Vogel, with this launch, “anchored in our desire to innovate in all areas of the business, we are taking another step forward in our commitment to enriching our onboard offering, providing customers with themed and individualized experiences in line with current trends and the interests of today's traveler.”
“In this sense,” Vogel adds, “we see how our passengers are increasingly looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle during their holidays, to disconnect and return to their daily routine with energy; and what better way to do so than on the high seas, in an unparalleled environment, and combining it with the possibility of visiting Rome, Valletta and Messina.”
With this launch, “and true to our DNA, we become the first shipping company to organize a cruise of this type designed according to the tastes and needs of the Spanish public,” concludes the President & CEO.
Exclusive program for all audiences
The shipping company has developed a comprehensive and varied program designed so that all passengers – regardless of age, physical condition or prior knowledge of the activities to be carried out – can make the most of this experience.
The only requirement is wanting to enjoy a fun and different vacation, in which, in addition to an attractive route, there is the possibility of feeling good about yourself and disconnecting.
Therefore, activities from very varied disciplines that address the most important aspects of the wellness: mind-body connection (yoga), physical activity (functional training), healthy eating (mindful eating) and active meditation focused on personal and collective enjoyment.
Among them are:
- Vinyasa Yoga with Xuan Lan: dynamic yoga for urban and active people who need to disconnect from their routine. It combines breath and movement to achieve a state of awareness and breathwork.
- Suco Sessions, with Jaime & Lydia: a journey of movement, breathing and music through wireless headphones.
- Yogonchelo, with Nimuhood: an experience that combines fluid movements based on dynamic physical yoga with the power of live cello music.
- Acro Yoga, with Joana Maso: the perfect fusion between yoga, acrobatics and therapeutic arts; it is practiced both in pairs and in groups.
- Personal training with Oriol Ballus: strength, endurance, and metabolic conditioning. Includes ZUU (a technique based on animal movement) for joint mobility and body fluidity.
- Nutrition workshop with Alf Mota: a review of how food can contribute to improving our quality of life. The instructor will also offer a cooking demonstration with healthy foods to help you enjoy health and well-being through your own cooking.
