Responding to a growing interest in wellness experiences, Oceania Cruises offers more than 50 Wellness Discovery Tours in destinations throughout Asia, Europe and South America. This signature collection of tours offers opportunities to engage with centuries-old healing traditions, mindfulness practices and local cultures across the globe.
"Travel has become one of the most powerful ways people invest in their wellbeing. It's a means of stepping outside of their usual routine to slow down, explore different cultures and destinations, and return home with a renewed perspective," said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Oceania Cruises. "Our Wellness Discovery Tours are designed for those seeking to nurture their wellbeing and discover the rejuvenating power of travel. For today's luxury guest, travel is much more than movement from place to place – it is a journey of discovery, with every voyage offering the chance to expand horizons, deepen understanding and return home transformed by new perspectives."
Oceania Cruises' small-group, wellness-oriented tours bring guests together with local specialists and like-minded travelers. Experiences range from mineral-rich baths and yoga to dance, power walking and culinary classes.
These shoreside encounters are complemented by experiences on board Oceania Cruises' luxurious ships. With culinary lectures, hands-on cooking classes and food and beverage pairing experiences, plus creative workshops in the Artist Loft, guest speakers and performances by local musicians, guests can enjoy a diverse program designed to enhance their journey.
