WELLNESS TRAVEL: FOUR TRENDS FOR 2015
by Anne Dimon / January 09, 2015






The worldwide wellness tourism industry has become a multi-billion dollar sector growing faster than travel in general, according to industry reports.

And as more and more of us want to feel better—and live longer—it’s showing no signs of slowing down. 

The main driving forces behind this development: The aging of the boomer population, the realization by more people that the key to good health and longevity lies in their own hands, and, simply, more peoples’ adoption of a “wellness lifestyle” that they want to maintain while traveling for business and pleasure.    

As the industry continues to evolve and mature, here are four top wellness trends to watch: 

#1. Getting Physical   
Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, cycling, yoga paddle boarding or simply walking in nature, there’s a steady interest in active vacations that’s leading to the introduction of more product.  

Shayne Messina of Sunmasters Elite Travel in Key Colony Beach, Fla., said her clients still want “beach and spa” vacations but “they also want to add some hiking and snorkeling and other fitness type adventures.” 

The growth in these active vacations is not just for singles and couples.

Issaquah, Wash.-based Bicycle Adventures is wheeling into the burgeoning active family travel market with a new family tour series for 2015.

#2. Food as the foundation  
As people come to accept the fact that nutritious food is the foundation of a wellness lifestyle, they realize their diets could be the cause of ailments ranging from allergies to heart disease. 

With that in mind, they’re increasingly exploring new ways to eat while on vacation. 

Retreats with a strong focus on healthy diet alternatives include Fivelements in Bali where guests dine on raw vegan cruise and learn how to prepare tasty dishes with these “living” foods.  

At SHA Wellness Clinic in Alicante, Spain dishes are created based on the philosophy of macrobiotics. 

#3. ‘Welltality’ is the new hospitality  
More hotels and resorts continue to add wellness features, programs and amenities to their everyday offerings.  

Fairmont Fit, Trump Wellness, and StayWell at MGM Grand are a few of the more well known programs.

More recently Four Seasons properties in cities such as Paris, Prague and Washington, D.C. introduced running, walking and hiking tours to guests free of charge. 

At the Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris, for instance, a 5.5 mile Cultural Jogging Tour takes guests on a guided run designed to showcase popular sites including the Louvre and the River Seine.

At the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas, director of marketing and communications Denise Randazzo said the hotel offers each guest a welcomed cup of tea and warm towels upon arrival, vegan and gluten free options in all restaurants plus complimentary daily yoga and Pilates classes. 

At Swissotels, the Purovel Spa & Sport brand extends from philosophy to treatments and even products.   

#4. More travel agent specialists 
Travel agents, too, are part of the developing niche and many are becoming wellness travel specialists.

Melissa Bruno, who launched Wayne, N.J.-based Invigorate Travel in 2014, was drawn to wellness travel for three reasons. She is now a Well-Being Travel specialist.

The specialist certification is offered to agents by Well-Being Travel, a marketing organization that focuses on educating travel agents and suppliers about the growing health, wellness and medical travel industry.

She recently discovered the benefits of health in her own life and wanted to incorporate that into her own travels. 

She relates to the demographic of educated successful professionals and executives who are looking for a partner to help them design their "best fit" wellness vacation.

She loves sharing her experience with others.

A believer in preventive care through diet, exercise and yoga, Tammey Perkins of Life Enhancing Travel in Bel Air, Md. began exploring the possibility of combining travel with healing the mind, body, and soul healing and last year became a Well-Being Travel Specialist.

She said her clients find great value in their wellness vacations. “They come home rested, happy, and rejuvenated,” Perkins said.

Another Well-Being Travel Specialist, Deborah Fogarty with Be Well Travel in Pembroke Pines, Fla., said, “This part of the industry is only growing, and I am so happy to be a part of it.”

Some travel writers call it a “city at sea.”

That’s a very fitting term to describe one of the world’s largest cruise ships: the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas. With capacity for a whopping 6,000 passengers and 2,300 crew members, this ship feels like a floating metropolis.

