Holland America Line Adds New Chefs and Experts to Its Culinary Arts
Center Presented by Food & Wine Magazine

SEATTLE, July 22
Cat Cora, the first American woman Iron Chef and host of the Food
Network's Cat Cora Show, and Mark Bittman, New York Times food writer
and cookbook author, headline an impressive list of celebrated
culinary experts added to Holland America Line's growing palate of
names for its new Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine
magazine. The program will feature more than 50 culinary experts on
Holland America Line cruises and provides guests with an opportunity
to experience demonstrations and seminars conducted by top chefs, wine
experts and leading cookbook authors.

"As the program gains momentum, we are joining forces with a diverse
and wonderful group of culinary experts from chefs and fromagers to
authors and sommeliers," said Rick Meadows, CTC, Holland America
Line's senior vice president, marketing and sales. "Guests will learn
from and mingle with these renowned chefs and culinary authorities
using our state-of-the-art show kitchens. This is an exciting
partnership and we are delighted to be working with Food & Wine
magazine to bring the culinary experience alive for our guests."

Cora joins the January 7, 2006, cruise to Australia and New Zealand
aboard the ms Statendam. Bittman sails aboard the January 11, 2006, ms
Rotterdam voyage to South America. The initiative is part of the
line's Culinary Arts Center program, which is offered on every
sailing. Holland America Line is spending more than $13 million to
create and install the Culinary Arts Center facilities, which are
already on half of the line's 13-ship fleet and will be in place
across the fleet by mid-2006.

Resembling the elaborate show kitchens used by celebrity chefs on
television cooking programs, each Culinary Arts Center features an
innovative theater-style venue. The state-of-the-art "show kitchen at
sea" has large plasma video screens to display overhead and close-up
video views of the food preparation, and a large cooking display
counter where guests can learn new cooking techniques and dishes.

The Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine magazine will bring
the pages of the epicurean magazine alive on dozens of sailings of the
world's leading premium cruise line. Guests will learn
tricks-of-the-trade from top professionals and can try their hand at
preparing dishes and tasting wines representative of specific
ports-of-call. Food & Wine also will design and provide recipe cards
and wine-tasting notes that guests can take home along with copies of
the magazine. Other opportunities might include book signings,
question-and-answer sessions, market tours in ports of call, specially
designed on-board menus and more.
