The new agreement commences May 2020 and includes the operations of future Edge Series ships currently commissioned by Celebrity Cruises, while increasing OneSpaWorld’s leading maritime global market share to a new, all-time high further defining the company as the preferred operator of choice for health and wellness services for the global cruise line industry.

Nine Millennium and Solstice Series ships will be transitioned to OneSpaWorld in the coming months and rebranded as The Spa, an innovative wellness concept that debuted on Celebrity Edge – named one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2019 by TIME Magazine1 – to critical acclaim and recognized for its cutting-edge technological and therapeutic innovations, first-at-sea experiences, exclusive collaborations with leading authorities in health and wellness, technical excellence, award-winning retail products, and elegant design.

The rebranded spas will feature many of the industry-leading offerings introduced on Celebrity Edge, while continuing to evolve wellness at sea with groundbreaking concepts and experiences, including: the continued salon collaboration with Kérastase®; and the expansion of award-winning Gharieni treatment beds across the fleet. A full suite of experiences will enhance Celebrity Cruises’ wellness platform in spa and beyond.

“OneSpaWorld is leading a revolution that fuses traditional spa services with innovation in wellness and aesthetics while developing branded relationships that create dynamic and unique environments for cruise line guests,” said Leonard Fluxman, Executive Chairman, OneSpaWorld. “The awarding of Celebrity Cruises’ entire fleet is a testament to our commitment in advancing spa and wellness globally, our unmatched execution capabilities, as well as our successful track record of providing exceptional services to cruise line guests.

From wellness to beauty to fitness, The Spa on Celebrity Cruises will include a collection of more than 124 treatments, including signature offerings such as the Hot Mineral Body Boost, Poultice-Powered Muscle Release, Zero Gravity Wellness Massage, Restorative Salt Stone Massage, Thousand Flower Detox Wrap, and ELEMIS BIOTEC facials, to name a few. In addition, pre-booking prior to embarkation will simplify and automate guest bookings to ensure a seamless experience. New programming that will further elevate the brand’s awarded spa and wellness platform include:

Kérastase Flagship Salons – Celebrity Cruises ships will feature the latest technology and treatments based on extensive research from 700 scientists, 4,000 beauty researchers, and 83,000 beauty experts worldwide. Innovative in-salon treatments such as the Fusio-Dose™ provides unique and transformative results. In addition, an ultra-personalized service, the Kérastase Hair Diagnostics tool will help guests analyze the condition of their hair, allowing for targeted recommendations for treatments and at-home care options.

Gharieni Advanced Therapy Beds – The Spa will feature advanced spa therapy treatment tables fleetwide. The selected beds include the popular MLX Quartz and the WellMassage 4D.

Also known as psammotherapy (MLX Quartz), warm sand quartz cocoons the body and replicates the benefits of a day spent at the beach. Quartz minerals impart wellness benefits and healing energy to the guest as well, helping to release muscle tension and promote a deeper state of relaxation.

WellMassage 4D is an award-winning method that combines high tech and high touch. This table uses eight specially programmed positions and manual signature techniques to deliver a deeper and more relaxing massage.

Both Millennium and Solstice Series ships will begin the transition to OneSpaWorld in May 2020. In April 2020, Celebrity Edge will be joined by its sister ship, Celebrity Apex, with an additional three ships to follow in 2021, 2022 and 2024, respectively.