Roam through 7 distinct neighborhoods spread across the ship. First, drop by the Pool and Sports Zone, which includes surf simulators, and then browse the boutique shops along the charming Royal Promenade. The Entertainment Place features Broadway shows while the Youth Zone is equipped with a science lab and plenty of games for kids.
But one of the most impressive parts of the Oasis of the Seas’ layout is Central Park. This lush retreat is the first-ever living park to set sail, with more than 1,200 species of plants. And it’s not the only unique amenity on this ship. The sprawling AquaTheatre is the world’s first amphitheatre at sea. Here you can take in an array of different nautical-themed shows.

And the best way to understand everything that this amazing ship offers is to see if for yourself. This video offers more details. See More at www.bestcruisechoice.com

16 Top Tips for First Time Cruisers

Gary Bembridge
With the explosion in the number of people that are going on cruises, never has there been a time when there are so many first time cruisers. An increase in people seeking the best and right way to venture forth onto the high seas for the first time.
I remember so well when I first started to go on cruises, and based on that and experiences since then I have developed this list of top tips and advice for travellers considering a cruise for the first time. If you have any thoughts or tips to add, please leave a comment on the blog posting, send it to me on twitter or email me.
Here are my Top 16 Tips for Travellers about to – or considering – becoming a first time cruiser:
(1) USE A CRUISE EXPERT TRAVEL AGENT
I am one of those people that like to do my own research and book directly when travelling. But I found very fast that it is much better when cruising to use a cruise expert agent. Not only do you get better prices and packages, but also you seem to get better cabins and more chance of upgrades if they are on offer. I found this out with the 1st 2 cruises we went on, and now only book via a cruise agent. We have seen the benefit in both prices, cabins selection and upgrades.
We found our agent via cruise site message boards where she was an active participant answering questions and helping people out. /
The next best option is to ask friends or work colleagues and find out who they use and recommend. Focus on a cruise dedicated or expert, as they will also be able to understand what you like and the best cruise line for you – as well as getting the best deals.
(2) RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH
This is really key. For me the best were the message boards on the main cruise fan sites. I used them extensively when first considering a cruise. The best by far (in my view) are the ones on Cruise Critic at http://cruiseforums.cruisecritic.com/ as they split by topic and also by Cruise Line. This site also has professional and traveller reviews on the site that are added to regularly. This is an excellent way to research.
If you are looking for something more physical, then the cruise “bible” has to be the Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising and Cruise Ships by Douglas Ward. It is updated every year and reviews cruise lines and ships and rates them based on his own experience. He spends most of the year at sea.
(3) CHOSE YOUR BRAND CAREFULLY
There are now so many cruise lines, although in reality most are owned by 2 mega companies (Carnival and Royal Caribbean). Carnival is the largest and owns everything from Cunard through to P and O and Holland America. The reason is each offers a different experience and different levels of service and features. It is important to understand these so you find yourself on a ship that is most likely going to meet your tastes. Your agent can help as can the message boards and Berlitz Guide. All lines are not the same and increasingly they are trying to target different types of cruisers. Chose carefully!
(4) GO ON A TASTER CRUISE
Many cruise lines run short cruises of anything from 1 to 3 nights. These usually go from and return to the same port and are perfect for first time cruisers to feel out of a cruise and a certain brand is for them. I strongly recommend you do one of these before you commit to a longer cruise. They are usually well priced and give you a full on experience of the experience and what the particular cruise line experience is. Then if you love it, you are ready and eager to book something – and if you hate it then you only have a night or two to pass by.
(5) CONSIDER A REPOSITIONING CRUISE
These are cruises usually at the start and end of the seasons where cruise lines move their ships to and from the Caribbean area in Europe/ USA winter to the summer in the Med. They usually involve 5 or 6 nights at sea and 4 or so nights at some ports. They tend to be great prices as more people seem to like routes with lots of ports, and also many people like to start and end at the same port. These though give you the best of many worlds!
(6) DON’T WORRY ABOUT GETTING SEASICK
I was really worried about this. But the reality is that is you do feel seasick it can be dealt with by buying anti-seasick pills from your pharmacy before you go – or worst case by going to the ship medical centre and paying for an amazing injection that makes you sleep but wake up read to take on the roughest of seas. I can vouch for this as on my first long cruise we did a winter crossing of the Atlantic on Cunard’s QE2 with 50 and 60 foot waves and had the jab and had no issues at all.
