Seven Exciting Menu Rotations are Now Available in Main Dining Rooms Across the Fleet

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises, renowned for its commitment to culinary excellence and world-class hospitality, has embarked on a new culinary journey to meet the evolving tastes and dietary needs of its guests. In response to a surging demand for plant-based cuisine, Princess Cruises is introducing a series of creatively crafted vegan menus, enhancing the dining experience for all onboard.
