Now you can have the Le Cirque experience on the water. Holland America Line has partnered with Le Cirque restaurant to offer "An Evening at Le Cirque" in the Pinnacle Grill aboard its fleet of 15 ships. Holland America Line's Master Chef Rudi Sodamin is working with Le Cirque's Executive Chef Craig Hopson to re-create the Manhattan eatery's dining experience on board, from serving the cuisine on the distinctive orange-banded Le Cirque china to featuring the restaurant's famous creme brulee and Lobster Salad "Le Cirque."

On just about every voyage, the Pinnacle Grill will be transformed for at least one night into a Le Cirque–like atmosphere. On those evenings, menu offerings, wine selections, table decorations and the restaurant setting will resemble authentic Le Cirque dining experience. Reservations can be made for "An Evening at Le Cirque in the Pinnacle Grill" for a charge. The partnership also includes special Le Cirque cooking demonstrations in the on-board Culinary Arts Center.
