Wellness represents different things for each of us, and there is no one path to a balanced life. Find your way to optimal health via California boot camps, Italian hot springs, Asian meditation, and everything in between.
Here are some great places to start:
Castles and vineyards float by in the background during Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection's daily yoga classes. The river ships also have loaner bikes for port visits, whether pedaling Amsterdam’s canals or powering through the Douro Valley.
All of UnCruise Adventures' journeys are fun and sporty, with kayaking, hiking, and paddle-boarding in destinations like Alaska or the Sea of Cortes; to slow down, try guided sunrise yoga and meditation on the sundeck.
Get a makeover on the open ocean. Silversea Cruises' onboard spa and salon offerings range from body wraps and cellulite reduction to teeth whitening; the newest ship in the fleet, Silver Spirit, offers Botox and Thermage.
