Oceania Cruises has announced the launch of the largest selection of vegan menus. The cruise line will be the only one to offer an extensive bar of cold-pressed natural juices and vegan smoothies. The juice and smoothie bar is currently available on board the Marina and Riviera, and vegan menus are available on all six Oceania Cruises ships: Regatta, Insignia, Nautica, Marina, Riviera, and Sirena. This new vegan cuisine joins the wide range of vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher already offered on board. In total, passengers can enjoy more than 250 dishes, including appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, and desserts.
“We are thrilled to expand our culinary offerings to cater to an even wider range of tastes. This provides our guests with diverse options to suit all wellness-focused lifestyles,” said Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises. “Whether guests are looking for an invigorating start to the day or a refreshing lunch to go, the fresh juice and smoothie bar will be the perfect, healthier choice.”.
Starting with breakfast, passengers can choose from five different dishes and four sides. Succulent options like vegan Spanish omelet with potato, onion, and tofu; vanilla waffle with fresh berries; apricot and pistachio muffins; and cream of wheat or oatmeal served with cinnamon, organic sugar, and walnuts are perfect for starting the day. Sides include grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, vegan sausages, and Lyonnaise potatoes.
At lunch, guests can enjoy a Tuscan-style bean soup with garlic croutons, an Italian salad with assorted vegetables, roasted peppers and toasted garlic bread, a succulent roll filled with tofu, spinach and capers served with pasta and olive sauce and topped off with a vegan Italian ricotta cake with vanilla and raspberry sauce.
And for dinner the offer also consists of five courses, including quinoa salad and vegetable tartare; truffle cream with parsnip sauce with chopped tarragon; vegetarian Thai red curry with jasmine rice and for dessert strawberry and biscuit cake with passion fruit cream and strawberries.
The fresh juice and smoothie bar is located on the pool deck next to the Waves Grill and serves fresh, cold-pressed juices and vegan smoothies from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Options include the Rise & Shine juice, Coco Island juice, Tropical Green smoothie, Sweet Green juice, Yellow Sunshine smoothie, Cacao Joy smoothie, Cold Brew latte, Acai Berry bowl, and Chia Cashew yogurt bowl.
