Marella Cruises has partnered with UK firm Champneys to introduce health spa facilities onboard its new ship, Marella Explorer.
The spa will feature a full treatment menu, including facials, body wraps, massages, manicures and acupuncture, as well as a salon, wellness centre and relaxation room.
“We’re delighted to announce this partnership with Champneys onboard our fantastic new addition Marella Explorer,” said Helen Caron, distribution and cruise director at TUI UK & Ireland, the parent company of Marella Cruises. “We’re proud to be known for the friendliest service at sea and Champneys’ world-class service really mirrors this. Our ships offer holidaymakers a relaxing home from home that they can return to following a full day of exploring a destination and this new introduction onboard Marella Explorer will ensure they can fully unwind in luxury onboard.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Marella Cruises from next year, offering the very best Champneys spa experience onboard Marella Explorer,” said Stephen Purdew, co-owner of Champneys. “We’re confident that our state-of-the-art spa will bring even more enjoyment to guests’ holidays and can’t wait to hear about their experiences.”
Marella Cruises is the new name for Thomson Cruises, following the rebrand of Thomson to TUI.
Marella Explorer, the newest and largest ship in the fleet, will begin sailing from a base in Palma, Majorca, from May 2018. It will feature two new cabin types, Indigo and Aperitif bars, Scoops ice-cream parlour, The Lounge live music venue, plus new dining venues Umi Sushi and The Mediterranean.
