Vegan vacations are not confined solely to land-based tours. Australia’s first plant-based cruise has just been announced, and in 2017 the world’s first all-vegan cruise took place from London to Norway, carrying 1,881 guests from 34 countries. This was organized by German company Vegan Travel, which specializes in river and ocean cruises.
Everything on board Vegan Travel’s Emerald Dawn ship was 100% plant-based – not just the food, but also the toiletries in the bathrooms, and even the ‘leather’ on the seats. And after half a decade of spending my holidays constantly repeating ‘no milk please’, ‘I’ll have the veggie full English without the Quorn sausages, eggs or butter’ and ‘is this made with lard?’, I’ll admit I went a bit hysterical with joy.
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.
While cruises often have a reputation as a place where travellers can relax and indulge – frequently at a well-stocked buffet – a new cruise is focused on giving vegans a healthy and plant-based trip through the fjords of Norway.
Eine vegane Kreuzfahrt durch die Fjord-Landschaft von Feuerland an der Südspitze Südamerikas? Als Dirk Bocklage, Inhaber des auf vegane Kreuzfahrten spezialisierten Reiseveranstalters Vegan Travel, mich mit dieser Idee konfrontierte, waren Ungläubigkeit und Zweifel die natürliche Reaktion. Flüge an Ende der Welt, eine Kreuzfahrt, und das auch noch vegan im Fleischesser-Land Chile? Kann das was werden, muss das sein?
Im Juli 2019 reisten über 800 Personen aus aller Welt an Bord der Vasco da Gama 11 Tage von Deutschland über Estland und Russland bis nach Schweden. Milde Temperaturen, wundervolle Städtetouren und exzellentes pflanzliches Essen machten de Kreuzfahrt auf der Ostsee zu einem großartigen Erlebnis.
Es scheint ein Gegensatz zu sein: vegane Kreuzfahrten. Die Vegan Travel UG aus Münster veranstaltet solche Reisen. Das Unternehmen wurde 2013 gegründet. „Es war lange sehr schwierig für vegan lebende Menschen oder solche, die an einer gesunden Lebensweise interessiert sind, vernünftig Urlaub zu machen. Diese Nische haben wir versucht zu schließen“, sagt Geschäftsführer und Gründer Dirk Bocklage.
