From Zumba To Aqua-Cycling: Why Cruising Keeps You Fit

Cruising and fitness are usually not found in the same sentence. Until now.  People want to travel the world, meet new people, sample some exotic foods, get away and not have to wonder why their clothes don't fit anymore once they get back home. The great thing is that most cruise lines are understanding more and more that a cruise vacation isn't code word for 'the great couch potato gathering.'

Cruise lines are providing some really cool and fun options to stay fit on board. In fact, MSC Divina has a huge fitness center fully-equipped with elliptical machines, treadmills, cycling bikes, Aqua-Cycling classes, free weights and there's even a "Power Walking Track" that hugs the entire ship.

There's also an aerobics room for group classes like Zumba and yoga. And with personal training sessions offered on board, you don't even miss out on daily workouts.  Like any cruise, you want to try new things. Well, MSC Divina is the only cruise ship at sea that offers Aqua Cycling on board. Imagine the same electrifying benefits of indoor cycling but instead with a stationary Hydrorider bike smack-dab in the middle of a pool. It's really an exhilarating experience and really takes onboard fitness to whole new level.

MSC Cruises also offers guests the opportunity to enjoy activities, sports and a specialized wellness program, Wellness Experience Powered by Technogym, to satisfy fitness, wellness and nutritional needs. For the first time in history, MSC Cruises has partnered with leading experts in the health and nutrition field to create a specialized experience dedicated entirely to wellness and fitness.

The New Wellness Experience is now available to book.

To learn more about the "Wellness" Experience Powered by Technogym or fitness while sailing, contact your travel agent, visit the MSC Cruises website or call 1-(844) 220-9878.
