Addicted To Your Device? Take The Ultimate Digital Detox Vacation

With smartphones, tablets and even smart watches propelling us full speed ahead into the Digital Age, the act of disconnection, especially during vacation, is harder than ever. If you're itching to use your vacation time to get away from it all, here are some ways to completely digitally disconnect especially on your next vacation.

Cruising is by far the best vacation option around and it's not because you can visit multiple fascinating destinations in one single trip but because there is so much to do when you're onboard a cruise ship. With hidden coves of exciting games and loads of activities to get involved in, there'll be no time to grab that tablet to check emails. In fact, aboard MSC Divina, you can enjoy a refreshing cycling workout…underwater! It's called Aqua Cycling and MSC Cruises is the first cruise line and ship (MSC Divina) to offer it.

There's even a Top Chef–style culinary challenge called SuperChef where you can try to create a dish from the menu of one of the specialty restaurants while the restaurant's head chef judges your progress. With hands full of flour and dough, you'll be more inclined to enjoy the experience rather than tapping your thumb away texting on your device.

The only way to really digitally detox on your next vacation is to do something different. A tweet is the last thing on your mind when on a trekking adventure. And one of the best trekking spots in the world is through the Timanfaya National Park. It's like a trekkers dream, trailing up spectacular craters through rocky, fossilized lava flows that culminate into volcanic lakes.

MSC Cruises includes this 3-hour trekking adventure on a cruise to Arrecife, Spain. Once you've managed to reach the height of the trek, you'll see that it was all worth 100% of your participation and attention.
