During your 7-day "Holistic Holiday at Sea™" you will dine in a continental atmosphere in the new MSC Poesia's two elegant dinning rooms the Le Fontana on deck 5 and Il Palladium on deck 6, staffed with attentive, well-trained waiters. Your food will be expertly prepared with care and attention to detail under the strict supervision of Mark Hanna, an internationally known natural food chef who has cooked at summer camps, yoga retreats, meditation centers and macrobiotic conferences around the world. Mark will personally design the menu and create the recipes. Meals will be non-dairy, vegan/natural cuisine and organic whenever possible. Desserts will be sugar and dairy-free and prepared by our own pastry chefs. Macrobiotic quality, organic/naturally fermented condiments such as miso, shoyu, umeboshi, and sun-dried sea salt will be used exclusively. Non-dairy and sugar-free beverages will be served. Fresh fish will be served on request and the ship's regular vegetarian and standard fare are optional on request.
We offer an optional diet for those working with a health provider or counselor on a specific health issue. This fare usually consists of specially prepared dishes with less salt and oil and no flour. Please tell us what your dietary needs are and we will do our best to accommodate you.
If you want to serve the delicious Holistic Holiday at Sea manu to your family and friends you can find our favorite cruise recipes in Greens and Grains on the Deep Blue Sea by Sandy Pukel and Mark Hanna.
