made with Lindt chocolate
SEATTLE, June 20,
2024 /CNW/ -- In a confluence of tradition and taste,
Holland America Line today announced
a sweet collaboration with Lindt & Sprüngli (USA), the makers of LINDOR truffles and the
No. 1 premium chocolate brand1 in the US. This
collaboration is set to enrich the cruising experience, inviting
guests to savor special moments on board with a touch of chocolatey
elegance.
A Premium Partnership at Sea
Two iconic brands steeped
in rich European heritage, Holland America Line and Lindt are
united by a passion to create exceptional, carefully crafted
experiences aboard Holland America's global fleet.
"Holland America Line's dedication to extraordinary service
mirrors the meticulous craftsmanship behind Lindt chocolate, where
the fusion of the finest ingredients creates an unparalleled
indulgent experience," stated Melissa
Mendoza, vice president of marketing at Lindt & Sprüngli
(USA). "The partnership between
Holland America Line and Lindt presents a remarkable chance for the
Lindt LINDOR brand to connect with travelers passionate about
cuisine and attract a new generation of LINDOR fans with
unforgettable brand moments."
Onboard Indulgent Moments
With Holland America Line,
every journey is an opportunity to create lasting memories. As
night falls on Gala Night, guests
can retreat to the comfort of their cabin and be greeted by the
"Sweet Dreams" turndown service, featuring the irresistibly smooth
Lindt LINDOR milk chocolate truffles or Sea Salt milk chocolate
truffles once per cruise.
Guests can savor the journey on board and indulge in special
moments with Lindt chocolate desserts, including a signature
tulip-shaped Lindt chocolate mousse cake. Tulips are an enduring
Dutch symbol and reflective of Holland America Line's founding in
the Netherlands. The tulip-shaped
Lindt chocolate mousse cake is already aboard Rotterdam on its Dutch Day dinner menu in the
Dining Room and will be fleetwide as of August 2024.
Beginning summer 2024, guests will be able to enjoy a Lindt
Sundae including vanilla ice cream topped with a custom-made Lindt
chocolate sauce, as well as Lindt chocolate tulips one night per
cruise in the Dining Room on the Dutch Day dinner menu.
In July 2024 – just in time for
World Chocolate Day – Holland America Line will unveil a unique and
irresistible Lindt Flourless Chocolate Cake collaborated in
partnership with Lindt's Master Chocolatier, Ann Czaja. The cake will be available on the
Dining Room menu for cruises over seven days and will be featured
during its indulgent 'Cake Me Away' program, which is a new onboard
dessert extravaganza with more than 22 tantalizing five-layer cakes
in 16 decadent flavors on display.
"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."
