When sailing with Regent Seven Seas Cruises®, the Unlimited Shore Excursions bring travelers into the heart of port cities, revealing the regions through the eyes of a local. An intriguing part of these journeys are Regent’s Wellness Tours, customized experiences designed to enrich the mind, body, and soul. With more than 50 Wellness Tours to choose from, guests can maintain an active and healthy lifestyle while discovering ancient practices and learning new techniques and flavors. Here are just 10 of the captivating experiences.
1. Practice traditional tai chi in the serene urban park of Viharn Sien Park in Chonburi, Thailand. The ancient form of exercise, described as “meditation in motion,” improves strength, flexibility, and balance.
2. Meditate with a Buddhist monk at Bangkok’s Wat Pathum Wanaram, also known as the Lotus Temple. Here, you’ll observe monastic life and learn ancient techniques of mindfulness and enlightenment.
3. Bicycle through the medieval heart of Bordeaux, taking in the Roman amphitheater, the Royal Cailhau gate, and the Grand Theatre along the way, stopping to experience local fruits, cheese, and wine.
4. Practice yoga and mat Pilates on the lawn along the historic Cairns Esplanade in Queensland, Australia, followed by healthy snacks at a nearby restaurant.
5. Immerse yourself in a therapeutic mud bath at an outdoor spa and hot spring in Nha Trang, Vietnam. After you’re thoroughly relaxed, rinse off under an invigorating waterfall.
6. Participate in a Kandyan dance session with a guru in Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka. The traditional form of therapy originated in the nearby city of Kandy and is said to maximize energy and relieve stress.
7. Soothe your feet with reflexology while sailing down Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River on a rice barge.
8. Sample organic tea that’s grown in the Vietnamese mountains for more than 2,000 years, then enjoy a traditional vegetarian meal in Saigon, Vietnam.
9. In an ancient Chinese village, experience a Chinese Medicine treatment such as acupuncture, cupping therapy, or moxibustion to restore the body-mind balance.
10. Feel the rejuvenating effects of being covered in warm black volcanic sand on the beaches of Ibusuki, Japan. The sand is naturally heated from the underground hot springs, creating benefits that include improved blood circulation, detoxification, and increased blood-oxygen levels.
Elevate your journey with holistic wellness tailored to you.

Wellness at sea? Ultimate Experiences Editor-in-Chief Erin Lentz shares four reasons to sail with Windstar Cruises, stat!

Since then, I've traveled to 50+ countries on six continents. In 2017, I traveled around the world and visited 23 countries – I spent more than a month in Italy and England and also enjoyed time in Israel, Japan, France and Morocco.
