Diamonds will be a girl’s best friend onboard P&O Cruises’ latest superliner Pacific Jewel with its spa offering a signature facial treatment featuring a diamond-infused serum.
Spread over the top two decks of the ship’s bow and occupying 1300 square metres, ‘Aqua’ will be Australasia’s largest spa at sea, with 11 oceanview treatment rooms, a salon, fitness centre and thermal suite.
Managed by US-based spa operator Steiner Leisure, Aqua’s treatments will range from energising facials, revitalising body wraps and massages to acupuncture and personal training.
The Pacific Jewel Facial, which is exclusive to the ship, uses a combination of essential oils infused with a diamond in each bottle to energise and brighten the skin and improve cell activity.
The spa will also feature a special scrub and polish bar where guests can choose from a range of aromatic products to add to their treatment, including vanilla pods and salt crystals.
Many of the treatments on offer will be exclusively available on Pacific Jewel, including a bamboo massage that uses oil-soaked bamboo shoots to massage tired muscles.
Recent research conducted for P&O Cruises indicated that Sydneysiders enjoy taking time out for themselves while on holidays, so Aqua is expected to be a popular destination for cruise passengers.
Pacific Jewel will debut in Australian waters on December 13, 2009, operating cruises from Sydney year-round.
Fares for 10-night South Pacific cruises onboard Pacific Jewel to the tranquil islands of New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands and Vanuatu start from $1559* per person twin share. Departing Sydney on January 9 or 19, 2010, the voyages will call at Noumea, Ouvea, Vila and Wala before returning.