Saying all of this, modern ships have stabilizers that reduce and pretty much cut out the “roll” effect and so even when the sea is choppy you don’t really feel it and so less likely to have any effect. If you are concerned aim for a cabin in the middle of the ship and low down as that is where there is the least movement of all in a ship.
(7) GET TO THE PORT AND SHIP AS EARLY AS YOU CAN OR ARE ALLOWED TO
Although many cruise lines will try and encourage everyone not to arrive too early and all at the same time, as a First Time cruiser and also when new to a ship, I recommend getting there and on-board as early as you can and then you have time to explore the ship and find your way round before it is busy and everything is open. For many people, the first time on a ship they find getting around can eb a bit confusing as you charge off thinking you are heading to the rear of the ship to find yourself at the other end. Finding your way round, seeing where you dinner table is and other key areas you are likely to spend time on is a great idea. Then you get to enjoy disembarkation on deck!
(8) GET ON SECOND SITTING AND TABLE FOR 8
I recommend if you are a first time cruiser and on a cruise line with set seating, to go for a big table and the 2nd sitting (usually around 8 or 830pm). If a large table there will be a lot to discuss and learn, and even if you don’t click with some people on the table then it does not feel too uncomfortable!
(9) TALK TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN
People who cruise love to talk about it. They love to share their experiences and tips. So all you need to do is talk to as many people as you can, and they will share all sorts of great advice. We learnt a huge amount by doing just that on the taster cruise and came away from 2 nights with tips and advice we never got from other research.
(10) GET DRESSED UP ON FORMAL NIGHTS. RELISH AND ENJOY
Many cruise lines have formal nights. These are part of the cruise experience and you should embrace and enjoy them. If you really hate the idea, then avoid cruise lines that have them and especially ones that enforce them strongly such as P and O and Cunard for example.
(11) WATCH THE EXTRAS. THEY WILL MOUNT UP VERY FAST IF YOU DO NOT
Cruises used to be much more “all inclusive” but over recent years this has started to evolve, and even more so as the headline price of the cruise itself gets discounted and priced to attract. So cruise lines now work really hard to drive up the average spend by passenger from events, special restuarants, courses and training, gym classes, stores, excursions, on-board photos, internet access and of course drinks. It is very easy to spend a lot of money that may exceed the cost of the cruise. As everything you spend is charged to a cruise card you have on the ship, unless you set a budget and watch spending you may have an unpleasant surprise.
(12) STAY ON THE SHIPS ON SOME PORTS
Most people seem obsessed with getting off a ship rather than staying on it and enjoying it. I may be different, but actually prefer the sea days as you get to have a more leisurely morning and then can enjoy all the many events and options of things to do on the ship. If on a cruise with many stops, plan to spend one day just on the ship. You will find everything is quiet and so you can do things like enjoy the pool without the crowds, sit quietly in the bars reading and so on.
(13) SHORE EXCURSIONS – DO YOU REALLY NEED TO DO THEM VIA THE CRUISE LINE?
Research your stops. There usually is a free bus shuttle laid on by the cruise line if the ship docks not close to town centre. You may find that just doing that and exploring the town with some preparation before going, although also most of the towns will also have booths with maps and suggestions. We tend to avoid going on booked excursions to explore ourselves. They can be fairly costly and may not be worth it. There are also some companies online that run similar tours for when ships dock with smaller groups and at lower costs.
(14) BRING ENOUGH CASH FOR THE TIPS
Check if your cruise fare includes or excludes tips, or if they are added to your on-board account or if you are expected to pay cash tips. On the message boards, tips is one of the most discussed topics. Most cruise lines will recommend a level, and you can increase or remove them. Avoid the temptation to both pay what is charged to your account and then also pay cash. One tip though is maybe hand your cabin steward a tip when you first meet them for added sparkle in service!
(15) PLAN YOUR NEXT DAY BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
There is so much to do on a ship, and most provide a schedule for the next day for when you return from dinner. It is worth spending time digesting and planning the next day to make the best use of your time. Remember you are on vacation, so don’t go too mad!
(16) SELF SERVICE DIS-EMBARKATION
Depending on what level of cabin you are travelling, you may find yourself sitting about in public rooms from 8am for a few hours before your turn to disembark at the end of your cruise. Many cruise lines are now offering self disembarkation where you carry all your own luggage off the ship. You can usually get off the ship half an hour to an hour after the ship docks and is cleared. I really like this as means less time just hanging about. So when packing think about if you can manage with luggage you can carry, and make sure you have cases with wheels as a lot of walking and carrying through the ship and on the docks…

