Cruise holidays for the active - bring your healthy lifestyle on holiday

Even if you're on holiday, you may still want to be active. Cruise ships have sports activities for everyone, whether you're an everyday exerciser or an elite athlete looking to keep fit on holiday. Whether you want to work out seriously or just be active for fun, cruise ships have a wide range of activities to keep you sweating and smiling.

You can try your hand on the climbing wall, challenge your travelling companion in the boxing ring, go ice skating or take part in a game of badminton, basketball, football, squash, tennis or volleyball on one of the ship's many sports courts. There's even the option to play a game of mini golf or strike a strike at sea in the bowling alley on some ships.

Skilled instructors welcome active travellers in the fitness centre with a wide range of modern exercise equipment. Here you can do pilates, yoga, crossfit or stimulate every muscle in your body on the weight bench, treadmill or exercise bike - all with a sea view.

Once you've worked up a sweat, you can exhale and let your heart rate drop as your gaze wanders to the horizon. Here you're guaranteed to experience an amazing sense of calm and a heavenly feeling of well-being.

Of course, it's not only on the ship that you can stay active. You can go snorkelling at the beautiful coral reefs, learn to surf, play golf at the local courses, go hiking in the mountains or explore the many exciting port cities where the ships dock.

Many of the above facilities are common to all cruise ships, but no two cruise ships are the same. That's why we're here to help active travellers find the right cruise.
