Pick Up A New Skill On A Cruise Holiday

By Claire Collins


When we're busy with work, or feeling tired and just need a break, we tend to start daydreaming about a holiday. But while for some this means travel, and relaxation, others enjoy finally having that time to learn a language, try out new recipes, or pick up a new skill. The good news is, you can do all three.

With so many people looking to get something more out of their break, the cruise industry has literally taken this on board - with fun and practical classes available to cruise holiday passengers. Below are some of the classes on offer:

If you're travelling on one of the Crystal Cruises holidays, then you'll have the opportunity to sign up for one of the classes in their Creative Learning Institute. There is also the Crystal Visions range of seminars, with motivational speakers and recognisable people who come to speak on board. The classes range from art, languages, music and health, so whatever you're interested in you'll find something to suit.

If you are travelling on one of the Princess Cruises holidays then you could always take part in their educational programme, called Scholarship@Sea. Learn about photography, computers, cooking, pottery and more. There is a charge for these courses but they're well worth it, however, if you're looking for discount cruises and don't want to spend on any extras, you can always attend the free educational talks that are held on the ship.

There is also the Celebrity Cruises' course structure called Celebrity Life, which offers a range of classes in three main categories: Savor (food and beverages), Discover (learning new and useful skills) and Renew (health and wellbeing). Whether you want to learn how to mix the perfect cocktail, figure out how to use Photoshop, pick up the basics of a foreign language, or learn some new tips for a longer, healthier life, you can do it all on board Celebrity cruise ships!
