In this episode we talk about our latest cruise on Iona with P&O cruises. We cruised for 7 nights from Southampton to the Norwegian fjords, and in this podcast we give our top tips about living life on board as a vegan.

Generally speaking we found life on board ship as a vegan to be a fantastic experience, the crew were very attentive (although sometimes not understanding what vegan was) and quickly learnt our preferences when we stuck to the same restaurant.
The canteen style restaurant was a little bit more hit and miss, particularly with other guests mixing tongs if vegan options like chips were put next to burgers, sausages and bacon, although we did mention this to the crew. On a few occasions they also served a big dish of fries but mixed in cheese toasted sandwiches, again contaminating the fries so we couldn't have them.
Being vocal, letting the crew know your preferences and then actively pre-booking and asking for meals to be modified we found was a great way to enjoy a cruise as a vegan.
