Inside TikTok’s ‘The Ultimate World Cruise’: What Are People Eating?

The Royal Caribbean Ultimate World Cruise has become a TikTok sensation, with social media obsessed with what passengers are eating on the nine-month-long global expedition. While most cruise menus are meat-heavy, there are increasing plant-based options available for vegans on board. The Serenade of the Seas ship offers vegan choices such as Avocado and Melon Salad, Herb-Crusted Stuffed Portobello Mushroom, and more, although meat and dairy options still dominate the menus.

Cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Carnival are embracing more vegan options on their ships, with dedicated vegan menus available upon request. Passengers can now enjoy dishes like vegan spaghetti bolognese and toffee cheesecake. With the rise in popularity of plant-based diets, cruise companies are responding to meet the dietary preferences of their guests, ensuring that vegans on board won't go hungry.
