We all like to treat ourselves whilst we’re away, to the local delicacies, afternoons lounging in the sun, or the odd cocktail or two, but wouldn’t it be great to get the best of both worlds, and keep active as well? With Emerald Waterways’ Activity Managers onboard every European river cruise, here’s the guide to working fitness and wellness into your cruising holiday.
During guests’ time with Emerald Waterways, they will have the opportunity to enjoy the EmeraldACTIVE programme of excursions, encouraging them to stretch their legs, find their center and keep active, whether onboard or onshore.
1. Join classes on holiday
Get involved and buddy up with new-found friends on-board during an active class. Guests can look forward to classes on-board such as yoga and Pilate’s sessions, aqua aerobics in the heated pool or ‘walk-a-mile’ on the Sun Deck.
For those with their own routine, each of the Emerald Waterways’ Star-Ships has an onboard Fitness Area, well-equipped with high-quality equipment and gym apparatus.
2. Walk and cycle to see new destinations in a different light
Rather than jump in taxis or take a bus tour why not meander around a new city on foot. Not only will your step count surge, but you might also even discover some hidden gems along the way. As part of our EmeraldACTIVE programme, guided walks of beautiful towns are on offer, guests may also make use of the complimentary onboard bicycles for the guided cycle tours such as a 23-mile bike tour through rolling vineyards age-old castle along the Danube.
3. Excursions with activity
When selecting an itinerary, look through the highlights to see what included activities and excursions are available. Some of these active experiences include exploring the Douro by canoe with an expert guide teaching guests the ropes and leading the way. Another onshore experience to stay active is the guided hikes to iconic landmarks and places of interest such as the Bratislava Castle, Buda Hill, the Black Forest trails, through vineyards in Tournon, and through Porto city center.
A perfect river cruise for those who want to stay active this year is now on offer with The Ultimate River Cruise Sale for a limited time only, with generous savings.
