Cruising is for… relaxation

Cruising isn’t just for exploration and adventure, it’s for relaxation too. Many cruise lines have luxury spa and wellbeing facilities on board, here are some of our favourites for you to enjoy on your next cruise:

There is nothing quite like being pampered in a place that redefines the meaning of true bliss – The Spa at Seabourn delivers exactly that. Onboard you can enjoy the beauty and utter pleasure of Seabourn’s spa facilities – which includes the Thermal Suite Lounge. Here, you can enjoy a rejuvenating sauna experience, sink into the bliss of a Hydropool, the Kneipp Walk for energisation, the Spa Villas or try a SkinCeuticals treatment for complete relaxation. 6★ luxury exists as standard on a Seabourn voyage, so you should expect nothing less from their spa facilities.

Cunard prides itself on delivering exceptional service in traditional surroundings and their Royal Spa goes above and beyond to ensure that your spa experience is second to none.
