Sailing the high seas used to mean limited choices for vegetarians and vegans, but cruise lines today have stepped up their game. You’ll find that most cruise ships now offer a range of plant-based options, from hearty salads and creative appetizers to full vegan entrees in both the main dining room and buffet. Some lines even feature dedicated menus or themed nights focused on vegetarian and vegan cuisine, making it much easier to stick to your dietary preferences.
If you or your travel companions follow a meat-free lifestyle, planning ahead is still the best strategy. While cruise lines accommodate special diets, it’s helpful to inform them of your needs before setting sail. This allows chefs to better prepare for your requests, especially if you want something specific or are sailing on a smaller ship. Packing a few of your favorite snacks or protein bars gives you added peace of mind for shore excursions or late-night cravings.
Shore days can be both exciting and challenging for vegetarian and vegan cruisers. Research the destination’s food scene beforehand, and consider booking excursions that include plant-based-friendly meals. Use onboard resources like the cruise app or concierge to find out which restaurants offer extensive veggie options on land.
