Discover yoga at sea on your next cruise...
Yoga fans are in for a treat in 2024, with the launch of four themed voyages from Sail Croatia
The special sailings combine a relaxing cruise around the Dalmatian coast with on-deck yoga classes and a host of mindful activities designed to invigorate and inspire.
Highlights include sunset yoga overlooking the tranquil islets of Mljet National Park, plus a chance to practise your Downward Dog at a vineyard on the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain, followed by wine-tasting and dinner.
Travelling with a certified yoga instructor, you’ll also be able to pick up some great tips and techniques.
Sailing round-trip from Spilt aboard the 38-guest motor yacht Almissa, these 6-night cruises also offer plenty of opportunities for a refreshing dip in the Adriatic from the ship’s swim platform, as well as a range of optional excursions including cycling, offroad buggy safaris and river rafting.
Prices start from £1,329 including daily sunrise and sunset yoga, a guided hike in Stari Grad, Captain’s Dinner evening, vineyard yoga visit and traditional dinner.
Departures are in April, September and October, and you can find out more at sail-croatia.com.
Take a Deepak breath
If you’re searching for a cruise that nourishes mind, body and soul, check out Swan Hellenic’s ‘Explore & Restore’ programme for 2024.
Curated by wellness guru Deepak Chopra, these six special voyages include Panama City to Acapulco (27 March to 2 April) and Nassau to New York (10-15 May) with a session led by Dr Chopra himself.
All sailings will include ayurvedic culinary offerings, daily meditation, yoga and breathwork classes, and expert-led workshops.
Expert tip from James Bradfield, dietician & nutritionist
"Seasonal satsumas are a good source of vitamin C and folic acid.
"Like all citrus fruit, they help in the prevention and treatment of colds, coughs and bleeding gums, while the pith and segment walls contain antioxidant flavonoids, which work with vitamin C to protect the body from damaging free radicals.
"Flavonoids also inhibit the formation of blood clots, so they’re an important nutrient for people at risk of strokes."