Best Cruise Lines in the Caribbean

http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/badges/59/best_cruise_lines_caribbean_2015.png
When choosing to cruise to the Caribbean, images of white-sand beaches, cerulean water and plenty of sun often come to mind. But since most of the islands in this region boast those sought-after features, how do you know what cruise line offers the best Caribbean experience? Using a methodology that factors in the variety, number and percentage of Caribbean itineraries, along with the cruise line's approval rating among experts and travelers, U.S. News' Best Cruises team has compiled this list of the best cruise lines sailing to the Caribbean.
#1
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/293/Disney_Cruise_Line_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1345.jpg
Disney Cruise Line
Disney's ships sail to 12 ports across the Caribbean, with stops in top spots like St. Kitts and Grenada. Families are fans of this line thanks to its onboard and onshore activities and excursions for younger children. Kids get a kick out of featured activities like treasure hunts with Disney characters and swimming with dolphins. Couples also enjoy Disney cruises for their affordability and secluded, adults-only areas found on every ship. Plus, most of Disney's Bahamian cruises stop at Castaway Cay (the cruise line's own private island in the Bahamas), so everyone can take advantage of less-congested beaches and prime snorkeling.
#2
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/300/Royal_Caribbean_International_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1352.jpg
Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean is known for its varied island itineraries — popular stops include Barbados, Jamaica and St. Croix. What's more, shore activities arranged through Royal Caribbean cater to all types of travelers: You could zip line through the jungle, strap on scuba equipment and scour the deep blue sea, or just relax on the beach. Along the way, you'll be cruising with travelers of all ages and you'll have access to Royal Caribbean's water sports activities, diverse dining options and lively evening entertainment.
#3
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/288/Carnival_Cruise_Lines_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1340.jpg
Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival brings the party to the Caribbean with its "Fun Ships" cruising to a handful of hot spots, including Aruba and Belize. Families enjoy Carnival's lively atmosphere and abundance of onboard activities, along with its affordable and flexible island itineraries: Caribbean cruises last anywhere from four to 14 days, and you'll often find trips for less than $100 a night. Meanwhile, shore excursions organized through Carnival range from dolphin encounters and cave exploration to water park fun and beach relaxation.
#4
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/301/Silversea_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1353.jpg
Silversea Cruises
Silversea caters to couples and older travelers, with onboard activities like bingo, lectures and dance classes. Shore activities abound as well — Caribbean excursions range from bird-watching in the rainforest to touring sugar plantations. Cruisers also have access to Silversea's Destination Consultants, who are available onboard each ship to help guests pick the perfect adventure. Another reason Silversea is a top Caribbean cruise line? Its eight ships sail to more than 20 Caribbean ports, with stops at exclusive destinations like Bonaire and Martinique.
#5
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/289/Celebrity_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1341.jpg
Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity's quality service and variety of Caribbean itineraries makes it a star in the eyes of many cruisers. You'll be sailing the seas with a diverse crowd — Celebrity's ships boast programs for traveling foodies, fitness buffs, language learners and active types. You can choose to cruise to spots like the U.S. Virgin Islands and Curacao or boat around the Bahamas, among several other islands. Whatever you choose, Celebrity's destinations all offer interesting and exciting shore excursions. Glass-bottom kayaking, snorkeling or swimming with dolphins, anyone?
#6
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/294/Holland_America_Line_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1346.jpg
Holland America Line
Sailing to destinations like Trinidad & Tobago, the Bahamas and St. Lucia, Holland America's ships offer a host of onboard amenities and activities to keep guests entertained at sea. Cruisers will enjoy the activity schedule distributed daily that outlines things to do and places to be on board. Once you dock in any port, you'll be able to participate in volunteer efforts and historical excursions or private tours and culinary outings.
#7
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/296/Norwegian_Cruise_Line_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1901.jpg
Norwegian Cruise Line
The colorfully decorated ships in Norwegian's fleet are a treat for the kids and families that travel to the islands. Meanwhile, solo travelers appreciate the discounted rates and studio cabins designed specifically with them in mind. With sailings to dozens of popular isles in the Caribbean — including Aruba, Dominica and Barbados — you'll be sure to find a schedule to suit your fancy. And Norwegian's extensive list of excursions includes offerings like horseback riding along the beach, surfing lessons and cave exploration.
