Acupuncture sets the trend for spa therapies at sea

With no planes to catch, restaurants to book and hotels to find, a cruise holiday has often been described as the most relaxing kind of vacation. So it’s no wonder that while away from home holidaymakers are seeking the ultimate relaxation and well-being treatments at sea, and leading the way in popularity is the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. Celebrity Cruises was the first cruise line in the world to offer acupuncture at sea, and now guests on Royal Caribbean and Azamara Club Cruises can also enjoy this treatment.

For those who find it tricky to find their sea legs, among other health concerns, acupuncture can help alleviate sea sickness. The benefits of acupuncture are catching on, and it is becoming one of the fastest growing alternative therapies. Acupuncture is one part of a complete health care system that can strengthen your immune system, prevent disease and control pain through the insertion of thin, disposable acupuncture needles at specific points on the body. The treatments are painless, and the results can lead to lifelong improvements.

Celebrity Cruises offers a range of acupuncture treatments to address a variety of health concerns. Celebrity’s highly trained licensed acupuncturists can help you eliminate stress while restoring your body's natural balance, providing treatments to help detoxify your body, relieve chronic pain and stress and even suppress cravings for cigarettes.

Guests can enjoy the benefits of this popular therapy this summer aboard Celebrity Century when she makes her debut down under this November, as she will be offering acupuncture at her Aqua Spa by Elemis facility. New-comers to acupuncture can book a 50 minute first-time session as an introduction, with additional sessions at 45 minutes. Or for a more specific treatment, guests can have a 75 minute first facial rejuvenation session, with additional sessions of 60 minutes. Depending on the length of the cruise, it is recommended that guests have an average of two treatments per voyage, and an option like a 12 night cruise to New Zealand would be ideal to sample the treatment properly.

New Zealand guests can also experience the health benefits of acupuncture on Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas, when she returns for her fifth summer cruise season down under this October. Rhapsody of the Seas will offer a variety of spa treatments and itineraries to New Zealand and around Australia, such as her 11 night Tropical Queensland cruise..

Or alternatively, for those looking to travel further abroad, Azamara Club Cruises also offers acupuncture at their world-class spa, on sailings such as an 11 night Europe cruise from Athens to Venice.
