Everyone makes that New Year’s resolution: “I will go to the gym more and eat healthier.” For most of us, come February 1, that decision is a distant memory.

So what’s the best way to get people to shape up? Stick them on a boat in the middle of the ocean and make them eat healthy.

All those New Year’s resolution dodgers could have a chance to get fit with a new cruise from the NBC hit The Biggest Loser. The show has left the ranch and headed to the high seas with the inaugural Biggest Loser Experience Cruise, which will set sail this November.

The seven-day cruise aboard Celebrity Cruise’s Celebrity Eclipse ocean liner will sail round trip from Miami, Florida on Saturday, November 12 and head to San Juan, Puerto Rico; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten, including three days at sea, before heading back to Miami.

Guests can rub elbows with trainer Bob Harper, who will give a two-hour keynote speech about exercise, healthy living, getting motivated and removing roadblocks to success.

He will also join guests for a VIP meet-and-greet cocktail hour. Additional speakers and former fan favorite contestants from The Biggest Loser will be announced in the coming months.

The Biggest Loser Experience Cruise is licensed through NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products and Reveille, LLC, the company behind The Biggest Loser. NBCUniversal and Reveille have joined with Life Journeys, a travel-event production company, to co-produce the event.
