Although you may start to gain inches after dining in one of the venues of the Dawn Princess, there are plenty of opportunities on this ship to work off the extra calories. You can participate in a fitness program, called CruiserCash, in which you earn rewards for taking part in various activities on the ship. At the end of the cruise you can redeem these points for prizes. There is a daily schedule for activities and events and the Princess Patter keeps you up to date with all the tournaments.

In the Oasis Spa, you can take various types of fitness classes. The aerobics classes are free of charge, but there may be a small fee associated with classes in Pilates, Yoga, stretching and others. All are taught by qualified instructors who will gladly offer you assistance and advice.

The wide range of fitness equipment that include free weights, resistance machines and cardio equipment allows you to work out on a variety of machines. There is a personal trainer on every cruise who will design a workout program just for your needs at a reasonable fee. This will give your fitness routine the jumpstart it needs so that you can continue at home.

Take a walk or a jog around the Promenade Deck where three laps of the track make a mile. With the astounding views you have from this track, it is quite possible that you will walk farther than a mile each day or maybe several times a day because the view is always changing.

Test your driving skills on challenging golf courses with the golf simulator on the ship. If you want to enjoy scuba diving while on one of your shore excursions, the Dawn Princess has a diving program on board that will give you your diving certification. You can also take snorkelling lessons on the ship and be prepared to explore the underwater world of the ports of call.

There is a sports court on the Sun Deck where you can play basketball, volleyball, paddleboard, shuffleboard and badminton. There is no better way to get your heart pumping and burn off those calories than by playing with your friends in this venue.

The treatments at the spa provide you with all the pampering you need to feel ready to take on the world when you return home. Detoxify in the sauna and steam rooms and enjoy the healing hands of the technicians of this venue. Have your hair styled to perfection or have a manicure or pedicure in the Beauty Salon. This venue is not just for the ladies as men can also enjoy these services as well.
