The Low Carb Cruise, started by Debbie Hubbs, aims to educate passengers on low-carbohydrate diets, which helped her maintain a healthy weight for decades. After meeting someone online in 2008, they invited others from their weight-loss chat group to join a cruise, leading to the inaugural sail featuring 30 participants. Over the years, attendance has surged, with more than 360 people joining a recent cruise.
The cruise, primarily on Royal Caribbean ships, includes seminars with health professionals discussing a range of topics related to low-carb diets. Passengers participate in various group activities, creating a sense of community, and the event attracts attendees from around the world.
Participants, like Michelle Hall, share personal stories, navigating their weight loss journeys and finding motivation through shared experiences. The cruise emphasizes enjoyment and inclusivity, allowing freedom in meal choices without judgment. For many, the voyage isn’t just about dieting—it’s about building connections and discovering new lifestyles.
