2. How to Stay Fit and Healthy During
Your Cruise Holiday
∗ Your cruise holiday is a time to relax, indulge, revitalize,
reinvigorate and generally enjoy yourself. However, with
the vast array of 24 hour dining and drinking options
available on most modern cruise lines it is very easy to
overdo it, add a few pounds and feel a little unwell.
∗ In this presentation I would like to explore some of my top
tips to staying fit and healthy during a cruise holiday so that
you disembark feeling fitter and healthier than when you
embarked.

3. Use the Gym
∗ This is perhaps the most obvious tip on my list, take advantage of
the gym!
∗ Most cruise ships come with a fully equipped on-board gym that is
stocked with the latest work out machines. If you want to stay in
shape during your holiday make use of the gym.
∗ Whether you go every day of your cruise or only use it a couple of
times, a good workout in the gym will have you feeling fit and
healthy.
∗ If you don’t enjoy working out in the gym many cruise lines offer
private workouts in the privacy of your own cabin via the TV.

4. Enjoy Active Excursions
∗ Cruises these days come with a wide range of different
excursions designed to let you fully explore every port
of call on your cruise.
∗ Don’t just lounge about on-board when your ship pulls
into port, get off and explore with active excursions
such as kayaking, cycle tours, snorkelling or scuba
diving.

5. Play Sports
∗ Cruise ships are a haven for sports fanatics! Many
modern cruise ships have extensive sporting facilities
on-board so you can enjoy a game of your favourite
sport.
∗ Many cruise ships include facilities for tennis,
basketball, soccer, ice skating and boxing.
∗ Playing sports is a fantastic way to burn off a few
pounds while having fun at the same time.

6. Go Easy at the Buffet
∗ It is easy to go overboard, excuse the pun, at the buffet on a
cruise ship with the vast selection of different foods
available.
∗ However, usually one is sufficient for you to have a nice
breakfast, lunch or dinner.
∗ Whilst enjoying the buffet remember to take your time when
eating. If you eat quickly you won’t feel full till 15-20
minutes after you began which could lead to overeating.
∗ The food is delicious, take your time and savour every
mouthful.

7. Unwind in the Spa
∗ Remember you are on holiday and one of the main aims of
a holiday is to relax and unwind.
∗ While on your cruise head to the on-board spa for a range
of spa treatments including massages, acupuncture and
facials.
∗ These will relax, invigorate and rejuvenate you making you
feel happier and healthier.
