T oday’s cruising boom is good news for everyone, from aficionados who love setting sail to those ready

to give a new vacation style a go. And as cruising’s popularity grows – a projected 27 million people took a cruise in 2018 – cruise lines have diversified.

It’s all about variety these days, not just in ship size – ranging from intimate 60-passenger yachts to next-level 6,000-person mega-vessels – but in style too. You can sip coffee on your balcony as you float down a European river, go searching for wildlife on an expedition ship, or get lost in a floating city at sea. Itineraries, too, are more creative: Onboard culinary academies and wellness centers, for example, pair well with surprising shore excursions, from hiking up mountains to attending orchestra concerts. These 13 experiences are offered by cruise lines that participate in Virtuoso Voyages – an exclusive program that offers complimentary benefits and perks to travelers who book cruises through a Virtuoso travel advisor – and they’ll make you think twice about what you can do on your next cruise. Welcome to the new era of cruising, where almost everything goes.

1GET YOUR DAILY CARDIO IN.You’ve worked too hard to let your fitness routine slide for a week. Do as

much (or as little) as you like with AmaWa-terways, the river cruise line that stables bicycles for shore excursions and employs dedicated wellness hosts to lead core- and

Bicycle tours on the Danube with AmaWaterways.

circuit-training classes on board. On the new 196-passenger AmaMagna, which debuts in May and will be twice as wide as most river ships, cruisers can log a mile on the top-deckwalking track, take a stretching class in the Zen Wellness Studio, hydrate at the juice bar, or get a massage. Disembark on an eight-day, Vilshofen-to-Budapest Danube River sailing to bike along the river or hike to a castle. Depar-tures: Multiple dates, May 5 through December 29. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include an onboard host and a guided tour of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace.

2 STAY OUT UNTIL 2 am WITHOUT

FEAR OF MISSING THE BOAT. Azamara Club Cruises pioneered overnight port stays, letting guests revel in the local nightlife in addition to the standard daytime scene. The boutique cruise line is amping up its after-dark experi-ences with a new series of exclusive evening shore excursions, such as catching the Saint Petersburg Symphony Orchestra in Russia or

taking in an acrobatics performance in Va-lencia, Spain. On an 11-day, round-trip-from-Athens sailing on the 690-passenger Azamara Pursuit, travelers can attend a traditional Jewish folk music performance by a klezmer group at Jerusalem’s Ashdod Performing Arts Center. It’s part of an immersive three-day stop in the holy city that includes visits to

3EXPLORE MARINE LIFE FROM INSIDE A $3 MILLION SUBMARINE.

Realize your James Bond fantasies with a trip on Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Esprit, a 62-passenger yacht that touts a three-per-son submersible as one of its water-based activity options. (Jet Skis, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards are also at the ready.) A pilot takes two passengers at a time on explorations 3,000 feet below

the surface, including on a seven-day, Dubrovnik-to-Venice sailing. The Esprit is an ideal vessel for scuba divers and snorkel-ers, and its small size means it can call on smaller ports, including the yacht marina in Kotor, Montenegro; Croatia’s walled city of Dubrovnik; and all the way north to Venice. Departures: July 7, August 25, and September 8. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include a $125 shipboard credit. Submarine experience, $350.

4SET SAIL WITH YOUR PUP IN TOW.Crossing the Atlantic on Cunard’s

eight-day, New York City-to-Southamp-ton jaunt is slow travel at its finest – rest,

relaxation, and enrichment, from tango lessons and yoga sessions to film screenings and music recitals. Share the adventure with your four-legged BFF on the 2,620-passen-ger Queen Mary 2, which has an onboardkennel for 24 pets. Like their owners, cats and dogs receive VIP treatment, including a portrait session, a fleece coat, and a “turn-down service” of freshly baked biscuits. The pet lounge and play area welcomes animals from both sides of the pond with a Liver-pool lamppost and an NYC fire hydrant. Departures: Multiple dates, January 3 through December 8. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include private port transfers in New York City and London and an onboard specialty dining credit.

5FINALLY FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JULIENNE

AND A BRUNOISE CUT. Make tasty use of your time at sea on Oce-ania Cruises’ 1,250-passenger Marina or Riviera ships by enrolling in a cooking class or three at the onboard Culinary Center. Kick things off with Slice: Mastering Chef Knife Skills to learn the basics of mise en place before trying your hand at making pasta or grilling. The 12-day, Rio de Janei-ro-to-Buenos Aires voyage on the Marina offers a balanced diet of cultural excursions in Paraty, Brazil; beach time in Punta del Este, Uruguay; and food and wine tours in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Departure: December 7. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include prepaid gratuities.

