It's back! Royal Caribbean sets another Zumba cruise


The cruise where you spend your days doing dance-infused workouts is back.

Global fitness company Zumba has announced it's teaming with Royal Caribbean to hold a second official Zumba Cruise in early 2017.

The five-day sailing on Royal Caribbean's 3,114-passenger Navigator of the Seas will kick off April 23, 2017 in Miami and feature daily themed classes led by more than 50 of the top Zumba instructors from around the world.

Accompanied by live music and DJs, the classes will include sessions led by Zumba creator Beto Perez.

The first Zumba cruise, in early January, was a sell-out, the company said.

"We have been overwhelmed with requests to bring back the Zumba Cruise," Zumba CEO and co-founder Alberto Perlman says in a statement accompanying the announcement. "The experience with Royal Caribbean was truly one of a kind and a wild success.”

The sailing will include a visit to Nassau, Bahamas and Cozumel, Mexico.

Practiced by millions of people around the world, Zumba incorporates dance elements of hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue and mambo.

Fares for the Zumba cruise start at $885 per person, based on double occupancy, with lower fares available for three or more passengers sharing a room. More information is available at zumba-cruise.com.
