Can travelers successfully balance travel indulgence with body and spiritual wellness? Regent Seven Seas Cruises^® confidently says “yes.” In fact, they believe in mind, body, spirit practices so much that they have integrated elements of travel at its Serene Spa & Wellness^TM outposts aboard their vessels. Plus, additional elements of wellness have been added onboard and in port, from rejuvenating spa treatments to clean dining options, invigorating fitness classes, and mindful shoreside experiences.

Regent’s “global ritual of wellness” explores time-honored therapies from multiple destinations, including India, the Mediterranean, Baltic Sea, the Caribbean, and South Pacific. In many treatments, globally sourced, natural ingredients are combined with indigenous practices proven to protect health and establish balance.

The Around the World Massage treatment not only relieves pain and therapeutically revitalizes one’s skin, but is also employs modalities and ingredients from different ports. The therapy includes Swedish massage, volcanic rocks, bamboo stalks, warmed coconut poultices, and Moroccan oil to condition the scalp.

Treatments not only focus on global elements, but on efficacy. Facials use Elemis Biotec, a groundbreaking technology that works with active ingredients for clinically proven results and visibly healthy, energized skin. A signature treatment called Line Eraser irons out creases and fills in lines on the face, followed by a microcurrent to lift and firm facial muscles. Finally, a galvanic current propels anti-aging padina pavonica (a natural algae found in the Mediterranean) and peptides to hydrate the dermis.

When it comes to bodywork, Serene Spa therapists are fully engaged in relaxing, lengthening, and repairing the muscles of traveling clients. The Regent is a bespoke therapy featuring a synergy of rosemary, sea fennel, and sea buckthorn from Mediterranean coastlines. Or, get the best of both worlds and combine an Elemis Biotic Facial with a Swedish massage! Body treatments include the Thousand Flower Detox Wrap, using Nordic peat from the wetlands of Finland, and sustainably sourced mud which harnesses an abundance of wildflowers, herbs, plant-rich nutrients, vitamin E, and omega rich fatty acids.

One of the most interesting wellness offerings on Regent Seven Seas Cruises^® itineraries are Serene Spa and Wellness^TM Tours. These are wellness explorations and treatments incorporated into and inspired by each destination, connecting a guests’ spirit of adventure with their desire for well-being. Imagine a yoga class overlooking the town of Taormina in Sicily, soaking in restorative, mineral rich thermal springs in Rome, or centering with a tai chi class on a beach on Palma de Mallorca.

Throughout each day on Regent Seven Seas Cruises^®, clean nutrition is key. When sailing, a variety of world cuisines are offered, including Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, and Malaysian. Plant-based options are extensive as are options to suit dietary needs.
