I’m not saying the only way to see Sardinia is by cruise ship, but…

You could just fly to Sardinia to experience this street scene in Cagliari. Multi-hop flights aren’t THAT complicated.

I’m sure you can find a nice place to stay that won’t be too expensive, after all, Cagliari is a very popular tourist destination for Europeans.

And of course, the food will be fabulous, and not all of it is expensive.

Cruise lines that stop in Cagliari (at least occasionally) include: Silversea, MSC, Costa, Cunard, Oceania, Celebrity, Crystal, Regent Seven Seas, Ponant, Windstar, Star Clippers, Viking, Azamara, Explora Journeys, and Holland America

Find your strength today. It’s there. Maybe it’s hiding. Maybe it snuck in behind you while you were busy searching for something else.
Once you find it, build on it. Let it be the foundation and the thing you show the world.

This is my strength today. #strongerthanever #strongnotskinny #strongisthenewskinny #strongwomenrock #stronggirls #osteoporosisprevention #66andstrong #musclesaresexy #womensupportwomen #womenwithmuscle #findyourstrength #strengthtrainingforwomen by @melindacrow

You think a transatlantic cruise sounds so long. Yes, you get peaceful stretches of days at sea. Yet the time somehow flies by. It feels like you were just in Rome yesterday, but you’re pulling out of Nassau and heading for the final stop. If you ever get the chance to cross an ocean by cruise ship, do not hesitate. #cruise #transatlantic #transatlanticcruise #rome #madeira #nassau #cruisewriter #travel #travelwriter by @melindacrow

Game day is coming!! Sure, I know this isn’t about cruising or travel, but my page, my rules. If you know me, you know I’m kind of obsessed with the NFL. Let’s talk football! by @melindacrow

Cruise lines on wellness binges may surprise you. I’m winking at you, @VirginVoyages.

Cruise ships have always had fitness centers. But wellness cruising is a real thing these days. And why not? We intuitively know the sea heals us.

Picture morning Tai Chi at sea on the pool deck. Sparkling water on tap next to the therapy pool and infrared saunas to soothe away your post-workout soreness.

Taking advantage of equipment, facilities, instructors and yes, even healthy foods, on your cruise is an ideal way to jumpstart a new fitness program or stay the course of the one you’re on.

Nobody ever said you can’t take your wellness journey to sea. Pick a ship, pack your workout clothes and get cruise fit.

Details are in my latest story on Yahoo!Travel.

Who’s your favorite travel partner? You can follow mine @gacrow. He’s my compass, my anchor and clearly my favorite face card to play.

We’ve cruised, camped, spelunked, boated, and dived our way through life. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Go more. Experience more. Enjoy it more.
Life is too damn short not to.
