I think one good way to live well is to travel well.
If you like your fitness and healthy lifestyle with a side of luxury, you're going to want to look into what Seabourn has to offer in the coming year.
Seabourn, the ultra-luxury cruise line, is offering two 2018 "Wellness Cruises" with Dr. Andrew Weil. Bound for Alaska and Greece, each voyage features experts in the field of integrative medicine and Dr. Weil, a celebrated physician and best-selling author who has partnered with Seabourn to introduce "Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil," an exclusive mindful-living program.
"As wellness tourism continues to grow, we know it is on the minds of many travelers these days, especially our Seabourn guests," says Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn. "With the remarkable success of the Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil program on our ships, we couldn't wait to have him onboard to create even more focused spa and wellness voyages to be enjoyed amid the remarkable destinations of Alaska and Greece. With the beauty and culture of these destinations as a backdrop, these wellness cruises reinforce our continuing focus on enhancing the lives of luxury travelers."
Both itineraries will feature panel discussions, complimentary wellness seminars and interactive sessions led by Dr. Weil and his team, which also includes the onboard Mindful Living coach. A selection of optional, for-charge shore excursions will also be offered, taking the wellness mindset to enriching destinations ashore.
"When you travel, exciting things happen to your mind, your body and your spirit. Your mind opens, your imagination and curiosity are aroused," Weil says. "I'm incredibly pleased to join some of my esteemed colleagues in the field of integrative medicine to offer this level of depth and enrichment onboard through an array of specially curated wellness options."
The first dedicated Wellness Cruise will explore Alaska on the Wellness in the Wilderness with Dr. Weil sailing on Seabourn Sojourn, June 16 to 28, 2018. The program features more than 20 lectures and demonstrations focused on healthy living.

Created via partnership between Seabourn and The Onboard Spa by Steiner, the program is led by an onboard Mindful Living coach, a certified yoga and meditation practitioner whose role is to inspire and educate passengers throughout the voyage. Complimentary Mind and Body seminars adapted from Dr. Weil's best-selling books and research are offered to educate on philosophies and practices aligned with the program's mission, while individualized one-on-one wellness sessions and other spa and wellness services are also available for a fee.
