A new sushi bar, Morimoto By Sea Sushi Bar, has begun rolling out on Holland America Line cruise ships after debuting on Nieuw Amsterdam in 2023.
Morimoto By Sea Sushi Bar is a specialty sushi bar that can seat 12 guests. After a successful debut on Nieuw Amsterdam, it will roll out to Rotterdam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and Eurodam.
The rollout to these four ships will completed by June 2025 and it’s an addition to the existing Morimoto By Sea stand-alone restaurant and pop-up experience.
