River cruise operator AmaWaterways has unveiled an extensive selection of enhanced menu offerings in response to guests’ increasing demands for vegan and plant-based offerings.

Guided by AmaWaterways’ Co-Founder and Executive Vice President Kristin Karst, a passionate believer that “plant-based meals are the future,” the curated offerings bring guests a visually stunning and palate-pleasing culinary experience.

Surrounded by the awe-inspiring scenery of the world’s most beautiful rivers, AmaWaterway’s new menu is now available at the Main Restaurant across the cruise line’s fleet of award-winning ships, with variations possible among each fleet.

Highlights of the new offerings include appetizers such as oven-roasted eggplant bruschetta with herbs, garlic chickpeas bruschetta and a touch of balsamic.

Main courses offer guests the option to savor such entrees as slow-braised vegetable stew featuring portobello mushrooms, carrots and cauliflower or indulge in grilled cauliflower and sweet potato complemented by lemon salsa verde, cherry tomatoes, beans and broccoli.

To top off their meal, diners can enjoy tempting desserts such as nut-crusted pumpkin mousse infused with dates for a sweet and satisfying finish.

Celebrated for its unwavering commitment to culinary excellence and innovation, AmaWaterways continues to lead the way in staying attuned to emerging trends and the evolving preferences of its discerning travelers.