6SPEND ALL DAY AT THE SPA.Bookending stops in Sint Maarten, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, and

Saint Bart’s, four of the 11 days on RegentSeven Seas Cruises’ round-trip-from- Miami journey on the 750-passenger Seven Seas Explorer are spent at sea, offering prime time to find some inner peace in the ship’s full-service Canyon Ranch spa. This at-sea outpost mirrors the famous destination retreat, with yoga classes, seaweed wraps, hot stone massages, reflexology, and hydrother-apy features ranging from saunas to cold rooms. Between oxygen facials and pedicures, check out the ship’s impressive art collection, including several Picassos, or learn about the healthful secrets of Mediterranean cooking in the Culinary Arts Kitchen. Departure: January 8, 2020. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sail-ings include an onboard welcome reception, and a $150 shipboard credit or a private shore excursion and lunch in Saint Bart’s.

7CELEBRATE YOUR ANNI- VERSARY WITH A POLYNESIAN BLESSING CEREMONY.

Cast away to the South Pacific for the most memorable of occasions aboard the 332-pas-senger Paul Gauguin with Paul GauguinCruises. During an eight-day, round-trip-from-Papeete sailing through the Society Islands – full of archaeological sites, lagoons fit for snorkeling, and white-sand beaches – local onboard hosts known as Les Gauguines and Les Gauguins can bless couples in a tra-ditional Polynesian ceremony by reciting a love poem, singing, and, after a Champagnetoast, wrapping celebrants in a traditional patchwork tifaifai quilt. They’ll also teach you how to say “I do” in Tahitian, dance island style, and make a basket out of pandanus leaves. Departures: Multiple dates, January 5 through December 28. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include an onboard host and welcome reception and a $150 shipboard credit or a private shore excursion in Moorea.

8DISCUSS ASIAN HISTORY WITH A COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

There’s nothing like sailing with an astro-naut, scholar, or filmmaker to vanquish the shuffleboard-and-buffets cruising stereotypes. Seabourn raises the intellec-tual bar with its Seabourn Conversations series, featuring notable guests who don’t just lead onboard lectures, but engage with fellow passengers over meals and excur-sions as well. Ben Taggie, a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, will educate guests on the 599-passenger Seabourn Ovation during a 14-day, Hong Kong-to-Singapore cruise around Thailand and Vietnam. Passengers will tour ener-getic Bangkok, barbecue on an unspoiled Thai beach, and more. Departure: March 2. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include an onboard welcome reception and a $150 shipboard credit or a shore excursion in Da Nang.

9TURN YOUR EXPEDITION PHOTOS INTO MASTERPIECES.Go beyond VSCO and your smart-

phone’s filters: The fully equipped Photo Studio aboard Silversea Cruises’ 254-pas-senger Silver Cloud offers master classes in composition, editing, and Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop programs. High-tech printers encourage shutterbugs to create postcards and panoramic prints, regardless of whether they were taken using an iPhone or a DSLR. Photograph the wildlife that inhabits the bottom of the earth on a ten-day, round-trip-from-Ushuaia expedi-tion to Antarctica. The ship’s resident photo manager will coach passengers on adjusting shutter speeds so they can capture images of seabirds in the Drake Passage, penguins on the South Shetland Islands, and otherworldly icebergs in the Antarctic Sound. Departures: Multiple dates, January 16 through December 10. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include a $300 shipboard credit per person.

LEARN HOW TO STEER A SAILBOAT. Sixteen sails bound to four masts

help power the 360-foot Star Flyer clipper ship, one of three throwback vessels in the Star Clippers fleet. Nautical culture meets luxury aboard this 170-passenger vessel, which has two swimming pools on its teak decks. Friendly deckhands, who hoist the sails manually each time the ship leaves port, offer knot-tying classes, ship-maneuvering lectures, and demon-strations on navigating with a sextant – a tool to measure angular distances at sea. Test your newfound skills on a 15-day, Barbados-to-Panama voyage, which visits the Grenadines, Grenada, the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao), and Colom-bia, and culminates in a sailor’s dream tran-sit through the Panama Canal. Departure: November 23. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include a $150 per stateroom shipboard credit.

