"The Holistic Holiday at Sea™ cruise is a transforming experience. It's an opportunity to expand your knowledge and eat perfectly healthy foods while relaxing in the beautiful Caribbean. It wouldn't surprise me if you came back from your vacation a different person."

Health Travel – A Healthy Educational Cruise Experience

Health and travel are two powerhouse industries in the US economy. It is only logical to combine these two by offering healthy travel options for travelers who are interested in becoming educated about health and well-being. For decades the holistic educators at Holistic Holiday at Sea have been providing alternative health seminars and workshops at hotels and conference centers in southern Florida. These health seminars were very successful and popular with the local and regional holistic community; however, they did not attract the health traveler on a national or global level.

Taking Health Travel to the Sea

Sandy Pukel, the owner of Holistic Holiday at Sea, had a vision to take his health seminars to another level by creating a true health travel experience aboard a cruise ship. In the spring of 2004 his vision materialized with the first sailing of Holistic Holiday at Sea, the world’s first health cruise vacation. Combining health and travel like nothing before, cruise guests experience three healthy vegan meals each day; over 120 workshops and lectures by national and international holistic health experts to choose from; and numerous social events that allow the healthy minded guests to meet other likeminded people from their region and around the globe. In the years since its inception, the cruise has more than doubled in size and is now one of the largest gatherings of health travel enthusiasts in the world.

Health Travel Offerings

Aboard the Holistic Holiday at Sea health cruise, guests will have the opportunity to take cooking classes, learn about yoga, Pilates, shiatsu massage, integrative medicine, alternative medicine, Buddhist meditation, macrobiotics, vegan diets, and more, while meeting other likeminded, healthy travelers. Guests also have the opportunity to partake in traditional cruise activities such as spa treatments, gym, standard cruise dining, theater shows, live music, and beautiful, exotic ports of call.
