New cruise ship caters to health-conscious
More cruise passengers are looking for a healthy lifestyle while vacationing, so The Yachts of Seabourn says its new Seabourn Sojourn debuting next month has various features meeting that need.
“One of the newest and most innovative spa amenities on Sojourn is a Kneipp Walk, providing holistic, water therapy treatment and healing remedies designed to enhance circulation,” says the cruise line.
Guests will feel the benefits of the Kneipp Therapy as they walk slowly through a circular basin separated into areas of cold and warm water, stimulating capillary circulation and metabolism, and soothing pain.
“Additional new amenities in the 11,400-square-foot spa include cushy cocooning recliners, an herbal bath facility and an aroma steam bath with salt inhalation,” the cruise line says.
The two-deck spa will also feature an outdoor, cabana-style relaxation area, furnished with lounge chairs and sofas, where guests can enjoy the peaceful environment and fresh breezes from the open sea. Décor will include new colorful coral-themed artwork.
“Wellness and fitness are so important to consumers today and we are seeing more and more guests seeking to keep up their healthy lifestyle even when they are traveling,” said Pamela C. Conover, Seabourn’s President and CEO.
The spa will house six treatment rooms and a Spa Villa, available for guests to book along with their treatments. The Spa Villa will feature a treatment area large enough for duet treatments, complete with shower; a bathtub big enough for two; a private balcony for sunbathing; a full living room area; a double daybed for relaxing and even a dining area where healthy snacks can be enjoyed.
For a limited time, Seabourn is offering two-for-one cruise fares with included round-trip air, or cruise-only fares featuring savings up to 65 percent.
The new ship leaves London on June 6.
