Jacques Torres Chocodam

2022 / 2024

Overview

In a celebration of shared European roots and exceptional craftsmanship, Holland America Line and Lindt Chocolate came together to create a landmark experience. The Chocodam, a 6-foot model of the Rotterdam, Holland America Line’s flagship, was meticulously built from Lindt chocolate by the legendary Jacques Torres alongside Lindt chocolatier Ann Szasa. Unveiled just before World Chocolate Day, this collaboration highlighted the union of two storied brands and offered a unique showcase of their excellence and creative vision.

Combining three distinct visual elements into one cohesive creation was no small feat, but our team dove deep into this exquisite creation, navigating the sweet currents of imagination.
