Cruise lovers have a saying

Cruise lovers have a saying – they arrive at their ship as passengers, but come off as cargo, based on how much food they've eaten! It’s certainly true that with fizzy drinks on constant call, rich puddings and escalators to get you around the ship most passengers will pile on the pounds.

A little discipline certainly helps – all cruise lines have healthy menu options and gyms, let alone an almost unlimited menu of fitness classes. Then there are the professional trainers whose entire desire is to help passengers deal with over-indulgence and learn new fitness regimes that will keep them fit.

On a Princess Cruises all passengers are offeedr fitness programmes and gym supervision, including personal training and health and nutrition seminars along with classes such as Step Xpress, Total Body Conditioning, yoga, Pilates, pulse cycling, and power walking. More advanced, and expensive, options are one-on-one training which can be booked for the same time every day and body composition analysis to help you understand your weight gain risks and best exercise options. Restaurants offer a diverse selection menu selections to help you keep the weight off.
