UK wellness spa Champneys has partnered with Marella Cruises to launch the first Champneys at sea spas, starting with the Marella Explorer from May 2018.

The first Champneys at sea spa will include a full treatment menu including facials, body wraps, massages, manicures, acupuncture and more, as well as a salon, wellness centre and relaxation room with panoramic views.

Champneys operates four resorts and a spa hotel in the UK, along with six city spas and two colleges.

Based in Majorca, the Marella Explorer is the Marella fleet’s largest ship.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Marella Cruises from next year, offering the very best Champneys spa experience onboard Marella Explorer,” said Stephen Purdew, Champneys co-owner.

“We’re confident our state-of-the-art spa will bring even more enjoyment to guests’ holidays.”
