10 Tips to Keep Active on a Cruise Ship

1. Healthy Eating While Traveling

While this may seem obvious, it’s often easier said than done. This is your vacation, so don’t feel like you have to miss out on that creamy prawn fettuccine, tender BBQ ribs, or the delectable chocolate fondue you’re craving. Remember, though, to consider some healthier options too! Occasionally swap a heavy meal for some fresh seafood at Ocean Blue, lean meats at Cagney's Steakhouse, or the plentiful crisp garden salads and fresh fruit available at the buffets.

2. Use The Stairs

Forget the stair master and take real stairs! With plenty of activities happening across the ship and multiple decks to explore, using the stairs can provide a solid workout. It’s not only beneficial for your fitness, but you’ll also avoid the wait for the elevator.

3. Gym & Fitness Sessions

When you’re ready to elevate your heart rate, our top-notch gyms and invigorating fitness classes will get you feeling energized. If you prefer to work out alone, consider going early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid crowds. For those who enjoy group classes, options like outdoor yoga, Pilates, spin, Zumba, and body sculpt boot camp are just a few to explore. Class schedules will be provided in your Freestyle Daily.

4. Wellness Workshops

Wellness workshops are a fantastic way to bridge the time between lounging by the pool and your dinner plans. Led by inspiring and knowledgeable trainers, these small to medium-sized groups offer personalized attention without the pressure to purchase anything, unlike many on-land seminars. Gain valuable insights from topics like "boosting your metabolism" or "detoxifying your body" and use those lessons during your cruise. Refer to your Freestyle Daily to find out what’s available during your trip.

5. Outdoor Running Track

Nothing compares to a rejuvenating outdoor run, especially when it comes with stunning ocean views and refreshing sea breezes. Head over to our running track where you can run, jog, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll.

6. Pickleball Courts at The Stadium

The running track isn’t the only spot for staying active. One of the top places to get your exercise on Dinogo Prima or Dinogo Viva is The Stadium. Enjoy a variety of games like pickleball, subsoccer, shuffleboard, and our unique takes on ping pong and foosball.

7. Neon Dance Party

Not only is the Glow Party the liveliest on the ocean, but it’s also a fantastic way to burn calories! With some of the best DJs spinning tunes, it’s an exciting opportunity to get your heart racing while showcasing your best dance moves. Be sure to check your Freestyle Daily for additional events!

8. Sports Arena

Reach new heights at our Sports Complex. Featuring a basketball court, a multi-level Ropes Course, a Mini Golf area, and my personal favorite, The Plank (where you can step 8 feet off the edge of the ship). The Sports Complex is an excellent way to get moving.

9. Water Slides at the Aqua Park

While this may not be a major calorie burner, the thrill and all those steps to the top will certainly get your blood pumping. If you're an adrenaline junkie, try the Free Fall on our Breakaway and Breakaway Plus class ships. Known as the fastest waterslide at sea, it will send you plummeting down with 4g forces.

10. Shore Excursions

Extend your active lifestyle from the ship to the shore. Shore Excursions offer a fantastic way to discover our ports while keeping you on the move. Whether it’s an off-road ATV adventure, beach horseback riding, walking tours of historic cities, or snorkeling with stingrays, your next cruise holiday is filled with endless possibilities.
