MIAMI, Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line
will introduce its first-ever teppanyaki dining venue when the new 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon debuts in Europe in spring 2018.
Teppanyaki is a traditional method of Japanese cooking whose name is derived from the combination of the words "teppan" or
iron plate with "yaki" meaning grilled or pan-fried. Teppanyaki combines ancient Japanese cooking techniques with modern
performance art to create a feast that is both culinary and visual.
Located on Carnival Horizon's Promenade Deck, Bonsai Teppanyaki will offer a wide-ranging menu with authentic delicacies from the Far East prepared by
highly skilled chefs who will create tantalizing dishes on custom-built stations that form the center of the venue's two
eight-seat tables.
In keeping with Carnival's atmosphere of spirited and participatory fun, dinner at Bonsai Teppanyaki will be an unforgettable
culinary experience with chefs engaging with diners and dazzling them with their amazing knife skills and other performance
elements.
"Carnival is all about providing our guests with a wide array of choices and that, of course, includes a seemingly endless
array of delicious culinary options," said Christine Duffy, Carnival's president. "The new
Bonsai Teppanyaki promises to be a wonderful addition to the Carnival Horizon, offering delectable cuisine from the Far East
enhanced by show-stopping performances by our talented and engaging chefs," she added.
At the reservations-recommended restaurant, diners begin their meal with samplings of five tempting appetizers - Miso
Soup; Kabuki Salad with Ginger Dressing; Teppanyaki Shrimp with Soy Butter and Salsa Vinaigrette; Pork Belly Yakitori with
Sesame Asparagus Fries and Seaweed Salad; and Spicy Tuna on the Rocks with Onion Sesame Sauce and Den Miso.
Guests can then choose from a variety of tantalizing entrees: Lobster Tail with Yuzu Cream and Citrus Kosho; Filet
Mignon with Truffle Salt, Garlic Chips and Champagne Cognac Flambé; Teriyaki Salmon with Savory and Sweet Teriyaki Glaze;
Black Cod with Soy Reduction; Shrimp with Young Lettuce and Gyukuro Tea; Shichimi Spiced Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki
Sauce; and Grilled Tofu with Vegetables, Yaki Udon, and Teriyaki Anticucho Sauce.
Four different combination dinners are available, including filet mignon/shrimp, shrimp/spiced grilled chicken, filet
mignon/teriyaki salmon, and filet mignon/lobster tail. Meals end on a sweet note with a Chocolate Bento Box with Green Tea Ice Cream.
All dishes include fried rice and stir-fried vegetables. Prices for Bonsai Teppanyaki are on a per-person basis and include
all appetizer selections, entrée and dessert. The restaurant will be open for lunch on sea days and for dinner every night
of the cruise.
The new teppanyaki venue will be located within Carnival Horizon's stand-alone Bonsai Sushi restaurant that will serve
traditional sushi, sashimi, rolls and "bento ships" on an a la carte basis. It's one of dozens of different dining and
beverage venues on board offering a wide range of international cuisines. These include Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian
restaurant, the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Guy's Burger Joint developed in tandem with Food Network star Guy Fieri, the Mexican-themed themed BlueIguana Cantina serving authentic tacos and burritos, the 24-hour
Pizza Pirate, and the New England-inspired Seafood Shack.
Carnival Horizon will also be the first ship to feature a Dr. Seuss-themed water park as well as a groundbreaking
bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction called SkyRide, and an IMAX Theatre.
A wide range of accommodations will also be offered, including spa cabins with exclusive privileges at the luxurious Cloud 9
Spa, extra-roomy staterooms in Family Harbor, and tropics-inspired Havana staterooms and suites
with exclusive daytime access to a Cuban-themed bar and pool.
Carnival Horizon is scheduled to make its maiden voyage April 2, 2018, with a 13-day
Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona – the first of four round-trip departures from that
port. Carnival Horizon will reposition to the U.S. with a 14-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Barcelona to New York May 9-23,
2018.
Following its summer schedule of four-day Bermuda and eight-day Caribbean departures from the Big Apple, Carnival Horizon will shift to Miami and kick off a year-round schedule of six- and eight-day Caribbean
cruises beginning Sept. 22, 2018. Carnival Horizon will also offer a special two-day cruise to
Nassau from Miami Sept. 20-22,
2018.
