Can you cruise vegan on Virgin Voyages: Scarlet Lady food review

Earlier in 2020 Virgin Voyages released some menu teasers from their first ship, the Scarlet Lady (see my last post). That made vegan cruisers wonder about actual meal provision onboard. But worry not, Jenni from CruiseMummy blog has kindly reviewed Scarlet Lady’s vegan offering during a ship visit day. See how Jenni got on in this kind guest post of hers. The menus are all very quirky and different. See for yourself if Virgin Voyages and their sister ships Valiant and Scarlet Lady are for you. Vegan options they do provide, but what do you think of the options available?

Vegan food on Marella Cruises: how does the Explorer cater?

Looking for your first cruise as a vegan? You should really look at Marella Cruises. Apart from an all-vegan charter cruise I did in 2018, I have never had it as easy as I did on my Marella Explorer cruise. Check out the vegan food menu options… in the dining room, buffet and specialty restaurants. I was so impressed wiht my options, as two years previous our experience onboard DIscovery 2 wasn’t that great. But just like UK high street has changed and improved their offering, so has Marella Cruises. See how well they cater these days!

Virgin Voyages – The world’s most sustainable cruise line?

All cruise lines are making advances in sustainability but as Virgin Voyages launches Scarlet Lady in 2020, there won’t be a cruise ship as eco-friendly and ethically minded out there as her. You could say that Scarlet Lady and her sister Valiant Lady will be the most sustainable cruise ships out on the oceans. The two sisters will feature exciting new sustainable technology and brand partnerships to make these two new ships the greenest of cruise vessels. Much has already been said about the trendy design features and the nontraditional ways of Virgin Voyages. But do discover how Richard Branson & his team are making cruising fresh, fun yet sustainable.
