Disney Cruise Line

M-I-C-K-E-Y. You know where we’re headed with this! Disney Cruise Line pulls out all the great plant-based eats when it’s time to hit the water. Fleetwide, start your day with plant-based scrambled eggs, breakfast patties, hash browns, and more. Head to Worlds of Marvel for Shiitake and Tofu Udon, to Arendelle for Red and Yellow Beetroot Carpaccio, and to Triton’s for Pumpkin Curry. Feeling like a quick-serve meal instead? Choose from Impossible burgers, Italian sausage, plant-based pizza, and beyond. Oh, and did we mention the Plant-Based Chicken Teriyaki with brown rice, broccoli, water chestnuts, and sesame?

Princess Cruises

Sometimes you’re exploring tasty dishes off the ship. But sometimes you’re checking out the buffet of offerings on that big boat. And you are wondering if there’s anything you can even eat. No worries, VegOut fam! Princess Cruises has got you covered whether you’re looking for soups, starters, or mains. Can you say Baja-Style Cauliflower Tacos? From Green Goddess Salad with Tofu to Penne with Red Pepper Pesto, you are sure to find something you’ll love on this vegan-friendly cruise line. For entrees, check out their Stir-Fried Portobellos with Soy-Maple Sauce, Plant-Based Shepherd’s Pie, and Walkaway Ratatouille.

Carnival

Eat well while cruising with Carnival! This cruise line implemented new vegan dining room menus fleetwide in 2023. For apps, try the plant-based Hawaiian Salmon Poke with edamame, mango, and cucumber. Or go for the Stuffed Mushrooms or Spaghetti Carbonara. We’re looking at the Eggplant Cutlet a la Parmigiana for mains with the Dutch Double Chocolate Pave as an end-of-meal treat. Build-your-own tacos at Blue Iguana. Or create your own pasta at The Captain’s Pasta Bar. And be sure to check out vegan sushi rolls, Grilled Tofu, and vegan-friendly fried rice at Bonsai Teppanyaki. Chefs at this spot cook the vegan meals first!
