I love a bit of exercise, and whilst we went for long walks at each of the available ports, the extra indulgences consumed within the restaurant and lounge bar would need further working off, if I was to be the same size when I disembarked.
TL;DR
The setup of the Havila gym and fitness room is the same on each ship. In this blog post, we'll delve into what is available on Havila ships in terms of exercise, describing the set up and how they tend to be used.
Its lovely to work out with a view - and with the machines positioned along the windows - you don't miss out on the panoramic view whilst taking some exercise.
Location and Practical Advice
Here is the information that I wanted to see before boarding the ship;
There are two exercise rooms on deck 7
Cardio - has 2 treadmills, 2 bikes, and a rowing machine
Strength training - free weights, benches and weight machine
Whilst the areas are quite small - my wife found space for an online pilates class
They are shared spaces - so we were able to exercise together
We never found them shut
There are no changing facilities or cabinets
The view is excellent
Each room could accommodate 4 people comfortably
Using the Havila Gym
Having spent a little time exercising, so much for the good intentions, here are my tips;
Before going glance in to make sure its not crowded. We always found that it was quite empty when we wanted to use it.
Stay hydrated, there is a water machine outside with room temp water and cold water.
Pop out to the deck for a quick blast of refreshing cold air - if you get too hot.
Clean down the equipment after use with the spray and paper towels available
Additional towels are available from guest services.
Final Thoughts
'Everything in moderation' - that was my intention setting out on the trip, we had a great time, just regret not burning off those calories as I went along with more visits to the gym.
Happy travels!
