What is a holiday, but free time to spend at our leisure, any way we want. For many, this means relaxing on a beach or taking a trip somewhere exotic, while for others, free time provides the opportunity to learn a new skill or try something new. So what if you could do both?
With so many people looking to get something more out of their break, the cruise industry has literally taken this on board - with fun and practical classes available to cruise holiday passengers. Below are some of the classes on offer:
If you're travelling on one of the Crystal Cruises holidays, then you'll have the opportunity to sign up for one of the classes in their Creative Learning Institute. There is also the Crystal Visions range of seminars, with motivational speakers and recognisable people who come to speak on board. The classes range from art, languages, music and health, so whatever you're interested in you'll find something to suit.
Princess Cruises offer the Scholarship@Sea programme which gives passengers the opportunity to learn hands-on crafts like scrapbooking and pottery, get technical with digital photography and computer classes, or enjoy cooking and wine-tasting sessions. The courses require a small fee but there are also plenty of fascinating lectures which are free to attend, from maritime history to science and politics. So even those who are sticking to a tight budget on discount cruises can enjoy the benefits of this motivational programme.
Celebrity Cruises also have their own set of classes for passengers on their cruise ships, which is called Celebrity Life. The main categories are Savor (featuring food and wine), Discover (practical life skills), and Renew (health and inner wellbeing). The range of options is wide enough that everyone will be able to find something they'd be interested in learning, and you can come away from your holiday with a new language or a new recipe!
