Excercising Healthy Options at Sea Exercising Healthy Options at Sea More and more people who are considering joining a gym or visiting a spa are testing the waters at sea on a cruise. And often, the metamorphosis takes only a few days.
Many ships also offer running tracks or wrap-around promenade decks for walking or jogging.
To encourage passengers to get involved, some cruise lines even offer rewards for participation. These points can be redeemed at the end of the cruise for a ShipShape T-shirt, jacket, or other item. Fitness centers such as Carnival Cruise Line's Nautica Spa and Disney Cruise Line's Vista Spa are located high atop the ship and offer sweeping views of the sea while passengers work out on the latest treadmills, stationary bikes, and stair climbers. Both lines also offer a more relaxing, pampering agenda complete with bubbling whirlpool spas, saunas, and other body rejuvenating services. Spa treatments aboard a cruise ship enhance the feeling of total and complete relaxation that comes with a vacation at sea.
