Who doesn't want to return from a cruise holiday buffed, bronzed and beautiful? A little slimmer perhaps? Fitter? Younger?
Spas on cruiseships are destination health resorts in their own right. They can deliver every contemporary treatment shore-based spas can, with the added benefit of a cruise lifestyle where you can do things at your own pace in a vibrant or serene environment.
Medi-spas are all the rage. You have a one-on-one consultation with a physician before proceeding with wrinkle-relaxers such as Botox; and fillers like Restylane or Perlane and even holistic treatments such as acupuncture. And why not have your teeth whitened while you are at it?
As for fitness options, there are Pilates, Kinesis, Yoga, Body Sculpting and Boot Camp, state-of the-art gym equipment and personal trainers. No cosmetic surgery. But why not have your clinical procedure at home first, then slip away on a ship and return looking a million dollars.
