Beauty Salon and Spa

Cruise lines through their ships today provide a wide array of onboard Beauty Salon and Spa facilities to relax and unwind from your stresses of daily life ashore. Most cruise ships will provide aerobics, fitness facilities, gymnasium equipment, saunas, steamroom, whirlpools, and swimming pools. Beauty Salons and Spas aboard ship will vary from cruise line to cruise line in the exclusivity and type of treatment and services that they offer. Some ships only have a beauty salon, providing basic treatments and services such as, hair, facials, manicures, pedicures, and massages. There are other ships who have full spa facilities providing you with a wide range of deluxe facilities and services, offering a wide variety of wellness and beauty programs, such as Thalassotherapy Spa Bath, Exotic Coconut rub and milk ritual wrap, Hot Stone Haven massage not only for ladies, also for gentlemen.

Please remember that appointment space for the Beauty Salon and Spa are limited and passengers are encouraged to book early upon boarding the ship, especially for the Captain’s Welcome Aboard Party.

The manager of the spa or an individual beauty therapist will consult with you for a health and beauty program tailored to your individual needs.

These facilities are operated by a concessionaire who employs well-trained and experienced beauty therapists. Please note that any service or treatments are not included in your cruise fare and will be added to your onboard account.

A word of advice, should you wish to tip your therapist at the end of your treatment, ensure that the cruise line has not added a tip to your onboard account automatically.
