Cruise line gets your head out of the cloud

These days, you’d be hard pressed to spot more than a couple of tourists without their heads buried in their devices, and over at Travel Weekly, we’re much the same.

We’re all addicted to our phones, our tablets, our computers – it’s a wonder we see anything at all when we’re on holidays!

So Celebrity Cruises has a fresh antidote to the tech-overloaded world we live in, and it comes in the form of new and exclusive shore excursions.

‘Take Care of YourSelfie’ is a collection of wellness programs designed in partnership with New York Times best-selling author and digital trailblazer Randi Zuckerberg. First introduced in early 2015, the program is now being expanded to offer specifically designed holistic experiences on dry land.

“When on holiday, many of us have grown accustomed to literally experiencing a destination through a digital lens,” Zuckerberg said.

“With this new collection of shore excursions, finding a tech-life balance now can happen on land and at sea. These active experiences ensure that there is an opportunity to be fully engaged and present during your modern luxury holiday.”

Celebrity Cruises guests can rejuvenate and explore destinations like a local with unique experiences such as stand-up paddle, yoga, hydrobiking, cycling and canoeing in regions including Australia, the Caribbean and Europe.

“In our very connected culture, it can be challenging to take time and disconnect while on vacation, even for a moment” Celebrity Cruises’ president and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said.

“We have loved working with Randi to combine our expertise with hers and provide more ways for guests to enjoy their holiday and enrich their mind, body and soul with the Take Care of YourSelfie program.”

“Personally, I can’t wait to experience the new shore excursions, plus the incredible options from the curated spa and fitness menu that started it all.”

The seven new Take Care of YourSelfie shore excursions include:

Hot Spot – In Melbourne, Australia, guests can bathe and unwind as they soothe their tired hands and muscles in the natural thermal mineral waters at a local, award-winning coastal escape.
Power Core’d – On the Mediterranean waters in Ibiza, Spain, this guided Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) Yoga experience allows guests to engage in a complete mind and body workout and connect with the sea – and not the internet.
Ultimate ESCape –Guests will discover firsthand the thousand faces of the city of Naples, Italy by land and sea as they canoe through the exquisite Neapolitan blue waters and take a panoramic drive.
Morning SHIFT – Foregoing electronic devices, guests shift from the traditional fast pace of their routine with a light, guided morning jog through scenic Philipsburg, St. Maarten.
Power Cycle – Guests “sign off” from technology and explore the Roi’s Eco Park Lagoon on a hydrobike while burning calories and enjoying a tranquil, environmentally friendly ride through the crystal blue waters in Falmouth, Jamaica.
Reiki Recharge – Passengers rejuvenate by finding their Zen during a trainer-led meditation and yoga experience that takes place on the beautiful white-sand beaches of Roatan, Honduras.
Flash, Drive, and Ride – Guests unplug and embark on a panoramic bicycle tour of Valletta, Malta for an up-close look at the history and culture of Malta.
