Victoria Cruises Line is committed to providing maximum comfort and safety for all its passengers, with particular attention to individual dietary requirements. Whether you have food allergies, follow a special diet, or follow religious dietary guidelines, the following guide will help you prepare for your trip.

Special diet


Food allergies and food intolerances

The most common food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, milk, soy, wheat, and sesame. These allergens are responsible for the majority of food allergy cases, but it is important to remember that any food can trigger an allergic reaction.

Food allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly recognizes a food component as dangerous - usually protein - and initiates a defense reaction against it. The treatment of food allergy consists of avoiding the foods that cause the complaint.

Most common foods that cause food allergies: milk protein, eggs, peanuts, soy, walnuts, shellfish, strawberries.

Food intolerance is not a rapid response of the immune system to food, but other mechanisms are behind the symptoms. The most common food intolerance is lactose intolerance.

Symptoms of food intolerance mainly include nausea, stomach pain, bloating and other digestive symptoms.
