Seabourn is set to elevate its partnership with renowned physician and best-selling author Dr. Andrew Weil with a pair of upcoming theme cruises during 2018 in Alaska and Greece.
"As wellness tourism continues to grow, we know it is on the minds of many travelers these days, especially our Seabourn guests," said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn, in a press release.
"With the remarkable success of the Spa & Wellness program with Dr. Andrew Weil on our ships, we couldn't wait to have him onboard to create even more focused spa and wellness voyages to be enjoyed amid the remarkable destinations of Alaska and Greece. With the beauty and culture of these destinations as a backdrop, these wellness cruises reinforce our continuing focus on enhancing the lives of luxury travelers."
Dr. Weil will be joined by other integrative medicine experts along with the shipboard Mindful Living coach for panel discussions and complimentary seminars. There will also be optional wellness-related shore excursions available for a cost.
"When you travel, exciting things happen to your mind, your body and your spirit. Your mind opens, your imagination and curiosity are aroused," explained Dr. Andrew Weil, in the release. "I'm incredibly pleased to join some of my esteemed colleagues in the field of integrative medicine to offer this level of depth and enrichment onboard through an array of specially curated wellness options."
Wellness in the Wilderness with Dr. Weil is scheduled on Seabourn Sojourn for June 16-28, 2018 heading from Vancouver, British Columbia to Seward, Alaska. Highlights will include Sumner Strait, Seduction Point, Tracy Arm and Misty Fjords.
Vivian A. Kominos M.D.-who is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology and integrative medicine-will also look at "What I Learned from My Giagia: Cooking with Heart" and guide small groups with "How to Attain Optimal Heart Health: It's Never too Late!" and "Women's Hearts: We are Not Just Small Men."
What's more, "Vibrantly Healthy Women," "Nourishing Your Health by Living Green" and "Vitality - How to Uncover More" will be addressed by integrative medicine leader Victoria Maizes, M.D. "The Healing Power of Laughter," "An Integrative Approach to Prepare for Surgery" and "Obesity: A Global Epidemic" will also be presented by Gulshan K. Sethi, M.D. from the field of cardiac surgery and heart transplantation.
Outside of the extensive theme cruises, Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil programming will be available to a lesser degree on the entire Seabourn fleet by the end of 2017.
