| HAL opens up Rudi’s

HOLLAND America Line (HAL) recently celebrated the opening of Rudi’s Sel de Mer restaurant on board its newly received Nieuw Statendam.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony was held and attended by the renowned chef himself (pictured right), who welcomed the first guests to the eatery bearing his name.

“Sel de Mer has garnered both guest and industry acclaim, and we’re excited to introduce the first restaurant to bear Master Chef Rudi Sodamin’s name,” said HAL President Orlando Ashford.

The restaurant serves classic French seafood dishes with a contemporary twist, with dishes including broiled lobster tail, whole dover sole meuniere, clams au beurre, duck Cassoulet and Salt Crust Baked Branzino.
