Combine Your Group’s Pickleball and Cruising Passions

Pickleball is an ideal choice for a group, offering a fun, inclusive, and engaging experience. As a relatively easy sport to learn, it's suitable for players of all ages and skill levels, encouraging a sense of camaraderie and friendly competition. Pickleball's low-impact nature makes it gentle on the joints, while its physical activity benefits overall health.

Combining pickleball with a cruise offers your group a unique and unforgettable experience. Imagine playing your favorite sport in stunning destinations while enjoying the luxury and convenience of a cruise ship. Connect with like-minded people from around the world and build lasting friendships. Play on state-of-the-art pickleball courts and take advantage of the wide range of activities and amenities offered on board.

Pickleball and cruising offer a perfect blend of health benefits, stress reduction, social opportunities, and pure fun. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, a pickleball cruise is a fantastic way to enjoy your favorite sport while making unforgettable memories.

Cruise Lines that Offer Pickleball Activities

Most popular cruise lines now offer pickleball courts, with some even featuring regulation-sized courts. Before booking, be sure to check the specific amenities offered by your chosen cruise line, as some may utilize existing sports courts.

In addition to pickleball courts, many cruise lines have added complimentary open play sessions to their daily programs. If there's enough interest, they may also organize tournaments. Remember to inquire about equipment availability, as some cruise lines provide it while others require you to bring your own.

Since 2022, Holland America has been the exclusive cruise line partner of the Professional Pickleball Association. As such, they offer complimentary beginner lessons, tournaments, and branded pickleball merchandise. They also offer "How to Play Pickleball" tutorial videos on your in-cabin TVs!
