For your physical health, acupuncture is offered onboard which can be used as a standalone service or part of a pain management programme - whatever you are looking to achieve, a certified acupuncturist and pain management specialist will help you leave your cruise feeling physically healthier.

Who doesn’t want to look 10 years younger? Celebrity Cruises features Elemis Biotic Facials onboard, which uses facial technology to increase your skin’s natural cellular energy through Oxygen, light therapy and galvanic stimuli. Every skin issue is catered for, from anti-ageing to pigmentation.

Feel so relaxed it seems as though you are floating in mid-air on the Zero Gravity Immersion Massage table - using the advanced technology of the specialised table you will feel as if you are levitating while receiving a massage that targets every muscle group.

All these treatments are available on most ships, simply check the Celebrity Cruises website to find out if they are available on yours.

Sea Thermal Suite

As an extension of the ever-popular Persian Garden onboard Millennium and Solstice series ships, the Sea Thermal Suite truly encompasses everything that a spa and wellness area should include on a cruise.

Available onboard Celebrity Apex, Beyond and Edge, the Sea Thermal Suite is complimentary to guests in AquaClass staterooms, but also available to everyone onboard to book as an extra-charge activity.

The suite boasts a number of distinct spaces; you will quickly get used to the luxurious extensive relaxation opportunities - and sorely miss them when you are home, here is a selection of these special spaces.

The Hammam is first up and is a modern take on the traditional Turkish bath, featuring stunning tile mosaics. Let yourself float away into tranquillity while your muscles loosen with a body polish that will leave you glowing from the outside in - a true treat for the body.

To truly connect with the spiritual pillar of holistic wellness, visit the Crystalarium, made up of gorgeous natural stone walls featuring the healing Amethyst crystal.

Embrace the restorative energy of the crystal while taking a moment to practice mindfulness. You can also check in with your spirituality in the Salt Room, a simulated salt cave environment presenting all the elements of water, earth and air believed to help your respiratory system as well as skin conditions.

Both the Steam Room and Infrared Sauna Room help stress to simply float away, with the former opening up your airways and melting away toxins from your body as you sweat.

The Infrared Sauna Room features a special technology to heat the air to the perfect degree to calm the body and release endorphins, with the infrared lighting system offering the benefits of sunlight without UV light impact.

Your shower at home will seem, let’s face it, slightly lacklustre, compared to the Rainfall Water Therapy Room which features an ultra-refreshing spring shower with a waterfall setting that massages the entire body as well as leaving you feeling mentally revitalized.
