How to Take a Luxury Cruise and not Gain Weight

Is it actually possible to take a 10-day luxury cruise without returning 10 pounds heavier? We asked ourselves this pressing question as we prepared for our first-ever cruise, aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer. We knew that the ship was renowned for its luxuriousness, and we’d been warned by friends and family that we’d be surrounded by food and drink 24/7. Sure, the first couple of days might be OK. But TEN? That required some planning and thought. So as we packed our suitcases, we made some health and wellness plans. We just returned from our voyage, and we’re happy to share the answer to our query. Yes, dear reader, you can have a huge amount of fun on a cruise and not gain weight. Here’s how.

What is a Typical Day on a Luxury Cruise Ship Like?

If I go on a luxury cruise, will I be bored? Is it going to feel claustrophobic? What do people do all day with all that time? These are logical questions, since almost any ocean cruise is going to involve at least a couple of days at sea (and sometimes many, many more). So what does one do all day when the shoreline is nowhere in sight? Recently, we took a 10-day cruise on the ultra-luxurious Regent Seven Seas Explorer. What follows is a photo journey to share the details of how we managed to pass the time. Spoiler alert: dear reader, you will definitely not be bored should you decide to embark on a luxury cruise on the high seas, at least if you go on this ship.
