Six health and wellbeing benefits of an Ambassador Cruise Line voyage
Indulge and pamper yourself during your next cruise, and benefit from a wellbeing boost in addition to all the enriching travel and outstanding cuisine
When you think of Ambassador Cruise Line, the first thing you may think of is convenient, no-fly cruises from eight regional UK ports.
You might think of the crew – the friendliest at sea. Or the timeless entertainment on stage. But do you think of the health benefits?
Cruising is actually really good for you. Ask any doctor – perhaps they can give you a prescription for your next cruise…
And Ambassador has a host of health and wellbeing specials on board.
Indulge in the Green Sea Spa
For an oasis of tranquillity after an exciting day exploring in port, there’s no better place than the Green Sea Spa.
The onboard spa retreat has a variety of private treatment rooms where you can escape from the world and enter your personal realm of bliss.
Massages, facial treatments and even hairstyling are available throughout your cruise.
Complimentary use of pool and gym facilities
Of course, exercise gets the endorphins pumping and helps you feel great.
So it’s always good to know you’ve got complimentary access to the swimming pool for a refreshing morning swim or afternoon splash.
The onboard gym is also well stocked with modern machines to give you a full-body workout.

Health and fitness activities program
The wellbeing specialists in the Green Sea Spa and entertainment team run a series of health and fitness activities and seminars through the cruise, to help you achieve your positive lifestyle goals.
Whether it’s learning more about different treatments – like acupuncture – or attending a practical exercise class in the gym, the wellness programme ensures the health benefits of your cruise last long into the future.
Mind, body and soul take centre stage
Maybe you’ve always wanted to try yoga – or you want to keep your fitness routine going strong during your cruise.
The entertainment team offer a choice of activities for all abilities, including yoga – with chair yoga also scheduled for an alternative style.
Healthy hips classes help you focus in on a common area of concern, and leave the cruise feeling younger and fresher than ever.
If you’re looking for something a little more intense and physically-challenging, test your limits in the circuits session, and stretch it out in the Pilates class.
Daily walking party
Sometimes the best form of exercise is when you don’t even realise you’re doing it. And that’s certainly the case with the daily walk-the-deck get-togethers with the entertainment team.
Meet up each morning with the team and enjoy a good chat as you walk the runners track at your own pace.
By the end of the cruise, you’ll have made some good friends as well as burned some of those buffet calories.
Dance is the best exercise
And while we’re on the topic of fun exercise – there’s no better form of exercise than dancing. With great company and fun music choices, your entertainment team hosts ‘Chance to Dance’ sessions in the Observatory.
Learn different dance styles, including ballroom, sequence and Charleston, with your partner, or join in alone and pair up with new friends in the class.
The fun, laid-back atmosphere created by the team makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. And, who knows, maybe you’ll head home with a new skill under your belt.
