New Spa & Beauty Facilities Now On Board

[*Lars*]

The spa and beauty facilities on board Oceania Cruises’ three mid-sized upper premium ships, Regatta, Insignia and Nautica, have had a complete face-lift and now feature the spa, wellness and fitness facility, and full-service beauty salons of the world renowned Canyon Ranch® SpaClub and Beauty Salons.

Canyon Ranch certified fitness instructors conduct daily group and private fitness, yoga and tai chi classes for guests and The Canyon Ranch SpaClub Beauty Salon offers complete beauty services for women and men including hair design and nail care treatments, luxurious spa manicures and pedicures, makeup consultations and makeovers.

The ships’ new spa facilities include Thalassotherapy Pools with recliner lounges, neck fountains, deluge waterfall, air tub and body massage jet benches. The Thermal Suites feature herbal saunas, Finnish saunas, reflexology basins and an aromatic steam room. Guests can also partake of the exotic Rasul Ceremony, a medicinal mud and steam treatment derived from an ancient cleansing ritual which takes place in an ornately tiled steam chamber. It is the Canyon Ranch SpaClub Signature treatment.

SpaClub's array of rejuvenating spa treatments also include massages and therapeutic bodywork, mud, aromatherapy, ayuvedic and seaweed treatments, facials and masks, conditioning body scrubs and therapeutic body cocoons.

Canyon Ranch SpaClub and Beauty Salons are also being incorporated on board Oceania Cruises’ new-build, Marina, due to debut in late 2010. The 65,000-ton, 1,252-passenger cruise ship will feature a visually stunning state-of-the-art spa, wellness and fitness facility, plus a luxurious full-service beauty salon. SpaClub will offer the most desirable spa amenities available: there will be 16 massage, body and skin-care treatment rooms, a gym and weight room with more than 50 pieces of cardio and weight training equipment, a juice bar, men's and women's locker rooms, thalassotherapy pool, two whirlpools and Thermal Suite.

Canyon Ranch is known worldwide as THE spa experience!

And they have added Thalassotherapy Pools! I LOVE those pools. They should do well with their new spa improvements.

I'm certainly now fan of Steiner's, which operates the spa on 90% of the cruise ships afloat. Bravo Oceania for upgrading their facility!
