Wellness and fitness are becoming more and more of a focus on ships. From activities to food, many lines are offering more healthy choices for vacationers interested in continuing their fitness regime on vacation.
Fitness, on a ship – you are kidding?!? You might be surprised at the fitness centers on almost all cruise ships and even river cruise lines. Don’t want to miss your yoga, Pilates, Zumba or other fitness class? Most have group classes on the ship.
And if the ellipticals, stationary bikes, punching bags, treadmills and other equipment aren’t what you are looking for but you still want to have some exercise on board, how about a ropes course or rock climbing? Basketball courts, jogging tracks, volleyball, dance classes, and surfing are available on some ships. Several of the smaller ships with sports platforms offer paddle-boarding, kayaking, and skiing.
River ships usually carry bikes for use on land. They also have fitness centers but not as extensive on an ocean ship. Some even have cruises focused on wellness and wellness.
Many excursions are more focused on wellness activities including hiking and biking. There is a wellness focused excursion on most ports of call.
So, don’t stop your fitness regime on board ship – pick the cruise ship that most closely fits your current activities and have a great vacation! You might just find that working out at sea is even more fun than working out at home.
