Celebrity turns to a different operator for Edge spa

Celebrity Cruises said the spa operator on its new Celebrity Edge will be One Spa World, a division of Steiner Leisure, rather than Canyon Ranch SpaClub, the operator on previous ships.

Celebrity said the spa will be designed by New York decorator Kelly Hoppen and occupy 22,000 square feet.

The spa will offer 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, Celebrity said.

The Persian Garden, a room of heated ceramic loungers on current Celebrity ships, will evolve into the Sea Thermal Suite, with eight distinctive therapeutic experiences. They will include the hammam, salt room, steam room, rainfall water therapy room, float room, heated tile loungers, infrared sauna and Crystalarium.

AquaClass guests receive complimentary access to the Sea Thermal Suite, among other complimentary amenities, Celebrity said.

New to the spa on Edge will be several speciality treatment tables. They include:

• Spa Wave MLW Amphibia Table: A water-filled cushion conforms to the curves of the guest's body. Colour therapy lighting.

• WellMassage4D Table: This treatment table, a Celebrity first, uses breakthrough technology to deliver a deeper and more relaxing massage.

• MLX Quartz Table: Another Celebrity first, warm crystals mould and shape around the body, releasing muscle tension and promoting a deeper state of relaxation.

Celebrity said MediSpa treatments on the Edge will include Dysport Wrinkle Treatments and Restylane® Dermal Filler Treatments.

Celebrity also said it will partner with Kerastase, a luxury haircare brand, to introduce the first Kerastase Institute at sea.

The fitness centre on the ship will offer hot yoga, Technogym Group Cycle, Fitness on Demand virtual fitness programming, cardio boxing, Bungee Fit equipment and Peloton spinning bikes.

The Celebrity Edge's maiden cruise departs Dec. 16 from Fort Lauderdale.
