Cruise
Seabourn offers Spa Suite accommodations.
Stay Active & Get Pampered
Cruise lines are listening: Health-conscious travelers want
to stay fit, stick to their wellness routine, and, of course,
book a few spa treatments while sailing the world.

Wellness is top of mind for travelers, and
it's a market that is booming. No longer
do travelers bid farewell to their diets and
exercise regimens when they go on vacation,
and they certainly slip in quite a few spa
treatments as well. According to the Global
Wellness Summit, travelers take 586 million
wellness trips each year, and it accounts for
15 percent of global tourism, second only to
cultural tourism in revenues. And make
note of this whopping figure: Wellness
travelers spend 130 percent more than the
average traveler.
And although clients "aren't asking
about the spas or using the term 'wellness'
specifically," says Wendy Quinn, Cruise
Planners franchise owner and wellness
34 october 2016
travel specialist, "what they are doing is
asking for cruise ships with unique services
and activities. People have become more
active and health-conscious, and want to
continue their lifestyle while on vacation.
The activities and services on the ship have
become equally as important as the ports
themselves." Adds Bridget Midgett, customer
care manager, World Travel Holdings, "This
side of cruising is booming! Recognizing the
want of a passenger to unplug and unwind
is creating competitive pricing and amazing
offerings. Some examples are incorporating
the destinations into the types of spa
offerings. Adults-only wellness areas, juice
bars and healthy adult beverage offerings are
making the experience memorable."
Dive In
So what cruise lines are top of mind for travel
advisors in terms of this lucrative niche? Says
Quinn, "Seabourn Cruise Line is a great
choice for someone looking for a smaller,
luxury ship. They offer a surprisingly large
2-deck spa...complimentary group classes,
including tai chi, yoga and Pilates...and
a fitness center staffed by a trainer who
can design a personal nutrition and
exercise plan."
The cruise line, in fact, has aligned itself
with Dr. Andrew Weil to create a mindful
living program that offers guests a holistic
spa and wellness experience that integrates
physical, social, environmental and spiritual
well-being. The program is scheduled
