On 7 April, World Health Day, the World Health Organization marks its 70th anniversary. This year, World Health Day is dedicated to one of WHO’s founding principles: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.”
Spa & Fitness Center
Why do we bring up health and fitness in a cruise blog?
Going on a cruise vacation doesn't imply that you'll have to break your health and fitness regiment.. While it is true that you can eat 24 hours a day if you like, that doesn't mean you have to do so or eat foods that go against your healthy lifestyle. Quite the contrary is actually the case. Cruise lines offer a wide variety of food for all lifestyles. Many ships have recently expanded dining options to include spa menus served in either a spa restaurant setting or in the main dining room.

Perhaps one of the best Spa and Fitness Centers at sea is the Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center on the largest ship afloat, the Allure of the Seas.
Vitality at Sea Spa
The spa features 29 treatment rooms with a full menu of indulgent treatments: signature treatments, facial treatments, massage therapies, body therapies, acupuncture services, Medi-Spa cosmetic treatments, tooth whitening and men's services.
Vitality at Sea Fitness Center
Become a master of movement and stretch your body beyond its normal boundaries. Enjoy state-of-the-art cardio and strength fitness equipment and new programs, including Gravity, heart-rate-based spinning and Kinesis.
Following a good workout in the fitness center, continue with a well balanced three course meal from the Vitality menu. If you have special dietary needs, Allure of the Seas, as well as other cruise ships, are able to provide meals that satisfy those requirements. Advance notice is suggested to assure that the cruise ship has necessary ingredients in stock.
So I hate to break the news to you that going on a cruise isn't an excuse for breaking those New Years' resolutions. In some cases, it might even make it easier to keep your resolutions, since you have the healthy foods available as well as more fitness equipment and options than many stateside fitness centers.
