, particularly those featuring
chocolate, and we wanted to create something special that enhances
their evening activities," said Orlando
Ashford, president of Holland America Line. "It's all about
making the most of our exceptional service, and the Chocolate
Surprise delights guests in a most delicious and memorable
way."
The Chocolate Surprise menu includes rich, creamy and chocolaty
bite-sized desserts that will delight even the sweetest tooth. As
servers with silver trays pass by, guests can choose from chocolate
cones with lemon curd, bittersweet chocolate and butter cream;
double chocolate cupcakes; dark chocolate hazelnut pops; milk
chocolate raspberry tarts; chocolate macaroons with Grand Marnier;
chocolate-dipped marshmallows and caramel puffed rice treats with
chocolate sauce.
Chocolate Surprise takes place on all ships fleetwide now and is
in addition to even more tempting selections on the dessert menu in
the restaurants.
