A British cruise company is launching what it claims is the world's first ocean liner holiday devoted to laughter therapy.

Ocean Village's Laugh Alive cruise sets sail in September and hopes to have passengers laughing all around the Mediterranean.

Workshops will range from laughter yoga, meditation and breath work, to comedy, improvisation and creative story telling.

The sessions are said to have numerous health benefits including the release of endorphins, which work as a natural mood enhancer.

Laughter therapy specialist Amanda Bate says laughter is an essential ingredient of a healthy, happy life and is one of the most effective and immediate antidotes to stress and tension.

"Adults need to learn how to laugh again and recapture their childhood playfulness and this is what we aim to capture on the Ocean Village Laugh Alive cruise," Bate said.

The Laugh Alive cruise departs from Palma and will be making stops in Tunis, Rome, Cannes, Barcelona and Ibiza. - Ananova
