Fort Lauderdale - January 8, 2008 - Maintaining personal health and fitness in today's fast-paced world requires innovative strategies from the experts. Regent Seven Seas Cruises, voted the world's #1 small-ship operator by readers of Condé Nast Traveler, will provide guests with a means to achieve physical and mental well-being with a June Alaska voyage featuring celebrated doctor, spiritualist and life-extension guru Dr. Deepak Chopra, who will host "Grow Younger, Live Longer" aboard 700-guest, all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas Mariner®.
"Grow Younger, Live Longer," developed by Chopra and Dr. David Simon, co-founders of the Chopra Center, draws on the timeless cultural traditions of the East, as well as modern discoveries in quantum physics, plus Chopra's and Simon's many years of personal and professional experience. The program offers a transformative 10-step process designed to "reverse" participants' biological age through instruction in areas including stress management, relationship fulfillment, cultivating a youthful mind, sexual vitality, restful sleep and optimal nutrition.
"Aging isn't inevitable, and those who join us on our Alaskan cruise will learn how to transform the way they look, feel, and live their lives," said Dr. Chopra. "Whether you're communing with a brown bear or bonding with a glacier, these are simple reminders of your timeless, ageless self."
"Grow Younger, Live Longer" also features instruction in primordial Sound Meditation and Chopra Center yoga; Pilates, calisthenics and movement; plus meditation and Ayurvedic cooking classes. A native of New Delhi, India, Chopra is former Chief of Staff at The New England Memorial Hospital and Boston Regional Medical Center. His revolutionary health and wellness principles were first outlined in his 1986 book, Creating Health, and were expanded in Quantum Healing (1989) and Perfect Health (1991). He has also addressed spiritualism's effect on mental and physical health in The Book of Secrets (2004) and Life After Death: The Burden of Proof (2006).
Departing from Seward, Alaska on June 4, Seven Seas Mariner will cruise to historic Sitka and Juneau, plus the gold-rush era town of Skagway and Ketchikan, before ending in Vancouver, B.C. This seven-day journey is highlighted by scenic cruising of majestic Hubbard Glacier, Alaska's longest tidewater glacier, and Tracy Arm, featuring tidewater glaciers and steep, 2,000-foot granite walls rising out of the water. "Grow Younger, Live Longer" must be pre-purchased by contacting Regent's Reservations department and costs $1,955 per person, exclusive of cruise fare.
