Holistic Vegan, Vegetarian, and Yoga Cruises
"The 'Voyage to Well Being' was such an inspiring vacation that I signed up my entire family for the next year before I left the ship! What a fantastic way to combine enlightening seminars with interesting ports of call while avoiding the hassles of transportation and the search for quality food. And as an added bonus--the opportunity to form friendships for a lifetime!"

Need to find a roommate? The rate for single occupancy is approximately 1.5 times the double occupancy rate. If you do not want to room alone, it may be possible to find a compatible roommate and pay the double occupancy rate. However, this may take some flexibility on your part regarding the room category you choose. For detailed information please call Jan at 828-749-9537.

Excursions
MSC offers a variety of shore excursions in the ports of call. You will find a wide choice of relaxing, natural and cultural tours suitable for older and younger guests, as well as more active and sports-oriented excursions for those who prefer a little more adventure.

Please check back in late summer. Some popular excursions fill up quickly, so we recommend that you reserve your excursions prior to sailing.
