Vegetarian options on Viking Mars cruise

[sandy-60]

We are taking a 30 day Mediterranean cruise on Viking Mars. 

We are vegetarians and do not eat fish and meat. We do eat dairy products.

We know we have many options for breakfast but it seems that for lunch/dinner menu for us has extremely limited dishes in "The Restaurant" which is a sit down dining option. 

Do anyone who are vegetarians and have sailed on Viking share their experience?

Is there any person on the ship we can contact ahead of time for our dietary needs this way they can stock up on different vegetarian meals for us.

Thank you!

Sign up for MyVikingJourney.com if you haven’t already. Under Onboard Experience, the tab for Preferences has Dietary Restrictions you can enter.

Thank you! 

We have already entered our preferences in dietary restrictions but want to make sure that they will have varied vegetarian dishes for our lunches and dinners.

Any other suggestions?

From our experience, the World Cafe buffet had many vegetarian and vegan options for lunch and dinner. I limit meat, and was able to find plenty to eat there. Manfredi’s Italian had vegetarian options too. You need a reservation, it can be booked on board or before the cruise on MVJ. We never ate at The Restaurant, but from previous cruises, the chefs are very accommodating to all diet requests. Speak to the restaurant manager on board.

I wrote about my experience on this thread: “Vegan dining on Viking Ocean”.  Much of it also applies to vegetarian dining.  You just need to let them know on board and they will help you find some wonderful choices.

Thank you all for your suggestions for our vegetarian dietary needs. We were hesitant about the 29 day Mediterranean cruise regarding our food options but now we are quite assured with your positive and helpful comments. 

Looking forward to our future trip!
