Cynthia Neu was a first time student in Jim Seeley's water aerobics class in McLean, VA in 1998 when they decided to take their whole class on a fitness cruise. (Both shown R.) The cruise was so popular news about it spread to other local fitness centers. Soon their news was nationwide. The popular Fun&FitnessTravelClub today has 3,500 members who every year cruise to exotic ports of call while participating in daily water exercises.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines in October of 2007 named the Fun&FitnessTravelClub its #1 Business Partner in the Mid-Atlantic District of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Recognized for its growth in volume, customer loyalty and its innovative way to promote healthy cruising Royal Caribbean chose Fun&FitnessTravelClub from among a total 104 other travel agencies to receive its top award.

FFun&FitnessTravelClub cruises are escorted by Program Director Jim Seeley, often accompanied by Travel Coordinator Cynthia Neu. They are always assisted by other certified fitness instructors from throughout the United States who bring their own hometown students to participate in the club's fitness cruises. These fitness cruises include daily water aerobics classes, as well as yoga, chair yoga, chair aerobics, tai chi, stretching  and deck walking sessions. Classes are held in private for club members only. Social activities may also include Line Dancing, Salsa and Ballroom Dance lessons and sometimes digital photography lessons too. Benefits include: A Call Center located in the United States, deep discounts for air and sea tickets, a 100% refundable deposit up to 90 days before sailing, mid-ship cabins located on upper decks, escorted sailings , private dining tables, full color brochures with information about the ports of call, packing instructions, early Security clearances, early ship boarding and disembarkation, optional pre-cruise tours and trip cancellation insurance that includes medical and air fare coverage.

Only those who book through the Fun&FitnessTravelClub may receive its total fitness cruise package. Be sure to call 1-800-955-9942 or 1-703-827-0414. "We book our fitness cruises a year ahead of departure, assuring guests we have the best prices with the very best cabin locations," says Travel Coordinator Cynthia Neu. "We do not offer 'last chance' low priced cabins just before departure," she said. "Such cabins are mostly sold on the Internet and are usually located near smoking sections or under a ship's theatre and night clubs. Cabins booked at the last minute are at the end of the ship requiring long walks to dinner and/or to disembark for shore excursions. Such cabins are also more vulnerable to motion sickness because they are in poor locations. Our cabins, because we book early, are mid-ship. As soon as you book with us we will tell you in writing where your stateroom is. Club members love this feature," says Cynthia.

Certified Fitness Hosts are led by Program Director Jim Seeley. A list of upcoming fitness cruises (shown below) contains links to all the ports mentioned. Scroll down to find your favorite cruise itinerary. After you view a BLUE link it will appear in RED. Deposits are 100% refundable up to 90 days before departure. Don't wait. Prices go up and cabin selections become fewer as each cruise departure date draws nearer. It is also possible to book a cruise using the installment plan. Give us a call to learn how.

LOS ARCOS AMPHITHEATER is a landmark in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This row of arches is a symbol of the city serving as a backdrop for its open-air theater and cultural performances during festivals and holidays. Across the street from the world famous arches in Puerto Vallarta are 12 blocks of some of Mexico's most famous eateries and shops. Mexico is a haven for artists. Enjoy it all on this cruise.

"WE EXERCISE EVERY DAY." says Bev Hinton of Temecula, CA. Bev is a popular Fun&FitnessTravelClub Fitness Host who highly recommends the benefits of exercising while traveling. "We make the most of each day while we travel together," says Bev. "First we exercise, then we spend our days on shore and at night we see Las Vegas like shows on board ship. What's not to like?"

HOW DO YOU TEST YOUR BALANCE? Exercises such as tai chi and yoga can improve your balance. The better balance you have the less likely you are to fall. The number one fear of seniors is the fear of falling. On a Fun&FitnessTravelClub cruise guests learn new ways to improve their balance through group exercises. One such class is taught by cruise Program Director Jim Seeley.

MATZATLAN, MEXICO every year celebrates Our Lady of Guadeloupe Feast Day. It is when Mexico celebrates its conversion to Catholicism, leaving behind the Aztec Indians' rituals. Celebrated throughout Mexico, it is perhaps no where more colorful than in Mazatlan, a city of 350,000. Before it became a world tourist destination, Mazatlan was already a prosperous port city in Mexico.

BRING YOUR BEST CAMERA when you snorkel in Mexico. Its waters are clear, its air dry and warm. November is the perfect month to vacation in Mexico. It's not too hot and it most certainly will not be too cold.

ROB AND CAROL NUTT of Alexandria, VA enjoy a cocktail at pool side on a recent cruise. "We've cruised with others, but none are more fun than the Fun&FitnessTravelClub," says Carol.

THE PARTHENON sits atop a hill overlooking Athens. This hill is called Acropolis, which means "upper city" in Greek. The Parthenon was the most perfect building built by the world's most advanced civilization at that time. Engineers today still do not know how it was possible then to have built such a perfect building in the world.

