Royal Caribbean Nigeria has urged Nigerians seeking a refreshing summer getaway to consider cruise holidays, saying it is a convenient way to explore multiple destinations without the hassle of repeatedly packing and unpacking.
The call comes amid growing recognition of the importance of leisure and recreation to human well-being.
The World Leisure Organisation states that leisure plays an essential role in individual, community and national development, contributing to quality of life and overall well-being.
Numerous researches also linked regular holidays to improved health outcomes, suggesting that people who skip vacations may miss out on benefits ranging from better heart health and a lower risk of metabolic disorders to increased longevity.
A 2025 review of 32 previous studies published in the Journal of Applied Psychology also found that the positive effects of vacations on well-being are both significant and long-lasting.
