Guests sailing during 2022 holiday season to
experience a whole new holiday dining offering—including a
new gourmet Thanksgiving menu
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif., Oct. 19,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Guests sailing on a Princess
Cruises vacation over the 2022 holiday season will enjoy a host of
new gourmet dining options and traditional go-to's. Today, the
Princess culinary arts team, led by Chef Rudi Sodamin, unveiled the Princess Cruise
Culinary Collection of Holiday Menus, a new series of inspired fare
available in the main dining rooms throughout the fleet ranging
from a Thanksgiving feast featuring five entrees, to the meaningful
and fun foods of Hanukkah, delectable Christmas dishes from
traditions around the world, and concluding with a sparkling New
Year's Gala menu.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday period, Princess will offer dozens
of sailings to ports of call around the world. No matter where they
happen to be in their itinerary, each ship will recognize the
American Thanksgiving holiday on November
24 in high style—with festive autumnal decorations, and
Thanksgiving-inspired activities with football broadcast on outdoor
big screens. Of course, the centerpiece of the Princess Cruise
Thanksgiving celebration will be the elaborate Thanksgiving
feast.
"Growing up in a large family, holiday meals were always
extremely important to me and a source of excitement and
anticipation. But it wasn't until I was an adult and went to work
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York
City that I learned about the American tradition of
Thanksgiving where food is the undisputed star of the show," said
the Austrian-born Sodamin, head of Culinary Arts for Princess
Cruises. "The imaginative and innovative new Thanksgiving menu
honors cherished holiday traditions while also introducing some
exciting fresh options that we hope can become new favorites.
Collaborating with our talented team of culinary artists on this
menu has been a meaningful and memorable. This year will be a
totally stress-free holiday as we'll do all the shopping, cooking
and clean up too!"
"The entire Food & Beverage staff sees this new Thanksgiving
menu as an opportunity to go the extra mile in impressing our
guests," says Sami Kohen, Princess'
vice president of food and beverage. "Princess has always done a
great job taking the stress out of the holidays and making each
holiday special for our guests, and with this new Thanksgiving
menu, we have elevated the experience to a whole new level."
The four-course Thanksgiving menu offers a choice of five
entrées. Naturally, there will be juicy whole roasted turkey served
with apple sage dressing, giblet gravy and the rest of the
traditional American Thanksgiving trimmings like caramelized sweet
potato, brussels sprouts and whole cranberry sauce. Vegetarians
will appreciate the offering of homemade potato gnocchi with
roasted butternut squash and sage in a light Champaign-parmesan
cream or the grilled vegetable mille feuille with roasted red
pepper sauce. The other entrées on offer are a grilled jumbo shrimp
and seared sea scallops combination with a tomato-caper beurre
blanc and a festive pineapple-glazed ham spiked with cloves served
in a pineapple-bourbon sauce with mashed yams. The full menu
follows below.
