Cruises Are Good For Your Health

Rather than churn out cruise news in a rather bland way we've decided to discontinue the news in this format and use our cruise blog to cover any newsworthy events.


Cruises are good for your health
Cruises can be a good opportunity to take control of your weight and improve your fitness levels, an expert has claimed.

Speaking to USA Today, health guru Sandy Pukel said that a cruise does not have to revolve around food and that while a holiday is a good time to try new dishes, passengers should remember that they are "under no obligation to try all of them".

"Vow to use the stairs as much as possible; by doing so, all your organs – especially your heart, brain, and digestive system – will thank you for being a seafaring mountain goat. Hit the gym. Walk briskly. Run around the ship’s perimeter or do laps in its pool," he added.

At ports passengers can burn excess calories by walking as much as possible, curbing over-eating and cutting back on desserts, Mr Pukel noted.

In related news, holidaymakers can also improve their fitness by taking part in Royal Caribbean’s new Invitation to Dance show, which invites passengers to compete against each other in a Strictly Come Dancing-style competition.
