Oceania Cruises debuted the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center today, which will be introduced across all of its six ships this winter.
As part of the brand's continued OceaniaNEXT enhancements, the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center extends well beyond a traditional spa, offering a complete and original collection of holistic wellness encounters both on board and ashore that supports all dimensions of wellness while encouraging a lifestyle of health and longevity.
"Our guests love balance - they're active, they're leading rich and fulfilled lives. For them, wellness is not a pursuit, it's a lifestyle," stated Bob Binder, President and Chief Executive Officer for Oceania Cruises. "People are not just living longer, they are living healthier and better and that's why Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center is the perfect fit for the Oceania Cruises guest."
Drawing on inspiration from the fundamental benefits of travel and discovery as well as guest input, Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center was created from top to bottom by Oceania Cruises and offers an array of wellness encounters designed to enhance the guest experience and encourage personal renewal.
From rejuvenating treatments and Aquamar Vitality Cuisine to Wellness Discovery Tours by Aquamar, all have been uniquely curated to encompass the brand's core pillars: the finest cuisine at sea, alluring destinations and intimate and luxurious ships.
