More than 360 people joined last year’s Alaska Low Carb Cruise, where the latest sailing offered seminars from an oncologist, cardiologist and internal-medicine physician on cancer, metabolic health and food addiction.
Debbie Hubbs, 73, said she helped launch the cruise after low-carb eating succeeded where decades of dieting had failed, and the event now teaches reduced-carbohydrate approaches rather than one rigid plan.
20 sailings in, the cruise has grown from about 30 people on its first trip in 2008 into a repeat gathering on mostly Royal Caribbean ships, combining shared meals, activities and conference sessions.
Passengers and organizers said the main draw is community, with attendees from countries including Iceland, South Africa and Australia and a stated rule that there is 'no low-carb police' onboard.
