Relax. Rebalance. Recharge
A focus on wellness
All cruise lines feature health & wellness facilities on their ships -
Whether crossing open oceans or gliding along iconic rivers, every voyage is designed with your wellbeing in mind. Ocean ships offer secluded spa terraces, luxurious spas, thalassotherapy pools, modern fitness studios, and cuisine that celebrates vitality - paired with bespoke wellness-focused excursions ashore.
River cruises offer a more intimate approach to wellness, with onboard spas, whirlpools, gyms, swimming pools, bicycles for gentle exploration, and shared wellness experiences that connect you with both destination and fellow travellers.
Selected ocean sailings are devoted entirely to health and wellness, combining movement, mindful eating, and plenty of Vitamin Sea.
