If you are the sporty type, then cruising is a great holiday for keeping you on your toes.
Most people expect a cruise to be a relaxing experience, but with a huge array of activities onboard most ships today, there is of plenty of opportunity for holidaymakers to also enjoy their favourite sports while at sea.
While the new mega-liners offer rock climbing, abseiling and ice skating, others provide a more manageable golf, tennis, aerobics and cricket experiences.
There are even more gentle activities such as deck quoits and shuffleboard, so there is usually something for everyone.
Most cruise lines offer onboard sports, but they do vary according to the cruise line and the ship. The more traditional and intimate ships tend to offer the more classical activities, such as swimming pools, fitness centres and deck games, while the superliners can offer a huge array more.
Some cruise lines also offer sporting-themed cruises, including Fred Olsen, Captain Cook Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Crystal and P&O Cruises.