#8
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/291/Crystal_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1343.jpg
Crystal Cruises
While you'll likely find older travelers on Crystal's ships, the staff keeps everyone busy with evening shows, lively casinos and a consistently lauded spa. Puerto Rico, St. Barts and St. Lucia are among the featured destinations on Crystal's upcoming itineraries; you'll be able to use the online shore excursion finder tool prior to your voyage to find the best activities for you. You can spend your Caribbean getaway flying high above the islands on a helicopter tour or meandering among colorful wings in a butterfly garden.
#9
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/298/Princess_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1350.jpg
Princess Cruises
Princess plays host to a wide variety of travelers: kids, teens, families, couples, solos, you name it. And lovers of sun, sand and adventure will find routes to a laundry list of Caribbean destinations (like Barbados, Grenada and Honduras). Princess also delights travelers with its "cruisetour" options: These trips add a few extra days to typical shore excursions, providing more time to explore all a given destination has to offer (and giving guests more bang for their buck).
#10
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/299/Regent_Seven_Seas_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1351.jpg
Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Regent Seven Seas sails to some of the best Caribbean beaches: Turks & Caicos, Grand Cayman and St. Maarten to name a few. Sun-seekers will be content lounging poolside on the ship before stretching out along alabaster sands to soak in the scenery. And unlike other cruise lines, Regent allows passengers to try an unlimited number of shore excursions at no extra cost. That means you could spend the morning on a catamaran, schedule a midday swim with stingrays and cap off your adventure with a dune buggy safari — all without having to pay extra.
#11
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/297/Oceania_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1349.jpg
Oceania Cruises
Oceania's fares may not cover as many onboard amenities and services as other lines, but these ships don't skimp on trips to the Caribbean. With itineraries covering many of the most popular locales — St. Maarten, Guadeloupe and the Dominican Republic, to name a few — the typical 50-plus cruising crowd will appreciate the available excursions, many of which focus on cultural immersion. Oceania also offers plenty of relaxation opportunities at the spa and pools on its midsize ships along the way.
#12
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/287/Azamara_Club_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1339.jpg
Azamara Club Cruises
Azamara Club Cruises caters to adult world travelers, but its Caribbean voyages attract young adults as well. Since Azamara's fleet only consists of two ships, its Caribbean itineraries are limited. But Azamara's ships do feature several dining and entertainment venues, along with pools and fitness facilities. Book a cruise to St. Kitts, Virgin Gorda, the Bahamas or a selection of other Caribbean locales and take advantage of Azamara's complimentary AzAmazing evenings, which offer travelers the chance to experience the local culture of their destination.
#13
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/290/Costa_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1342.jpg
Costa Cruises
Caribbean itineraries available on this line are few and far between — only a handful of Costa ships are hosting Caribbean itineraries in the next year. The Bahamas and the Cayman Islands are among the islands Costa's ships visit, with excursions like sailing, Land Rover adventures and helicopter tours available for booking. Activities abound on board Costa's ships, which are equipped with pools and casinos, and dining venues run the gamut from buffets to casual bistros to traditional sit-down restaurants.
#14
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/295/MSC_Cruises_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1347.jpg
MSC Cruises
MSC doesn't offer many Carribean itineraries (just one of its 12 ships, the MSC Divina, is sailing to the region in 2015), but they stop in popular island spots like Jamaica and St. Maarten. Along the way, you can take advantage of the variety of food and drink offerings at the restaurants and lounges on board. When you get to shore, you'll have plenty to keep you busy, including swimming with dolphins, jungle river tubing and guided hikes.
#15
http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/rank_prj/4/292/Cunard_Line_CRUISELINE-MAIN-THUMB_1344.jpg
Cunard Line
Cunard's Caribbean itineraries (available on all three of the line's ships) typically depart from Southampton, England and usually last more than a week (the shortest trip sails for 12 days, the longest is 110). However, the itineraries still cover islands like St. Lucia, Bonaire and Antigua — some of cruisers' favorite locales.

This list should serve as more of a description of each cruise line as apposed to the ranking. We fit you to the ship that best fits your life style or that will give you and your family the most enjoyable vacation.
