It’s a widely accepted notion that passengers will gain welcomed pounds during a week-long cruise. Yet the culinary team at Windstar Cruises has proven that packing for a cruise doesn’t have to include elastic waistbands. The cruise line is well-known for its focus on food —after all, it’s the official cruise line partner of the James Beard Foundation. But it’s Windstar’s most recent partnership with the National Health Association (NSA) that has passengers taking note. Windstar worked in tandem with the NSA to provide a new plant-based menu on board all six of the small ship line’s yachts. The offerings are not only plant-based, they’re also minimally processed and prepared without added salt, oil, or sugar, (plus they’re gluten-free).
