You don’t have to worry about gaining weight with all the good food on the Serenade of the Seas because you have loads of opportunities to engage in fitness activities during your cruise. The ShipShape fitness center is well equipped with the most modern pieces of equipment for your needs. These include treadmills, stationary bikes, stair steppers, weight machines and free weights.


Fitness classes are offered in kickboxing, aerobics, Pilates, spinning, Yoga as well as circuit training and resistance training. There are instructors on every cruise for these classes and to give you any help or advice you may need. You can also hire your own personal trainer, for a reasonable fee, to design a workout routine based on your body type and fitness needs and to work with you for the duration of the cruise.

When you walk or jog at your own pace on the padded Jogging Track you will be so entranced by the view that you won’t even realize you have exercised a lot more than you usually do at home. Nintendo Wii Fit is available for those who like this kind of guided workout and there are daytime tournaments in which you can compete.

The Sports Deck has a basketball and volleyball court if you like to take part in more active workouts. The ultimate in fitness on this ship, though, is the rock climbing wall with its eleven different routes. You can take lessons and choose the beginner’s routes if this activity is new to you.

Golfers delight in the putting green on the ship and there is loads of fun to be had by playing a game of mini-golf.

Added to all this are the pools where you can swim a few laps during the morning hours. The weather won’t stop you from this daily activity with the retractable glass roof of the Solarium Pool.

The spa offers a wide range of treatments, such as massages, aromatherapy, body wraps, saunas, steam rooms and whirlpools. There is also a beauty salon where you can have all your grooming needs met and be ready for the nightly entertainment.
