When we think of cruising, we imagine ocean views, endless buffets, and maybe a massage if we’re feeling fancy. But today’s luxury cruise spas are changing the game—turning wellness into a full-body, full-ship experience.

In this immersive episode, Dr. Krystal Sodaitis takes you on a tour of the most iconic cruise ship spas across major lines—from Seabourn’s earth-grounding massages and Regent’s amber quartz beds to Celebrity’s rainfall therapy rooms and Uniworld’s wine-infused facials.

She also dives into spa-specific staterooms, thermal suite hacks, embarkation-day deals, and how cruise lines are weaving wellness into every aspect of the journey—from plant-based menus to non-alcoholic botanical cocktails.

If you’ve ever dreamed of a floating sanctuary, this episode will help you book it, build it, or DIY it—no port stop needed.
