BlueCruise will visit all five original blue zones, conducting interviews with local populations to gather firsthand data on longevity practices.

The expedition aims to identify best practices for longevity and actively invites researchers to contribute to its findings.

The initiative raises questions about the reliability of demographic data associated with blue zones, which include regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Ikaria.

Although not formally affiliated with academic institutions, BlueCruise operates as a citizen-science project, collecting real-time data on longevity.

BlueCruise is an 18-month expedition focused on exploring longevity practices and analyzing the data behind the blue zones model.

The initiative is spearheaded by Dr. Tobias Reichmuth, a Swiss longevity investor, and Aleksandra Jovanovic, a commodity trader and wellbeing entrepreneur.

Meals on the expedition are crafted by longevity chef Merlin Dettwiler, who tailors dishes to meet individual health needs.

Critics have expressed concerns regarding the methodological robustness of the blue zones model, particularly the accuracy of census records and statistical interpretations.

Managed by Ocean Independence, the expedition emphasizes sustainability, incorporating ethical textiles into its operations.

Participants will benefit from health diagnostics and personalized wellness strategies provided by health firms Ayun and Powercube.

To enhance health and recovery, the initiative includes supplementation with products from AVEA Life and KAEX.
