Tina Fox, previously CEO of the Society, invites vegetarians to join her aboard The Black Watch, for a gourmet vegetarian experience. Aboard this truly world-class cruise ship, guests will feel a warm welcome from the first moment. The ship has large windows, elegant décor, broad teak decks, generous promenades, bright, unconfined public areas and roomy cabins (over 90% of them offering sea view).With just 435 cabins she is a vessel designed with an exceptionally generous ratio of ship to passenger and it is always easy to find a quiet corner.

Tina has got together with Fred Olsen and Didsbury Travel Worldchoice to arrange some special benefits for vegetarians:

• gourmet vegetarian dinner menu served every night in a reserved area *
• Tina will personally escort this cruise and ensure that all guests are adequately catered for
• £100 per cabin to spend on board
• 47.5% discount on brochure prices
• free car parking at Dover or National Express Coach

*Provided there is a minimum of 30 passengers, Fred Olsen Cruises will arrange for each night of the cruise a special menu including vegan options, overseen personally by Tina Fox in place of the normal two vegetarian choices.

Tina will not be receiving any payment for this project; as many members know she is very interested in ensuring that vegetarians travelling receive the same benefits as any other passenger or holidaymaker and she hopes to develop this area of interest in her new found leisure time. Although this is an independently organised cruise, a generous donation will be paid to The Vegetarian Society by Didsbury Travel Worldchoice for every booking made.

HELSINKI, FINLAND
Finland's capital since 1812, stately Helsinki is a city of intriguing contrasts; from handsome and imposing neoclassical buildings and museums to lively shopping esplanades and the colourful Kauppatori produce and craft market.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Elegant St. Petersburg was Tsar Peter the Great's 'Window on the West', the grandeur of whose baroque and neoclassical buildings, many reflected in the city's network of waterways, is rivalled only by the riches of its priceless art treasures.

GDYNIA, POLAND
The Baltic port for the old Hanseatic city of Gdansk – formerly known as Danzig, and today with its place in history secured as the cradle of Poland's Solidarity movement.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
Explore the beautiful settings of historic Christianborg and Amelienborg Palaces, colourful pavement cafes, quayside restaurants and bars, the fun-filled Tivoli Gardens – and, of course, look out for the 'Little Mermaid'.

OSLO, NORWAY
Tucked into its own fjord and set at the water's edge, Norway's lively capital is a small and eminently walkable city with engaging mix of old and new, and graced by broad avenues, parks and elegant neo-classical buildings.
