Norwegian Cruise Line Features New Spa & Fitness Offerings on Prima Class Ships – Part 1

The spa experience and amenities are a key aspect of any cruise vessel offering, and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has bolstered its credentials with their industry-leading charcoal sauna on Prima Class vessels.

Industry’s First Charcoal Sauna at Sea

Based upon Japanese and Korean wellness practices, the charcoal sauna uses a radiant heat system with an outer charcoal layer to reach temperatures between 86-122 degrees Fahrenheit. The sauna will help boost circulation and metabolism while also removing toxins from the body. The sauna also treats muscle stiffness and tension, including relief from backache, headache, and arthritis, by promoting the deep release of connective tissue and muscles.

Thermal Experiences

The charcoal sauna is but one of eight thermal spa offerings available at NCL’s Mandara Spa. Guests can also indulge in a series of relaxing experiences such as a salt and steam room, an assortment of Brand-first spa experiences including an Ice Room, Experiential Showers, a Flotation Salt Pool and Infrared Sauna.

• The Ice Room: After unwinding in the sauna or steam bath, guests can cool off in the refreshing Ice Room. The cold air helps to increase blood circulation, invigorate the respiratory tract, and strengthen the immune system.
• The Experiential Showers: Multiple water jets and lighting effects help invigorate the body, lower body temperature, and stimulate blood circulation.
• Floatation Salt Pool: This treatment allows guests to fully relax all of their muscles while floating in warm water. An experience similar to experiencing zero gravity due to the buoyancy of the saltwater. The Floatation Salt Pool is beneficial for easing mental anxiety and muscle tension.
• Infrared Sauna: Unlike traditional saunas that use conventional heat to warm the air, infrared saunas utilize infrared lamps to directly warm the body — and at lower temperatures than traditional saunas. This promotes relaxation, better sleep, sore muscle and joint relief, improved blood circulation, and detoxification.
