Celestyal has unveiled a range of new wellbeing and spa treatments as part of its ‘Sozo Experience’ on its two ships, Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery.
The Sozo Experience is inspired by the ancient Greek tradition of sozo, or wellness, with activities and concepts designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.
Guests can now indulge in new facial treatments, known as the Vie Collection, in the Sozo Spa. These are inspired by aesthetic medicine, in collaboration with experts in the field and comprise:
* Three-dimension wrinkle-smoothing densifying treatment - a supplementary or alternative facial to Botox.
* A pro-collagen lifting and firming option, including a massage session and concentrated products that echo laser, LED, and micro-needling techniques.
* A customisable mesoforce revitalising plumping treatment, inspired by a mesotherapy session in an aesthetic medicine practice.
The line has also introduced Ayurvedic treatments, inspired by the 5,000-year-old practice of Ayurveda. This is a system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India and focuses on observing people through five elements - earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
The options on Celestyal Journey and Celestyal Discovery include:
* Ayurvedic head massage
* Ayurvedic face and body massage- Focusing on the marma points ( vital energy points) and facial muscles, aiming to relive tension, detoxify, and revitalize your facial tissues followed by body massage.
* A Kizhi herbal pouch treatment
* Abhyanga Ayurvedic oil massage
* Nasyam face and head massage
* Ayurvedic lightweight legs – A lightweight Ayurvedic leg massage can include gentle strokes using warm herbal oils like sesame or coconut oil, focusing on stimulating circulation and relaxing muscles. Begin with long, sweeping strokes from the ankle to the thigh, then incorporate circular motions around the knee and calf muscles. Finish with light tapping or patting to invigorate the legs.
Prices start from €72 to €122.
To complete the wellness experience, guests can enjoy superfood smoothies at the Fig & Honey bar, with rare ingredients such as Pink Pitaya and Blue Spirulina.
Lee Haslett, Chief Commercial Officer at Celestyal, said: “We know that wellness and relaxation are key components of the modern-day cruise experience, with our guests eager to not only explore our wonderful collection of destinations but also use their time onboard to focus on their own personal wellbeing. The additions to our Sozo Spa further elevate our exceptional onboard offering and align perfectly with our ‘wellbeing wanderer’ customer mindset, ensuring that our guests return home feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.”
