A spa is a place where one goes to relax and be pampered, so for me, The Spa had to be neutral in palette and use complementary lighting, evoking a sense of calmness – Kelly Hoppen
Celebrity Cruises has unveiled its new The Spa on Celebrity Edge, a 22,000sq ft holistic spa inspired by nature and designed by Kelly Hoppen, who also designed the ship’s accommodations.
“The spa has always been a sacred space to me; as a young girl, I always dreamt of designing my very own spa and Celebrity Edge proved to be the perfect outlet for living out my dreams,” said Hoppen. “A spa is a place where one goes to relax and be pampered, so for me The Spa had to be neutral in palette and complementary lighting, evoking a sense of calmness. Every aspect of the design is meaningful to me; from the dramatic crystal installation – which was inspired by the qualities that crystals have had on my life – to the imposing and dramatic, yet Zen sculpture acting as a reception desk.”
Natural elements are infused into the experience at The Spa through a concept called SEA – inspired by the Sea, Earth, and the Air – which transcends the design of The Spa and treatments.
SEA aims to unite every experience throughout the wellness journey, through bespoke blended essences, which fill the air; a Zen-inspired relaxation lounge; and a welcome ritual.
“As we curated The Spa journey with Celebrity, the inspiration behind this revolutionary concept was to connect guests with nature while delivering distinctive sensory experiences, uncompromising service, and a wealth of new wellness choices that are exclusive at sea,” said Glenn Fusfield, president and CEO, One Spa World, which will operate the spa. “We’ve created a concept that not only evolves spa and wellness but sets the new standard.”
The spa will feature more than 124 treatments, including signature offerings such as the Ocean Spa Wave Massage, Hot Mineral Body Boost, Poultice-Powered Muscle Release, Zero Gravity Wellness Massage, Restorative Salt Stone Massage, and Thousand Flower Detox Wrap.
A SEA Thermal Suite, the next evolution of the popular Persian Garden on the brand’s current fleet, will feature eight therapeutic experiences harnessing the benefits of natural elements: the hammam, salt room, steam room, rainfall water therapy room, float room, heated tile loungers, infrared sauna, and crystalarium.
A specialty treatment table collection from Gharieni includes the Spa Wave MLW Amphibia Table, which features water-filled cushions to adapt to guests’ anatomy, as well as customisable colour therapy lighting; the WellMassage4D Table; and the MLX Quartz Table.
The ship will also be the first Celebrity cruise ship to offer Elemis Biotec facials.
An advanced medispa, Ideal Image Ocean, will offer aesthetic services such as Dysport Wrinkle Treatments and Restylane Dermal Filler Treatments.
Celebrity will partner with haircare brand Kérastase to introduce the first-ever Kérastase Institute at sea, and a traditional barber will offer hot shaves and fresh cuts.
An interactive Elemis Ingredient Wall will give insights into the science and natural ingredients behind the Celebrity’s line of Elemis products, and also acts as a retail concept.
The Fitness Center will include hot yoga, Technogym Group Cycle, Fitness on Demand, cardio boxing, and the first Bungee Fit and Peloton bikes offered at sea.
“Our aspiration for The Spa was the same aspiration we have for Celebrity Edge – to provide our guests with a deeper and more profound connection to the sea,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. “To start the revolution in relaxation, we turned once again to the visionary Kelly Hoppen to completely transform the spa experience and develop an atmosphere that envelops you in luxury and soothes your soul from the moment you walk in.”
