Princess Cruises is acknowledging the changing tastes and dietary needs of some guests by adding plant-based vegan menu items. The new choices will be available in the main dining rooms and are rolling out now across the fleet of 15 ships.
The vegan items are prepared without the use of any animal products, and include starters, salads, soups, pastas and main dishes.
The vegan menu options can be requested any time – prior to the cruise via your travel agent, the online Cruise Personalizer, by calling Princess or once onboard.
The offerings sound delicious, including for non-Vegans who want additional choices for their on-board meals.
Here are some vegan menu highlights –
