CRUISING has never been more popular and one element of a holiday afloat is the incredible range of choices on a ship's menu.

This month the world's newest luxury cruise ship, Eurodam, arrives in Southampton promising a dining experience that combines both innovative dishes, created exclusively by the vessel's top chefs, together with a wide range of different restaurants.

Eurodam will also have a Culinery Arts Centre where guests will have the opportunity to watch demonstrations as well as take part in handson classes conducted by top chefs, wine experts, and leading cookbook authors. From a casual bite poolside to a formal five-course affair in Eurodam's classic main dining room, passengers will be served the freshest produce together with the best quality meat and seafood.

Eurodam's owners, Holland America Line, have also introduced "As You Wish'' dining which provides completely flexible option together with the traditional pre-set seating and meal-times. Each day of the cruise, one level of the two-tiered restaurant will be reserved for passengers wanting to choose when they would like to eat while the other section of the dining room will host early and main seating for dinner.

But this is just two of Eurodam's many dining options which also include 24-hour a day room service, special children's menus in the Lido and Terrace Grill, afternoon tea, an ice cream bar, Explorations Café serving espresso and pastries, complimentary hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, hand-dipped chocolates in the Explorer's Lounge after dinner and a late-night buffet.

Eurodam's Tamarind Restaurant offers pan-Asian food and is located on the uppermost deck where up 144 diners can look out over stunning views, port and starboard.

Named after the famous 18th century Venetian artist, the ship's Canaletto Restaurant will serve classic Italian fare with tableside service at dinner.

Eurodam is due on Friday, June 27. After the official naming ceremony in Rotterdam the vessel will spend the summer cruising from Copenhagen, then cross the Atlantic to Canada & New England for a series of autumn voyages, before wintering in the Caribbean.
