Regent Seven Seas Cruises is to introduce more than 200 gourmet plant-based breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert items across its fleet from 1 October 2019.
New dishes will showcase a range of cuisines including Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, Malaysian, and more. They have been designed to cater for the growing number of luxury travellers who subscribe to vegan or vegetarian lifestyles, or who wish to enjoy more plant-based meals.
“For luxury travellers who are increasingly adding more plant-based cuisine to their meals, we’re offering even more imaginative selections of bold, flavourful appetisers, entrees and desserts, with ‘craveable’ tastes and mouth-watering presentations,” said Jason Montague, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ president and CEO. “Our expanded plant-based cuisine sets the highest benchmark in luxury cruising.”
The offerings were developed by Regent’s culinary leadership team under the direction of Bernhard Klotz, the line’s vice president of Food and Beverage. Chef, culinary instructor and author Christophe Berg also assisted with the new menus.
“Plant-based cuisine appeals to a broad audience of luxury travellers,” Klotz explained. “This is an emerging, modern speciality cuisine that allows our guests to enjoy more flavourful foods that are in harmony with their current tastes and pushes the boundaries on Regent’s acclaimed culinary creativity and imagination.”
