Cruise For Fitness Fanatics? Blue World Voyages

Problem
Advantages outweighed by disadvantages.
Advantages
Cruises are a great idea - pack you clothes including evening closes, no need to unpack every night. All meals and food laid on. No need to drive. Family can't go off and get lost. Make friends on day one you can find them again on day two.

Disadvantage
Buffet meals - and you'll all put on weight. Your sporty family would rather be on a sporty holiday.

Solution
Blue Voyages - cruising for sports and fitness enthusiasts.

I have written to them asking for more information.

Very interesting. Not clear to me. Ship not yet built? (Or adapting an existing ship?) When will it launch? Where will it go, which countries or activities ashore? Only 350 passengers - small so that is why it can go places the bigger ships can't go?

What will a voyage cost? Aimed at singles, couples, adults, the retired or families or everybody?

What is the cheapest option - off-season, cabin for two? Only 7 days cruises? No long weekends for busy people or birthdays. 

Is there an office for those who want to work and then exercise - or wifi in a cabin with a work desk with two chairs, or chairs for every bunk. (Some hotels give one chair so couples have to take turns at working.)

Kind regards

French word of the day - physique

Good physique is a word which is good French and good English. This French word of the day was found in an online newspaper article from a UK publication: physique. The word means your general shape and implied fitness. Better physique is better shape.

I also read a comment from a reader, au contraire (to the, or more correctly, on the contrary).

I looked up words which end with French suffix i q u e .

I could think of pique (pick - prickly, annoyance) and the French version of Monica, Monique.
