Staying Active on Your Next Vacation

Princess Cruises has started new ways for passengers to stay active on their cruise vacation – including an in-room fitness program, yoga classes for kids and teens, and new Lotus Spa classes that focus on core, balance and strength exercises.

The in-room Fitness@Sea program is hosted by celebrity trainer Gillian Clark, who leads nine classes shown exclusively on the line’s Wellness Channel. The classes range from core strengthening to cardio training. On ships with ‘Movies Under the Stars,’ Princess airs the morning sessions on its poolside screens so passengers can work out in a group setting in the open air.

In addition, yoga for kids and teens will be presented in free, fun, half- to full-hour courses in the youth and teen centers.

The Lotus Spa’s new Core.Balance.Strength program focuses on these three fitness components, and will be available for a fee. An element of the strength aspect of the program is Tour de Spin, which will benefit LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
