Crystal’s Soothing Feng Shui Spa

Categories Crystal , Editor3 , Editor4 , Luxury Cruises , Small Ship Cruises , Stylish Cruises

The world’s most discriminating travelers agree. Crystal Cruises offers not only the ultimate in a luxury vacation but also indulgent pampering with the unequaled world-class Crystal Spa & Salon and extensive wellness programs. As a Readers’ Choice Award winner by Spa Finder and Condé Nast Traveller (UK) magazines, the Crystal Spa consistently ranks among the world’s most renowned resort and destination spas.



Featuring expansive ocean views, the luxurious spa and fitness facilities on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity offer Eastern and Western face and body beauty services and massage therapies."Incorporating ancient cultural, holistic, and healing rituals to enhance the mind, body and soul, our spa programs are particularly timely, as now, more than ever, luxury travelers appreciate a wide range of choices and a soothing vacation environment," says Alexandra Don, vice president, onboard guest services.

Crystal guests can focus on overall well-being with Elemis treatments in the peaceful Feng Shui-designed Crystal Spa & Salon, workouts in the state-of-the-art fitness center, classes in yoga and Pilates, and light cuisine, low-carb and trans-fat-free selections found in all dining venues. In addition, Crystal's health-focused lectures and workshops affiliated with the Creative Learning Institute expand the choices for guests wanting to initiate lifestyle changes or maintain current health regimens.



Crystal Spa & Salon
For mind, body and spiritual wellness, there's no better place to start than the world's first Feng Shui-designed spa at sea, a soothing retreat with Zen rock gardens, water fountains, and furnishings strategically placed according to ancient Chinese principles. The Crystal Spa elevates pampering at sea to a new standard with such luxurious amenities as state-of-the-art sauna and steam room, shower areas with multiple head and side body jets, fiber optic lighting, a selection of special rain and mist functions, Elemis spa products, custom-designed manicure/pedicure areas with sunken foot bowls, a private sun deck for relaxing before or after treatments, and unlimited ocean views.

A dry-float bed suite contains an innovative sensory bed to create a feeling of weightlessness, ideal for "Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap" and other treatments. The suite may be used by a single guest or a couple.

Guests may focus on the face, hands, feet, or full body, choosing from the latest in natural healing and beauty innovations such as Aroma Stone Therapy, the Sole Delight Foot Ritual with warmed aromatherapy oils and massage prior to a pedicure, Japanese Silk Booster Facial, Frangipani Hair and Scalp Conditioning Ritual, a body-detoxifying Ionithermie Algae Wrap, and aromatherapy massages designed to reduce stress, increase energy, soothe muscles, or balance chakras.

The Elemis Spa Therapy Menu promises therapies that respect the body's complex physiology, working in synergy with the skin, body and mind. Combining ancient touches from ten cultures, the Elemis Spa Therapy menu is unique and revolutionary, bringing the spa consciousness to a higher ground. Combining the riches of the natural world with an advanced scientific range of medicinal and active therapeutic plant extracts, absolutes and essential oils, each Elemis therapy will help one rediscover senses, rest the mind and breathe freely. Crystal's signature treatments combine multiple facial and body remedies with sessions lasting from three to six hours. The hair salon is available for cuts and styling for men and women.

Fitness Center
"Crystal guests can experience a first-class resort spa or destination spa while at sea," says Don. "The appealing difference is that our guests can stay in shape while visiting some of the most beautiful and exotic cities in the world."

Boasting panoramic ocean views, the expansive gym features state-of-the-art equipment and services. LifeFitness® treadmills individually equipped with flat-screen televisions, cross trainers, recumbent and upright life cycles and steppers, strength-training equipment, free weights, a Pilates Reformer® machine, a full-time fitness director, and a sports director allows guests to continue their at-home workout programs while at sea or start anew with a complimentary orientation. A generous supply of towels and water are provided and an attendant thoroughly sanitizes equipment after use.

Activity programs include yoga, Pilates, and other chi-balancing classes such as Inner Harmony (for strengthening the abdominals and back while relaxing the mind) and a Sunrise Chi Walk. Chi-energizing sessions include Aerobic Symphony, Body Sculpt (strengthening abdominals, hips, and thighs), Aqua Moves (low-impact water workout) and Cardio Ki-Bo Circuit Training (boxercise, kickboxing, and aerobic conditioning).

Crystal Cruises features fitness expert Debbie Rocker's exclusive Walk-On-Water® (WOW) fitness program. This unique exercise program maximizes the benefits of walking using a revolutionary weighted Walkvest® that places weights around the waistline for better support and equilibrium control, with the option of adding weights in half-pound increments for a gradual increase from two to 16 pounds. Personal training, Pilates sessions, and body composition analysis and consultation are available for a nominal fee. Unusual on most ships today is Crystal's wide outside full promenade deck for walking and jogging.

Mind, Body & Spirit Cruises
As an extension of the stimulating and enriching health and fitness-related programs of the innovative Crystal Learning Institute (CLI), Crystal Cruises offers special wellness-themed cruises that feature classes, instructors, best-selling authors, and motivating lectures designed to recharge, rejuvenate and revitalize guests. Specialists from the Cleveland Clinic lead seminars on relevant health and wellness topics.

The ancient Chinese practice of Tai Chi finds a natural home at the Creative Learning Institute - a concept centered on wellness and personal enrichment. Instruction will be led by Tai Chi master Martin Lee, Ph.D., a research physicist at Stanford University and founder of the Tai Chi Cultural Center, and his family. Beneficial for all, this martial arts discipline combines intense mental focus with deliberate, graceful movements that improve strength, agility, and balance.

Healthy Cuisine
Wellness and fitness programs are complemented by Crystal Cruises' healthy onboard dining selections. Menu options include numerous fat-free, low fat, and vegetarian selections as well as other dietary options. Complete three-course low-carb menus are available in all dining venues on Crystal Cruises.