CAMELS DO NOT STORE WATER in their humps. Their humps are fatty deposits providing energy for when camels must go long periods of time without food. Actually, camels store water in their blood streams and can go 5 to 7 days without water. You can learn more about other myths on this Mediterranean cruise in 2009.

GODDESS ISIS in Ancient Egyptian mythology was the ideal mother and wife. She listened to the prayers of Emperors just as she listened to servants. Even in Rome temples and obelisks were erected in her honor. There is much to learn about Isis and other Egyptian Gods on this voyage to Athens, Alexandria and Istanbul. Some non-Christian religions in the world believe that Virgin Mary is simply a re-creation of Isis.

A MOSQUE AT DUSK overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. The Latin word Mediterranean means "middle of the land" which is appropriate for a sea 2,000 miles long and 600 miles wide connecting Europe, Asia and Africa. The Nile River of Egypt flows into it giving it even more mystery and magic. The Nile River is the most famous river in the world. Every known religion makes reference to it in its teachings.

HAIFA, ISRAEL is built on the slopes of Mount Carmel facing the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the world center for the Bahai faith, home to the Shrine of Bab (shown above). Jews, Christians and Muslims alike claim Israel as the birthplace of their religion.

THE TURKISH BAZAAR in Istanbul is for people who shop for sport. Covered for comfort, it contains 6,000 shops along 58 streets. Everyday some 400,000 shoppers from around the world come here looking for "a deal." All languages are spoken at this bazaar.

Cliff Crittenden

IT'S ALL TRUE! Everything you've heard about Bermuda's pink sand is authentic...and beautiful. The sand is pink because when tiny sea organisms with red skeletons die and fall to the bottom of the ocean they're ground up by undercurrents with white sea shells. Thrown onto the shore, Bermudans call it 'pink sand.'

Cliff Crittenden

Fun&FitnessTravelClub members each morning join in water exercises led by their favorite hometown water aerobics teachers who are escorting them on their cruises. After exercising in the ship's heated pools they gather together for breakfast and then take off to visit the day's new port of call.

Cliff Crittenden

IT'S NOT A MYSTERY who your dinner guests are each evening on a Fun&Fitness cruise. Guests are fellow water exercise students who travel together from recreation centers around the country. It's exciting to meet other water enthusiasts who share the same passion for water exercises and fun!

A SEA CAPTAIN BROUGHT IT BACK to Bermuda from China in 1860. The design appeared first in China many centuries ago. Today it's the national symbol of Bermuda. It's called a Moon gate. They are usually built near romantic scenes and gardens. Legend has it that couples who walk through a Moon gate. will have good luck for all their lifetimes.

WATER EXERCISES are held everyday of the cruise, in private, in the ship's indoor heated pool. Classes are led by instructors escorting their hometown students on the cruise. Classes are held in the mornings. A schedule of all exercise classes for the entire cruise is given out the first night at dinner. Guests are invited to participate in all the classes they like.

Cruises to Alaska sell out a year in advance. If you even think you might like to go, book now knowing you can cancel later for a full refund. Do not lose your chance to take this incredible cruise. A $250 deposit today reserves your cruise in September 2009, which is the warm, dry time to visit Alaska. Europeans are cruising to Alaska in droves. Come see it while it is still all-American.

DOG SLEDDING IN ALASKA pays tribute to the winter of 1925 when a deadly outbreak of diphtheria struck the children in Nome. The only serum that could save them was in Anchorage a thousand miles away. No airplane was available to take the serum, so 20 mushers volunteered to relay the medicine across the state from town to town. The lead dog on that sled team was Balto, who became a national hero after the success of the team's 50 below zero trek across Alaska. You can book a dog sled ride on this cruise too. Guests have said, "It is spectacular!'

Brian Kanof

TO BOOK LIMITED shore excursions like helicopter rides in Alaska it may be best to book them early on the Internet. To do so one needs a cruise booking ID. Call: 1-800-955-9942 to obtain it. You can also book all shore trips on board ship. While booking early on the Internet gives you all the advantages of booking early, it lacks one important benefit. The Internet gives no refunds. When you book shore trips on the ship you can always get your money back if anything stops you from going.

Brian Kanof

Bears live only north of the Equator. None are at the South Pole, only at the North Pole. And.....there are no penguins at the North Pole, only at the South Pole. More facts about nature are taught each day on this cruise.

Board the White Pass Train in Skagway. It's walking distance from the ship's pier. Hear all about Alaska's Gold Rush. Ride for 3 hours through Alaska's stunning mountains. Tickets cost about $100 per person. There is plenty of room for everyone. The most fun is when your group can share the same car.

Upon making a reservation you are given a cabin assignment. Final payment for it is due May 28, 2009. You may cancel your cruise at any time until this date without penalty.

You will understand why when you walk its pathways.

WHEN MAYAN INDIANS buried their dead they painted them red, wrapped them in straw mats, then put them in the ground under their family homes. Their servants were killed and buried with them too, along with their best jewelry and utensils to use in the next world. Sound familiar? It was 3,400 years earlier that Egyptians were doing the same thing. If you like archeology you'll love Mexico. See Monkeys too in Costa Maya's jungles.
