Oceania Cruises has debuted the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center—what the cruise line calls the most “comprehensive spa and wellness center at sea.” As part of the brand’s continued OceaniaNEXT enhancements, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center extends beyond a traditional spa, offering a collection of holistic wellness experiences both onboard and ashore. The concept will be introduced across all of its six ships this winter.
Here’s what the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center comprises:
Rejuvenating Treatments & Medi-Spa Services
Restorative Himalayan Salt Stone Massage
This restorative massage uses Himalayan salt stones, which improve mental alertness and overall wellbeing; warm salt stones are bathed in personally selected aromatics and help diffuse negative energy, reduce stress and alleviate muscle tension.
Acupuncture
An onboard acupuncturist is certified to treat an array of symptoms and conditions, such as insomnia, weight gain, anxiety and pain management.
Dysport Wrinkle Treatments
Soften fine lines and wrinkles on the upper face for a refreshed, youthful appearance; smoother-looking skin is visible within days and lasts up to four months.
