From tailor-made treatments to treat ailments and aid health, such as reiki and acupuncture, to oxygen facials, salt therapy and spray-tanning, cruise guests aboard can access some of the best and most unique spa treatments at sea.
Blissful body wraps are the order of the day aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s premium contemporary brand, with the on board Mandara Spa® offering a range of skin polishes, warm milk bath treatments, nourishing frangipani or exotic coconut body wraps, a sea-algae detox wrap to assist with cellulite minimisation, and heated seaweed foil wraps to help alleviate arthritic aches.
Guests aboard Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Escape can unwind in the on-board salt chamberwhere anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial salt therapy benefits include relieving symptoms of respiratory and skin ailments and boosting flagging immune systems; while Norwegian Escape also boasts the line’s first Snow Room at sea within the Mandara Spa’s sprawling thermal retreat.
With a frosty temperature ranging from minus 6 to zero degree Celsius and flurries of snow descending from the ceiling, the Snow Room is designed to go hand in hand with the adjacent super-heated sauna – allowing guests to go from hot to cold, making blood vessels constrict and dilate to boost blood circulation and provide immune system benefits.
