Vegan travellers can savour the Norwegian coast as well as “vegan fine dining” on a new cruise purporting to be the world’s first all-vegan ocean cruise from this month.

Passengers on new seven-night cruise, launched by Cruise and Maritime Voyages (CMV) and tour operator Vegan Travel, can enjoy an 100 per cent vegan menu, offering everything from vegan breakfast buffets and four- to five-course lunches/dinners to vegan wines, cocktails and a range of dishes inspired by the regions visited on the cruise itinerary, which includes the Norwegian fjords, Flam and Bergen, Norway’s popular cruise port.

The meat-free cruise also caters to those following a raw, gluten-free or macrobiotic diet (which also avoids animal products and refined foods), while its cabins will come with “high end” vegan and organic toiletries, including shampoo, shower gel and hand soap, on board the Columbus, CMV’s newest cruise ship which had its maiden sailing this July.

Guests can choose from a host of vegan-themed activities, such as vegan toothpaste-making and vegan cheese-making and talks from speakers including television presenter Wendy Turner Webster (from Channel 4’s Absolutely Animals and Pet Rescue), Dr Michael Greger (New York Times best-selling author of How Not to Die), Harvard-educated psychologist Melanie Joy and dietician Julieanna Hever.

A wellness programme, featuring yoga and pilates sessions, will also be available to passengers, alongside the vegan offerings. Children will be welcome on board the ship (pictured further below), which normally operates as an adult-only vessel, for this journey.

While CMV’s latest cruise claims to be the first of its kind, Holland America Line is also hosting a vegan cruise in the Mexican Riviera, which is said to feature “the best vegan menu on the high seas” and “vegan shore excursions, vegan private parties and social events”.

Several river cruises with vegan options this year include a journey from Paris to Normandy on the Seine with Tauck in October and a New Year's cruise on the Douro with Croisi Europe in December.

Earlier this year, Oceania Cruises unveiled a new vegan menu, offering more than 250 vegan dishes on board its fleet of six ships.
