“When it comes to BODY TREATMENTS, guests are really SPOILT


FOR CHOICE”


are available, while the indoor relaxation lounge offers a large choice of herbals teas – I can highly recommend the Ginger Twist and Chamomile Citron.


And then there are the treatments – a


plethora of them for face, body, hands and feet, as well as a hair salon and state-of- the-art fitness centre. Run by Elemis, the spa offers some of their renowned rituals and packages, lasting from 2½-4 hours. There is even one for couples that includes a bathing ritual and Elemis Aroma Stone therapy in the couples suite, which comes with its


in the womb – and you are guaranteed to sleep within minutes. A gentle body mas- sage completes the treatment. Finishing touches such as hair-styling and colouring, as well as manicure and pedicure, are also on offer. For those who want to maintain their fitness level or begin a new regime, the Fitness Centre has the latest Technogym equipment as well as full cardio and strength apparatus, while the studio is equipped with a Kinesis Wall and daily complimentary classes are held on how to use and benefit from it. And, even though we all go cruising to spoil ourselves, the Spa at Seabourn makes it possible to do so the healthy way, too! 

aimed a tad higher to work on thighs, but- tocks and midriff. And all the time you just sit or lie in


warm water watching the bright blue of the Adriatic (in my case) decorate the horizon. Should you feel as if you want to be less coma-induced, there are two experi- ence showers to visit where fast-flowing tropical rain-style showering will enliven you, especially when you turn the tem- perature to its coldest. This is also ideal if you take a sauna or steam in the designat- ed rooms nearby, while a laconium is on hand if you are in need of gentler heat.


ndeed, you could happily spend a whole day enjoying the thermal suite, and many people do. A day’s pass costs just $30 and gives access to all the pools, steam and sauna as well as indoor and outdoor relaxation decks. It is also worth remembering this is also the quietest part of the ship, so it’s easy to nod off in between whirlpool, steam and lunch. Light snacks and healthy options


I THE GRAND TOUCH


If you are looking for the grandest spa experience at sea, consider Seabourn’s SPA VILLAS. As a secluded retreat for two or


own private veranda and tub for two. And, while many of Elemis’ special fa- cials are on offer, this is the place to expe- rience the Seabourn 24-carat Gold Facial, which helps tighten the skin and remove toxins – all with the help of 24 carat gold. It doesn’t come cheap at $325, but your skin will glow afterwards and lines and wrinkles appear much smoother. If that is a therapy too far, try the tri-enzyme resurfac- ing or SkinCeuticals firming facial. When it comes to body treatments, guests are really spoilt for choice. My favourite was the Thai poultice massage, where heated herb-filled pads are used to help ease deep muscle tension. Otherwise, try the Aroma Stone therapy. Another great relaxer is a body wrap;


try the seaweed one as you’re at sea. The gel is applied to the body, you are then wrapped in clingfilm and lowered into a waterbed where all the body’s weight and tensions are removed. It is like being back


Autumn 2010 I WORLD OF CRUISING 45


merely somewhere to share with a couple of your closest friends, the Spa has two of these on offer. Each comes with spacious dining, sitting and relaxing areas as well as bath, lounger for two and super- secluded wraparound terrace. They can be booked for two hours


or more and all the treatments you want will be brought to you here.
