"The Holistic Holiday at Sea™ cruise is a transforming experience. It's an opportunity to expand your knowledge and eat perfectly healthy foods while relaxing in the beautiful Caribbean. It wouldn't surprise me if you came back from your vacation a different person."

Cruise Vacations for the Vegetarian Community

Nearly all cruise ships now offer several vegetarian options for cruise guests; however, most of these traditional cruises do not offer the quality or variety of vegetarian options needed to sustain an enjoyable weeklong vacation. To help solve the travel needs of the growing vegetarian community, Holistic Holiday at Sea, a non-profit educational foundation, has created a true vegetarian cruise vacation.

Three Gourmet Vegetarian Meals Each Day

Holistic Holiday at Sea vegetarian vacations offer three gourmet vegetarian meals each day. These meals are prepared using organic and specialty vegetarian items brought onboard by the program organizers, as well as some food items provided by the ship. Holistic Holiday at Sea also provides several well-known vegetarian chefs to help the cruise culinary staff prepare the holistic meals. Guests always have the options of sampling from both the holistic and standard cruise menus.

Learn While On Vacation

Our vegetarian vacations are relaxing, invigorating, and rejuvenating experiences, but they are also educational opportunities. In fact, the Holistic Holiday at Sea offers over 120 classes, workshops, and lectures on a wide variety of holistic topics and activities. Many of these lectures and workshops focus on vegetarian diets, while others feature holistic activities such as yoga and Pilates, or other alternative health topics.

Vegetarian Cooking Classes

Every year we offer a variety of vegetarian cooking classes taught by well-known authors and chefs from across the country and around the world. For the 2009 cruise the cooking class lineup includes Christina Pirello, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Mark Hanna, Jessica Porter, and several others. These chefs will offer over a dozen classes covering a number of culinary styles. These classes are a wonderful learning experience for seasoned vegetarians or those just beginning to experiment with healthier cuisine.
