“Crystal’s spas have been completely reimagined,” said TDoS Partner & Cruise Design Director Iina Forsblom. “They offer a fresh, and welcoming design with new finishes, exquisite materials and a sophisticated color palette to support the new offerings onboard.”
Aurōra will feature the latest technology and treatments through exclusive partnerships with multi-award-winning, number-one British skincare brand ELEMIS and worldwide beauty experts Kérastase®. New treatments will reflect discerning travelers’ continued desire for of-the-moment wellness offerings. Facial treatments have been designed with the goal of renewal, and estheticians will be able to develop customized high-performance, next-generation facials utilizing ELEMIS’ advanced BIOTEC technology.
Some of the featured treatments will include the Aurōra LED and Cryo Facial Experience which instantly plumps and tones the skin, and the Biotec 2.0 The Ultimate Facial, which reveals a more youthful appearance after just one treatment. Signature massage treatments include the Aurōra Stone Signature Massage incorporating hot stones for relaxed muscles and The Chariot of Light with LED light therapy for energized and refreshed skin.
Crystal Serenity will feature 12 treatment rooms and Crystal Symphony 10 treatment rooms, with male and female steam rooms, saunas and a relaxation room on both ships. At the Salon, beauty specialists will offer an ultra-personalized service with expertly trained onboard stylists who will help guests analyze the condition of their hair, allowing for targeted recommendations for treatments and at-home care options.
Additionally, nail and make-up treatments for both men and women will be available. Aurōra’s holistic approach to wellness also features fitness offerings that nourish both the body and mind.
OneSpaWorld, the leading innovator of wellness at sea, will return as the operator of Aurōra to bestow the highest quality standards and service delivery recognized at Crystal.
“We are delighted to rejoin Crystal as their partner in its all-new wellness and beauty journey. For more than 20 years, we have been providing onboard guests with innovative spa, fitness and wellness services and believe Aurōra will elevate the spa experience by enhancing the well-being of their guests,” said Leonard Fluxman, Executive Chairman and CEO, OneSpaWorld. “Inspired by Aurōra, we have partnered with LightStim®, the leading innovator of LED light therapy technology. Using their LightStim® ProPanel, a first-at-sea, we have curated a unique selection of facials and massages exclusively for the Crystal guest. Our 75-minute ‘Chariot of Light’ LED light therapy massage experience and 50-minute LED and Cryo Facial will allow guests to reset their circadian rhythm, reduce inflammation as well as increase collagen production,” Fluxman continued. “We are also introducing ‘The Healing Center’ on Crystal which will include LED technology for pain management by LightStim®.”
