Holland America announced today that guests onboard its ships can enjoy a specialty coffee blend created exclusively for the cruise line in partnership with Beukenhorst Coffee USA Inc.
Dutch coffee house Beukenhorst Koffie worked with Holland America Line to introduce Rotterdam 1873, a small-batch roasted coffee blend that pays homage to Holland America Line's legendary luxury.
The new coffee blend is named for the city and year Holland America Line was founded. It is described as, "a rich coffee blend of the best Indonesian and Central and South American Arabica coffee beans."
Rotterdam 1873 is available by the cup in all revenue venues, while guests looking to take home a souvenir from the cruise can purchase a regular or decaffeinated 12-ounce bag of the Rotterdam 1873 beans in Explorations Café and Grand Dutch Cafe.
"As an innovator in premium cruising, Holland America Line is continuously looking to create unique experiences, and we're excited to be the first cruise line to introduce our own branded, specialty coffee that guests can not only enjoy on board, but take home as well," said Orlando Ashford, president Holland America Line. "With Rotterdam 1873, we crafted a luxurious, small-batch coffee available only on our ships that will resonate with guests for its rich flavor and premium quality."
