The Challenge of Taking a Cruise as a Vegetarian
Many vegetarians avoid taking cruises as vacations because of the limited cuisine options aboard most traditional cruise ships. In recent years, as vegetarian diets have grown in popularity, many cruise ships have expanded their menus to include significantly more vegetarian options, however, for many there is still not enough variety or quality to sustain an enjoyable weeklong vacation.
Try a True Vegetarian Cruise
To meet the needs of the growing vegetarian travel community A Taste of Health has created a true vegetarian cruise. On board the week-long vacation guests will enjoy three gourmet vegan vegetarian meals each day. A Taste of Health supplies a number of ingredients to the cruise kitchen that are not normally found on the cruise menu, and also brings several vegetarian chefs to help prepare the meals. All guests of the A Taste of Health Holistic Holiday at Sea program will have the option of choosing items from both the holistic menu and the standard cruise fare.
You Get More than Vegetarian Meals; this Cruise is Educational
The Holistic Holiday at Sea vegetarian cruise also provides over 120 classes, lectures and workshops on a wide variety of holistic topics. These classes are taught by leading authorities in wellness and alternative health from across the country and around the world.
Classes cover a number of topics including yoga, Pilates, massage, integrative medicine, meditation, and much more. A number of classes focus specifically on vegetarian and vegan diets. Instructors for these classes include Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, author and TV chef Christina Pirello, and well-known vegan cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz.
Vegetarian Cooking Classes
Christina Pirello and Isa Chandra Moskowitz as well as several other vegetarian chefs will be offering a full lineup of vegetarian cooking classes. On the 2008 cruise there were 15 cooking classes covering a wide variety of topics and culinary styles. The lineup for this year’s cruise will be even more exciting.
