Fitness at Sea
CRUISE lines are making waves
with their fitness facilities, spas
and wellness programs that rival
land-based hotels and resorts.
Whilst a number of cruise lines
have claimed the largest, most
elaborate (or best view) workout
space at sea, the new benchmark
in the fitness stakes is now
markedly higher with some lines
partnering with high-profile land-
based fitness specialists.
This means guests can not only
maintain their exercise routines
whilst on board, they can also try
out the latest fitness trends using
the most advanced equipment.
Fitness classes have been a
mainstay of cruising for many
years – primarily to ease guilty
consciences about those midnight
dessert buffets! However todays
classes at sea can keep even the
most devoted fitness buff happy.
In many cases, cruise lines
are introducing customised
fitness programs that guests can
undertake onboard (under the
guidance of an instructor) then
take ashore to continue at home.
Guests that are devoted to
pilates and yoga will find plenty of
options on cruise ships today and
to top this off, the spas on board
also continue to evolve, further
highlighting the focus on health
and well-being whilst cruising.
I just hope writing and reading
about on board fitness is sufficient
to keep those extra kilos away on
my next cruise!
