(6:30 p.m. EDT) – The first-ever 100% gluten-free voyage is scheduled to set sail in 2028.
Celiac Cruise announced that the sailing will take place from May 31 to June 12, 2028 aboard Oceania Vista. The 12-day roundtrip from Southampton will visit ports across England, Ireland and Scotland.
"With Celiac Disease impacting two immediate family members, it brings me great joy on both a personal and professional level that we are able to host the largest-ever completely gluten-free cruise aboard the Oceania Vista, and first-of-its-kind to the British Isles," says Maureen Basye, Co-Founder of Celiac Cruise. "Giving the Celiac and broader gluten-free communities a means to travel completely worry-free and let vacation feel exactly how it's supposed to – easy – is our entire purpose at Celiac Cruise."
Since its inception in 2018, Celiac Cruise works with the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) to ensure passengers with celiac disease and other gluten-related conditions are able to cruise worry-free. According to organization, more than 30,000 crew members across Oceania Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and AmaWaterways have completed specialized education and training focused on celiac disease and gluten-free safety protocols to eliminate risks of cross-contact and contamination.
Celiac Cruise also highlighted that, in addition to crew member training, every food label will be individually reviewed and vetted against the menus aboard the Oceania Vista. Detailed galley walkthroughs and venue evaluations will also be conducted to ensure gluten-free safety and compliance.
"Culinary excellence has been at the heart of Oceania Cruises from day one, and ensuring every guest can experience it fully, regardless of dietary need, is essential to that promise," says Nathan Hickman, SVP and chief sales officer for Oceania Cruises. "While Oceania Cruises has long offered gluten-free options across our fleet, working with the Celiac Cruise team deepened our understanding of the celiac community and the unmet need for a truly seamless travel experience. Their deep passion and expertise helped us design and to ultimately deliver what will be a first-of-its-kind, fully dedicated gluten-free voyage."
