Across our fleet, our ships’ company are finding new ways to stay active, build connections and support their wellbeing, proving that life at sea offers plenty of opportunities to learn, move and grow.
On Arcadia, crew members are getting their hearts pumping at regular Zumba classes, inspired by ideas shared through the Women’s Forum. Led by Fitness Instructor Lucia, the energetic sessions combine fitness, fun and friendship, giving colleagues the chance to unwind, socialise and stay healthy together.
For some crew members, wellbeing has also meant developing valuable new skills. While sailing in Iceland, swimming lessons were offered to colleagues who 
wanted to build their confidence in the water. Thanks to the dedication of a volunteer Pool Supervisor and support from the Ship Welfare Committee, participants developed their swimming abilities while gaining a life skill that will stay with them long after their time onboard.
A similar fitness culture is flourishing on Arvia, where increased participation has transformed onboard activities in recent months. What was once centred mainly around spinning classes has grown into a varied programme including yoga, Pilates, bootcamp, stretching sessions, fitness challenges and group runs. Led by Crew Welfare Officer, Ana, and supported by colleagues from across the ship, the focus has been on encouragement, inclusivity and making fitness enjoyable for everyone. The result has been more crew members getting involved, supporting one another and building connections across departments, from Technical and IT to Medical, Entertainment and F&B.Over on Britannia, wellbeing has become a team effort. From the ever-growing Run Club and popular HIIT classes to wellbeing walks and new personal training
opportunities, crew members have embraced a wide range of activities designed to boost both physical and mental wellbeing. Whether running through Mediterranean ports or exercising together onboard, these activities are helping colleagues connect, stay active and build a strong sense of community.
Meanwhile, Azura’s crew showed that wellbeing is also about supporting others. Inspired by 12-year-old fundraiser Jacob Newson and his determination to raise 
money for charity, the team organised a spin-a-thon that raised more than £1,000 towards his fundraising goal ahead of his Mount Kilimanjaro challenge. It was a fantastic example of colleagues coming together to make a positive difference.
From learning new skills and staying fit to supporting worthy causes, our crews continue to show how wellbeing is about more than exercise alone. It’s about creating opportunities to connect, grow, support one another and enjoy life at sea.
