A Cruise Samsara: welcome in a world of privileges

A holiday dedicated to pleasure for the senses and the mind: pampering, relaxation, targeted treatments and lots of cosseting for an experience of total well-being that will envelope you throughout your cruise, day after day. Beginning with the special comforts of the Samsara Cabins and Suites, the Welcome Ritual reserved for Samsara Guests, to the exclusive pleasure of the Samsara Restaurant.

In Cabin and Suite Samsara: an exclusive experience to enjoy thoroughly

The Welcome Ritual is a series of privileges dedicated to people who choose the pleasure of a wellness cruise in a Samsara Cabin or Suite. An advisor will help you achieve well-being day after day, sunbathing and enjoying thalassotherapy baths, therapeutic massages and purification rituals. In fact the ritual includes unlimited access to the Spa areas, including use of the thalassotherapy pool, Tridosha Shrine and Temple of Peace, plus the opportunity to choose fitness and meditation treatments and lessons.

Treatments and lessons included in the Ritual: the best way to choose

When you start a wellness circuit it's not always easy to choose among all the treatments on offer: will a Balinese massage be more effective than the Samsara stone aromatherapy? Yoga or Pilates? For this reason, your privileges on a Samsara cruise include two tickets to the Solarium, two treatments and two lessons of your choice from a selection designed specifically for you!

Purification starts from inside

A delicate ayurvedic infusion awaits you in the Japanese Tea Room: another one of the little privileges offered to those who choose a Samsara cruise, like the daily opportunity to enjoy meals in the Samsara Restaurant, based on carefully selected healthy ingredients transformed into light and imaginative dishes to provide the right balance between well-being and Flavor every time. And for snacking between meals or in your cabin, the Samsara Cabin and Suites mini bar and room service provide low calorie products and menus plus a selection of teas to enjoy at any time of day.

A different pleasure every day

Many different forms of care are required to achieve well-being: movement, relaxation, beauty treatments, a healthy and balanced diet and purification of the skin. The Samsara experience will help you achieve perfect harmony, the ideal balance between all the elements that contribute to well-being.

All services and treatments that we offer can be booked directly on board.

• The Ayurvedic ritual: Ayurvedic massage originates from Indian medicine and is used to restore physical and mental balance and well-being.

On board you'll be able to choose between various ayurvedic rituals to achieve the inner balance and well-being most suited to you.
• Therapeutic massages: Brushing, vibration, pressure, friction. Massage is a therapeutic treatment known since antiquity. The essential requirement is to let go and relax completely. Each treatment - from Balinese massages to stone therapy, aromatherapy or four-handed massage – is an important stimulus to encourage the flow of energy and revitalize the body.
