FFun&FitnessTravelClub members know each another from their own local recreation centers. They cruise together with instructors who already teach them at these centers. Cruise prices cover port charges, dining and entertainment, daily water exercises, tai chi, yoga, deck walking and dance lessons, along with many more activities offered by the cruise lines. For low cost air fares visit CheapAir.com. Bus transfers are available from many cities. Low cost travel insurance is also provided and is required to travel with this club. Assuming all conditions are met, the club's travel insurance covers the cost of the cruise, air fare (even non-refundable), lost luggage, trip delays, most medical care up to $10,000 and cancellation penalties. Ships do not accept Medicaid or Medicare payments.

 

A valid passport is required for travel. Staterooms are booked in upgraded categories (none on the lowest deck). Ocean View Staterooms have full picture windows (no port holes). Single occupancy rates are available, as are Junior Suites. Guests are given full refunds when they cancel at least 100 days before departure. No insurance is required for this benefit. Fun&FitnessTravelClub requires no fees or dues to join. But guests are encouraged to exercise at least once a day when traveling. The club's goal is to have fun while traveling together and to practice good health habits all along the way. Club members receive the very best cruise deals when cruising together in groups. And by booking early club members are assured prime, mid-ship Stateroom locations.

Cynthia Neu was a student in Jim Seeley's water aerobics class in McLean, VA., in 1998 when they decided for fun to take their class on a fitness cruise. The cruise was so popular the good news about it spread locally and then even nationwide. Fun&FitnessTravelClubhas more than 3,500 members today across the USA who cruise annually to exotic ports of call while participating in daily water exercises led by their own favorite hometown fitness teachers. "Wonderful!," is how guests describe their cruises.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines named the Fun&FitnessTravelClub its #1 Business Partner in the Mid-Atlantic States of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware last year. Recognized for its cruise deals, customer loyalty and its innovative way to promote fitness cruises, Royal Caribbean selected the popular Fun&FitnessTravelClub from among 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. Only those who book through the Fun&FitnessTravelClub may receive its total fitness cruise package. "We book our fitness cruises a year ahead of departure, assuring guests have the lowest prices and best cabin selections," says Travel Coordinator Cynthia Neu. "We do not offer 'cheap' cabins just before sailing," she says. "Such cabins are mostly sold on the Internet and are usually located near smoking sections or under the ships' theatres and night clubs. Cabins booked late are usually on the lowest level, at either end of the ship. They require long walks to dinner and to disembark for excursions. Such cabins are also more vulnerable to motion sickness because they are either far forward or far back on the ship. Because we reserve our cabins a year in advance they are in the best mid-ship categories. As soon as you book with us we confirm in writing where your stateroom is located. You can cancel anytime up to 100 days before departure with no questions asked and receive a full refund. No insurance is required for this benefit. Guests love this policy. So love to provide it."

SEATTLE'S SPACE NEEDLE is world famous for its views of the Emerald City and Mt. Rainer. Enjoy dinner while looking upon and circling the most educated city in the United States. More PhD's live in Seattle, WA than any where else in America. ( All photos by Cynthia Neu.)
Fall Foilage
VICTORIA ISLAND in Canada is home to 100 acres of the Butchart Gardens. The ship will stop all day in Victoria. Visitors can see these splendid gardens created by Robert Butchart who loved his wife, Jennie, with all his heart.....and with all his quarry.
Boat House
FUN & FITNESS Travel Club invites you to cruise the incredible Inside Passage of Alaska next fall. Early September is Alaska's driest, warmest season.
Fun Exercise Swim Class
FITNESS HOST Jim Seeley leads water exercises in the ship's indoor heated pool. Classes are held each morning before guests go ashore for their excursions. Plenty of exercise keeps everyone fit while they cruise.
Jim Teaching
DANCE LESSONS practiced in the late afternoon mean club members can be more sure of themselves when they go out again to dance at night. The ship will have a wide selection of dance clubs. Disco anyone?
NOODLES, WATER SAFETY BELTS and music are all provided by the FUN & FITNESS Travel Club when guests cruise together. Fitness Host Joyce Doucette of Points, W. VA enjoys applying yoga techniques to water exercises. "Water is always excellent for exercise," she says. "It allows you to exercise without hurting. And the less it hurts the more exercise you will do." Yoga classes are also held in addition to walking and dancing sessions.
Fenway Park in Boston
FUN & FITNESS Travel Club members like to learn. For example, Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith was a big-time con man who moved to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush to take advantage of naive prospectors. His most notorious con job was opening up a bogus telegraph office with poles and wires stretched out back into the forest. Lonely, homesick miners would come into his telegraph office and pay their last $5 to send a telegram home. Smith would alert them the next day their telegram had been answered by family members who needed money immediately. When the poor miners gave up their absolute last dollars to send home Smith would keep the funds for himself. This story and more, like the one about who really built the world famous White Pass Railway through Alaska, make a cruise vacation up to the top of America an unforgettable travel adventure.
Fenway Park in Boston
FUN & FITNESS Travel Club members can spend a day in Skagway when they cruise to Alaska. A favorite spot to visit is the Red Onion Saloon where guests can enjoy drinks, have lunch and learn how during the Klondike Gold Rush Days there was more than one way to "get rich." The ladies most highly sought after in Skagway had rooms in the Red Onion where they could entertain their favorite guests in private for as long as they wanted. Ladies newly arrived to Skagway had to carry their own half-bed suitcases. This made it easier for the more ambitious working girls because immediately upon agreeing on a price they and their clients could literally "get down to business" wherever they happened to be. Alaska in the late 1800s had many "new entrepreneurs" starting out. Some goods and services were worth their weight in gold, as many enterprising ladies found out.

BRING TWO SWIM SUITS when you cruise because a single suit rarely dries out overnight in your cabin. The humidity at sea is too high. That same humidity is very good for your skin. You come home refreshed from a Fun&Fitness cruise. Imagine a top spa at sea. You have just imagined the Fun&FitnessTravelClub. There are no public laundry facilities on on a cruise ship, but there is laundry service for a small fee. Careful packing is a requirement for travel today.

Cliff Crittenden

LEARNING ABOUT RAIN FORESTS encourages club members to be informed about the weather. For instance, trees with thick roots on top of the ground are stabilized by those roots and won't blow over in hurricanes. And vines that entwine smaller trees protect them from blowing over too. In addition to having water fitness, the Fun&FitnessTravelClub also offers learning opportunities like this walk in the Rain Forest of Belize.

More water exercise vacations are planned every month.
Check this site often for info about new upcoming fitness cruises and land tours.

All cruise and land tour prices are quoted per person, based on double occupancy. They do not include government departure taxes, custom fees or the service fees of approximately $98 total per person per trip. Prices do include early booking group discounts. Optional travel insurance in 2009 is available and highly recommended. Beginning in 2010 travel insurance will be required. Fun&Fitness cruises are for adults only. Minimum age to participate is 30. Only guests who book with Fun&Fitness may participate in its activities, including dining together. Fun&FitnessTravelClub is a private organization with no dues or membership fees. It does, however, encourage members to participate in daily exercise programs when traveling together. Membership is by personal invitation only. Ask your local water aerobics instructor how you and your classmates can join the club. Call 1-800-955-9942 for more information or call Fitness Host Coordinator Barb Batson at 1-800-500-8905 for details on how to encourage a fitness instructor you know to lead a fitness cruise. All water fitness enthusiasts are invited to participate.

Happy Sailing!
