When we travel, we love to stay as active as possible. Most of the time we just use a local gym, or do a bodyweight workout, but we also love to find fun yoga and fitness retreats while we travel also. Here are some awesome wellness and active vacations to keep you in shape while you travel in 2020.
9 Active Vacations to Take This Year
Blue World Voyages cruise
This cruise line is going to be amazing! The Blue World Voyages are the first cruise line dedicated to active, healthy lifestyles. Soon, you’ll be able to cruise around the Mediterrean while keeping fit and active. The newest cruise line will use existing cruise ships but will have less people aboard, meaning more room for activites on the ship. This is a workout fanatics heaven. There will be a functional training gym, a bike fitting station, batting cages, spinning and TRX studios, a lap pool and more. There will also be a dedicated wellnes area, including a state of the art spa and yoga studio. The initial departure is scheduled for May 2019, but you can find more information on their website.
