Brain exercise programs, digital detoxes, plant-based menus, workouts, and meditation are all part of Crystal’s new wellness-focused sailings.
The two new ‘retreats’ onboard Crystal Symphony will set sail in December, and a host of industry experts will be available for travellers who want to focus on their wellbeing.
Crystal’s Head Nutritionist, Dalila Roglieri, says, “We’re so pleased to offer Crystal guests our new wellness retreats at sea, expertly curated in collaboration with some of the best in the health and wellness industry.
“It is important that our offerings align with discerning travellers’ evolving tastes and needs, as wellness is at the forefront of so many of our guests’ lives.”
New wellness itineraries
Guests can join the 14-night voyage departing from Barcelona on the 1st of December, including stops in Gibraltar, Morocco, the Canary Islands (Spain), and Cape Verde. Or, on the 14th of December, there’s an eight-night voyage from Tema, Ghana, to Cape Town, with a stop in Namibia.
The retreats include whole, plant-based culinary menus developed in collaboration with Roglieri; in-suite herbal tea and fresh vegetable smoothies for intermittent fasting detox days; a fitness program; brain exercise programs, such as bridge classes and painting lessons; a digital detox program; wellness excursions and tailored treatments at Aurōra Spa.
