Plant power is setting sail in a big way.
Cruise ship menus, which once offered vegans little more than veggie burgers, are beginning to reflect the mainstream vegetarian and vegan trend found in restaurants ashore. More plant-based dishes are showing up in main dining rooms, buffet lines and specialty restaurants at sea.predicted 2019 would be the Year of the Vegan..
“We’re offering imaginative selections of bold, flavorful appetizers, entrees and desserts,” said Jason Montague, Regent Seven Seas Cruises president and chief executive, when announcing the menu changes. He bragged that the new menu “sets the highest benchmark in luxury cruising.” The list of new dishes is provocative: wild mushroom tart, falafel fritters, spiced potato and green pea samosas, and summer berry pudding chantilly. The new items reflect cuisines including Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Mexican. Other menu highlights include power bowls, hearty pastas and noodles, light salads and soups.
Not all cruise companies are in tune with the trend, of course, and it makes sense for vegans to contact their cruise line in advance to let them know their dining preferences. Another good idea: Watch for theme cruises that promote a vegan philosophy. In addition, check out the list below of lines that are vegetarian- and vegan- friendly, courtesy of