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME ON THE NILE RIVER. From the hand-built pyramids at

Giza to tranquil Nile excursions aboard a traditional felucca, travelers will revel in the ingenuity of past centuries during their time in Egypt. Seven of the 12 days on UniworldBoutique River Cruise Collection’s round-trip-from-Cairo itinerary are based on the elegant 82-passenger River Tosca. Egyptologist-guided excursions decode the colossal statues of Memnon, the mummified remains of King Tutankhamun in his Valley of the Kings tomb, and the hieroglyphics adorning temples from Luxor to Aswan. Changing pace, ride a felucca and take tea at the hotel where Agatha Christie set Death on the Nile. Go now, while tourism is growing, but before the masses return. Departures: Multiple dates, January 5 through December 28. Virtuoso Voyages benefits on select sailings include a $200 shipboard credit per person.

FOLLOW IN THE FOOT- STEPS OF MOZART AND OTHER COMPOSERS.

Was it something in the Danube River’s water – in the ripple of the waves or the movement of its current – that inspired some of Europe’s greatest classical composers? Explore music theory visually and aurally on Tauck’s 12-day, Budapest-

to-Prague Danube River adventure on the 130-passenger Savor or Joy. The seven-day sailing, which visits ports in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, begins and ends with a pair of two-night stays inBudapest and Prague.

EARTH BOUNDCruise lines and environmentally focused groups unite to celebrate and protect our planet.

Clockwise from left: Gauguin cruises Moorea, Planet Earth II in Concert, and a tree grows in the Galápagos.

GREENINGTHE GALÁPAGOSSanta Cruz Island’s lush cloud forest is home to the largest of 15 Scalesia species found in the Galápagos. These native trees and shrubs, which provide sanctuary to numerous types of endemic birds, are often compared to Darwin’s finches for their remarkable adaptability to the archipelago’s different vegetation zones. Scalesia are among the 30,000-plus seedlings planted in Santa Cruz’s Los Gemelos highlands as part of an ongoing collaborative effort between Celebrity Cruises and Galápagos National Park. Celebrity passengers and crew members alike have taken part in the reforestation

project, which aims to restore areas affected by humans and invasive plants. Their enthusiasm and hard work have helped the program exceed its initial goal by more than 150 percent so far.

MUSIC OF THE SPHEREAn indri – the world’s largest lemur – performing aerial acrobatics in Madagascar’s forest and a fearless giraffe escaping a lion trap set in the Namib desert are just a few of the stars in BBC Earth’s hit documentary series Planet Earth II. Their feats are even more amazing when accompanied by a live orchestra during Planet Earth II in Concert, now showing on most Holland America Line ships. The new multimedia

production, which combines incredible nature footage from the series with music from Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, complements additional BBC Earth programming on board.

GAUGUIN GONE WILDProtecting the world’s last intact wild places begins with education. Paul Gauguin Cruises, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society, offers families the Stewards of Nature program. While aboard the 332-passenger Gauguin, kids and parents may enjoy naturalist-led excursions, activities such as dolphin-spotting or snorkeling, games, and more.

The new progres-sive meal is available on all of the line’s European super ships and highlights locally sourced ingredi-ents; on an eight-day, round-trip-from-Paris sailing, for example, the menu features beef roulade, fresh seafood small bites, and more. Departures: Multiple dates through November 4, 2019.

l Silversea’s new wine ambassador, winemaker Lawrence d’Almeida, will host a handful of upcoming wine-centric voyages, during which he’ll lead onboard lectures/tastings (“I don’t believe in talking about wine without a glass in hand,” he says) on the history and evolution of the drink. He’ll also oversee vin-tage-oriented shore excursions to vineyards around the globe, includ-ing several in Australia on a 14-day, Sydney-to-Bali sailing aboard the 382-passenger Silver Whisper. Departure: February 2, 2019.

l This year, the class schedule in the Culinary Centers on board Oceania Cruises’ 1,250-passenger Marina and Riviera ships increased by 16 options, with new courses schooling passengers in the art of Scandinavian cuisine, handmade pasta prep, crepe making, and more. Home cooks can even sharpen their knife skills on the Riviera during a ten-day, round-trip-from-Miami cruise to Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Antigua, and other Caribbean ports of call.

Honey, HoneyActivist, a new, sustainably produced raw manuka honey brand, has well-ness aficionados buzzing. Founded by Kiwi couple Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood, the company is based in New Zealand – where manuka honey is exclusively produced by manuka-bush-pollinating bees – and in California. Celebrated for its antimicrobial properties, the honey is said to promote healing and help reduce inflammation. Activist’s honey comes in three varieties: The 100+ MGO (methylglyoxal) and 300+ MGO grades are good for cooking and stirring into beverages, and the 850+ MGO medicinal grade can be used to treat scratches, keep travel bugs at bay, or even as a soothing face mask. activistmanuka.com.
