SPINNING CLASSES It’s all about pedalling with Norwegian Cruise Line’s Ryde spinning sessions ($20 for 45 minutes). Prices range from £7 for 55 minutes with Marella to $20 for 60 minutes with Royal Caribbean. Celebrity’s Peloton exercise bikes on Edge allow passengers to plug into spinning classes streamed from Peloton HQ in New York. It’s $99 (plus 18% gratuity) for a fitness package (free for passengers in top suites).


BIKE RIDES For clients who prefer the real thing when it comes to cycling, river cruise lines including Crystal River Cruises, AmaWaterways, Uniworld and Emerald carry bikes. Scenic ships carry e-bikes, while Avalon is adding them to its current collection of cycles. Regent Seven Seas has two new e-bike tours for 2020. One takes passengers through hilly
