Join Dr. Neal Barnard on the Holistic Holiday at Sea

The Holistic Holiday at Sea is not just a tropical get-away, it’s a vacation for the mind, body, and spirit—and you are invited. Join PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., and other health experts for this seven-night cruise in the Caribbean in March.

Chosen by National Geographic Traveler as “one of the 100 best worldwide vacations to enrich your life,” this cruise features presentations from health professionals, researchers, yoga instructors, and vegan chefs. Dr. Barnard will give talks about food ethics, eating for cancer and diabetes prevention, and improving government nutrition policies.

Diners will experience delicious vegan cuisine, such as seitan paella, shiitake pâté, and blueberry peach crumble, created by internationally known natural food chef Mark Hanna. Meals are prepared following macrobiotic principles of balance and healthfulness.

While there is plenty to experience onboard, the ship makes four stops at exciting ports of call: Key West, Fla., the Cayman Islands, Roatan, Honduras, and Cozumel, Mexico. Rates for the March 1-8, 2009, cruise include all the presentations, plus yoga and meditation classes, cooking classes, workshops, and use of the health club.
