Awaken the Senses at the All New Mandara Spa

 

Industry’s First Charcoal Sauna at Sea

 

As part of the ongoing only-found-on-NCL’s Prima Class holiday experiences such as the world’s first three-level racetrack at sea and dry drop slides, the Brand will unveil the industry’s first charcoal sauna.

 

A charcoal sauna is a type of radiant heat system that reaches temperatures of between 30-50 degrees Celsius by using an outer layer of charcoal. It is derived from Japanese and Korean wellness practices. In addition to boosting circulation and metabolism, the sauna also helps remove toxins from the body and treats muscle tension, including relief from backache, headache, and arthritis thanks to the connective tissue and muscles release.
