Your Spa Travel Source

Travel spa is simply amazing whether you are traveling in a group, solo or whatever your individual tastes may be, and although spa therapies have been around for centuries there is now a new emergence of this global industry through a coming together of therapeutic traditions and the travel industries.

One of the best ways to experience travel spa is by taking a cruise because a spa suite has become a vital part of a ships leisure supply.

I recommend that you buy yourself a copy of the “Berlitz Guide to Cruising”, which is continually being updated with valuable information regarding the food, cabins, entertainment, as well as the spa and fitness facilities.

 Useful websites include Cruisedirect, Orient Express, Priceline and CheapCarribean.COM who all offer a good deal of information regarding spa travel cruises.

You can choose cruises to exotic locations such as Alaska, Bahamas, Egypt, Caribbean, Bermuda, Hawaii and Europe. Here are some spa travel cruises that you might be interested in:

First is the Oberoi Zahra, which is considered Queen of the Nile.  This boutique cruiser gives an excellent spa travel experience.  It has a small gym, swimming pool, steam showers and baths plus four treatment rooms with large windows so that the backdrop to your Oberoi signature massage is continually changing from spot lit temples to camels and blossoming palm trees.

Carnival Cruises are well known for spa travel to the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Bahamas, Panama Canal, Mediterrannean, Bermuda, South America, Canada, Hawaii and you can even take a two night “Cruise to Nowhere”. Last month Carnival amended their agreement with Steiner Leisure Limited so that they will solely provide spa and salon products on the new Dream and Splendor ships.

The Carnival Splendor offers the Cloud Nine spa travel concept with thermal suites that have heat therapy chambers, hydrotherapy pools, mud lounges and nail bars. Couples suites are also available and have a private bathroom with Jacuzzi.

Royal Caribbean cruises are ideal for anyone new to cruising and spa travel, those who want a touch of class, as well as a vast range of options and they are suitable for all age groups, whether part of a family or travelling alone, as there is a variety of shipboard activities such as ice skating and rock climbing, as well as a fully equipped health spa.

The only problem with travel spa is that it has to come to an end, but there are several books on the market that show you how to keep that spa feeling long after your travel spa experience:

 Balancing Senses: The Six Senses Spa Book by Kate O’Brien.
Top-to-toe Home Spa: Do-it-yourself Beauty Treatments for Total Well-being by Stephanie Donaldson.
Natural Home Spa by Sian Rees
