Holland America Line is bringing cooking shows on board, through a new partnership with America’s Test Kitchen.

The initiative was announced this week at a press conference at the Institute of Culinary Education.

Holland America Line’s shipboard Culinary Arts Center will be transformed to replicate the television set where the America’s Test Kitchen TV shows are recorded for broadcast by more than 350 public television stations nationwide.

Designed specifically for the cruise line, the shipboard shows will be hosted by Holland America Line chefs trained by America’s Test Kitchen culinary experts.

Shipboard cooking demonstrations and hands-on workshops – with topics ranging from shaping Asian dumplings to the perfect pie crust – will combine accessible recipes and the science-based approach of America’s Test Kitchen.

Guests will experience 24-hour access to episodes of America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country television programs in their staterooms.

“America’s Test Kitchen will bring a new take on cooking classes at sea that spans not only recipes but also the science of the cooking process. Its mission is to determine the best methods, ingredients and cooking tools — and now these discoveries will be shared with our guests,” said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. “We provide our guests with tremendously immersive and authentic experiences to enrich their travel, and America’s Test Kitchen’s commitment to delivering a quality culinary experience with a focus on learning is a perfect match.”
