Wellness Resolution Goals for 2024 Travel

Not only is wellness a top priority for many, the approach to achieving it has become more holistic than ever before. Rather than a short-lived new year’s resolution, the focus is on maintaining a balanced lifestyle throughout the year in a variety of ways in order to enhance the overall quality of life. Whether making more balanced meal choices, participating in exercise or mindfulness programs, or engaging in cerebral activities, maintaining a focus on your mind, body and spirit is easy when you join us on board our ships. At our Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, on our Wellness Discovery Tours by Aquamar and more, there are so many ways to integrate wellness into your voyages with Oceania Cruises in 2024 and beyond. Read on for inspiration.

10 Tips to Enhance Your Health & Wellness While Traveling on an Oceania Cruises Vacation

1. Join one of the free fitness classes offered on board. Concentrate on movement and breathing throughout a Yoga Flow Vinyasa class, focus on core strengthening during an expertly led Pure-Form Pilates class or ramp up your workout with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Whichever activity you choose, you’ll feel energized and revitalized.
2. Stretch more. The range of benefits that comes with a program of stretching exercises can include increase in flexibility and range of motion, improved blood flow and a decrease in risk of injuries. On board you can enjoy Functional Stretching, which is tailored to your specific needs, and a Sunrise and Sunset Stretch to loosen up muscles and relieve common aches and pains in a class focusing on the major muscle groups.



3. Try a meditation class. Originating in Asia, mediation is a mindfulness practice that encourages and develops concentration, relaxation and awareness. Try a Mindset Guided Meditation class that’s designed to help balance the emotional, physical and psychological challenges endured on a daily basis to achieve a calm and peaceful state. You can also participate in a Re-Set Breathing Class, a lung workout designed to provide a feeling of immediate relief to correct breathing and strengthen the body.
4. Balance your dining experiences with fresh wellness-inspired dishes. Enjoy flavorful and delicious selections with Aquamar Vitality Cuisine menu options at The Grand Dining Room, and on board Marina, Riviera, Vista and Allura, you can try delicious freshly pressed juice, a plant-based smoothie or an energy bowl at the Raw Juice & Smoothie Bar. Aquamar Kitchen on Vista and Allura, as well as Marina beginning May 2024, is yet another favorite option for balanced and lighter fare.



5. Combine exploration and wellness on a Wellness Discovery Tour by Aquamar. This carefully curated collection of wellness-focused excursions in destinations across Europe, Asia, Australia and South America invites you to nourish your mind, body and spirit. In Rome, unwind in the restorative waters of Terme dei Papi – the Thermal Baths of the Popes. Take a hands-on class in the preparation and benefits of eating raw foods in Bangkok. Visit a center in Adelaide known for promoting the therapeutic effects of drumming on the body and mind. Enjoy a relaxing, guided yoga class on the beach at Pisco’s beautiful Paracas National Reserve.
6. Set aside time for a nutrition consultation. A nutritional consultation based on the Nobel prize-winning research of Dr. Barry Sears offers a personalized, ideal Zone nutrition plan for clean and healthy eating. You can also develop a personalized approach to 2024 on board with an InBody 570® Composition Analysis. It will provide you with a comprehensive muscle and fat diagnosis to help you determine how to achieve your wellness goals and improve your daily quality of life.



7. Restore and revitalize your body and mind. An extensive menu of therapeutic and revitalizing treatments includes a wide array of massage and body therapies, such as a Restorative Salt Stone Massage, Deep Tissue Muscle Massage or Musclease Ocean Wrap. Relish a soothing facial therapy like a Caviar Firm and Lift Facial or an Oxygen Infusion Treatment. There’s also a selection of traditional Chinese medicine as well as Medi-spa services on board select ships offering treatments designed to refresh and enhance your appearance.
8. Start a Fitness Track ritual. Located at the top of the ship, the Fitness Track is ideal for taking a gentle stroll, brisk walk or invigorating jog and is particularly inviting with the refreshing sea breeze.



9. Visit the Salon or Barber Shop. From a fresh cut and blow-dry to intensive hair treatments to a variety of manicures and pedicures to keep hands and feet healthy – plus a selection of nourishing shaves for gentlemen – a visit to the salon is a feel-good experience that uplifts your spirits.
10. Join Team Trivia & Brain Games. A fun way to keep your mind sharp, Team Trivia and Brain Games on board are popular activities with our guests – and very competitive! They’re also great ways to meet fellow world travelers. Be sure to check the daily newsletter, Currents, for schedules.
