Cruise into a Healthy New Year

New Year, New You? These 7 waterfront resorts will help you cruise into a healthy new year.

Across the nation on January 2nd, people swap alcohol for seltzer water, ditch fried food for leafy greens and flood into gym parking lots throughout the day with eager resolve. It’s no secret that prioritizing health and fitness is the most common New Year’s resolution. By the second week in February, however, statistics indicate that up to 80 percent of gym attendance has dropped off. Indeed, new habits can be difficult to maintain, especially when work and social schedules resume their frenetic pace. If you’re a cruiser who has committed to healthier goals in 2018, staying in resort-marinas with fitness facilities will support your healthy, new lifestyle. We’ve scoured the coast for resorts that offer health and wellness initiatives to keep you in tip-top shape during your voyages. Fitness should be fun, and these resorts intend to make 2018 your healthiest, most enjoyable (cruising) healthy new year yet.
