Imagine lying back, eyes closed, while the gentle sway of the ocean melts away every trace of stress. That’s the essence of The Floating Spa by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) — a world-class sanctuary where wellness meets wanderlust. Available onboard Norwegian Viva and Norwegian Epic, this one-of-a-kind spa experience combines cutting-edge treatments, thermal circuits, and breathtaking ocean panoramas to create the ultimate luxury at sea.
A Next-Generation Spa on Norwegian Viva
Onboard Norwegian Viva, the Mandara Spa sets a new standard for wellness at sea. Guests can indulge in the cruise industry’s first charcoal sauna at sea, a tranquil salt therapy room, and a mesmerizing two-story waterfall right inside the spa. Heated loungers, a restorative salt pool, and hot-and-cold thermal experiences work together to soothe the body and reset the mind. Norwegian Viva isn’t just a ship — it’s a destination in itself for wellness lovers.
Norwegian Epic’s Iconic Thermal Suite
Norwegian Epic offers an equally indulgent spa journey. Its expansive Thermal Suite includes steam rooms, saunas, and heated tile loungers with uninterrupted ocean views. Whether you’re beginning your day with a sunrise detox or winding down after exploring a port, Epic’s spa provides the perfect escape into serenity.
Signature Treatments for Pure Bliss
- Zero Gravity Wellness Massage – a weightless massage that lulls you into deep relaxation.
- Hot Mineral Body Boost – a detoxifying and balancing therapy using heated minerals.
- Aroma Spa Seaweed Massage – an ocean-inspired blend of seaweed and essential oils to nourish and restore.
Access to the Thermal Suites is limited, ensuring a calm, exclusive atmosphere. Passes allow unlimited access throughout your voyage, making it easy to slip into spa bliss anytime.
