Europa 2 to Debut IN2BALANCE Wellness Program

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has announced that it will offer the new IN2BALANCE wellness program onboard the Europa 2 on six selected cruise routes through March 2018. 

The program will bring experts including Jonathan Hippensteel, an American personal trainer, fitness coach and ‘Ironman finisher’; Patrick Broome, yoga trainer for the German national football team; Holger Stromberg, chef for the national team; and professional boxers Regina Halmich and Sven Ottke onboard to present new training and relaxation techniques to guests. Presentations will incorporate yoga, burn-out prevention, t’ai chi, shiatsu, interval training and more. Experts and trainers will also address the latest trends in areas such as nutrition.

The first IN2BALANCE program will take place on a cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore in March 2017. Yoga trainer Patrick Broome will teach guests about various types of yoga, while star chef Holger Stromberg will shed light on the latest trends for health-conscious nutrition in cookery workshops and presentations. Boxing courses by former boxing world champion Regina Halmich and former professional boxer Sven Ottke will provide an active way to find balance. Jonathan Hippensteel, an American personal trainer, marathon runner and multiple Ironman participant, will also be onboard. 

Other experts who will be designing the program for future IN2BALANCE cruises include DJ Raphael Marionneau, who will offer yoga sessions set to live DJ music and Katrin Täubig of Healing Home Design, who will run courses on interior design and furnishing according to feng shui. Qualified sports coach Markus Roßmann will also offer workshops with fasciae training and the “Fascial Walk”, his self-developed and highly-effective walking method.
