Connect Your Mind and Body On Board Seabourn Luxury Cruise Ships

When you choose to participate in the Spa and Wellness program with Dr. Andrew Weil, your cruise experience will be enhanced by a holistic mind and body perspective.

Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn said, “This new wellness program will offer our guests an experience they simply won’t find anywhere else in the industry. By partnering with Dr. Weil, a pioneer in integrative medicine, we will deliver an even greater degree of mind and body programs that ensure you can break away, relax and rejuvenate while you travel with us. We’re eager to share the full slate of offerings as a part of Seabourn Encore’s inaugural sailing as another component of the Extraordinary Worlds of Seabourn.”

The spa and wellness travel program kicks off with Dr. Weil sailing on Seabourn Encore’s inaugural cruise in January 2017. The program will be implemented throughout the entire Seabourn fleet in 2017, including Seabourn Ovation in spring of 2018.

Dr. Weil will be on one sailing per year, which will vary based upon his schedule, where he’ll give a 60-minute lecture. Smaller informal group discussions will also be offered. You’ll find a separate team of wellness experts making regular visits to spa facilities throughout the Seabourn fleet.

If you’ve wanted to try or have struggled with medication and yoga, you can participate in a daily mediation practice and yoga through a selection of complimentary sessions. You can experience Mindful Meditation and restorative yoga classes, which will introduce positive affirmations and mantras for you to reflect upon the day.

Keep in mind that yoga classes will be varied, offering you the ability to choose classes that focus on various physical issues, such as yoga to heal back and joint pain, enhance creativity, mental focus and happiness, and more. Classes will focus on the mind, body and spirit over a period of seven days, and will change daily with a new theme.
