Azamara Cruises is elevating its near 20-year partnership with OneSpaWorld with a series of enhancements to the onboard spa experience across its ships. The upgrades will roll out as each ship goes into their scheduled dry docks as part of Azamara’s fleet-wide enhancement program, Azamara Forward.
At the centre of the transformation is the expansion of THESANCTUM spa across Azamara Cruises vessels. Azamara Cruises is dedicating additional onboard space to the spa, enabling the addition of two new treatment rooms, one designed exclusively for couples and one additional single treatment room.
A new retail space located at the entrance of THESANCTUM spa will also welcome guests, offering a curated selection of prestige wellness and beauty products from leading global brands. The space will showcase ELEMIS® luxury skincare brand, as well as Kérastase®, the luxury professional haircare brand. Further enhancing the selection, JOU® Chinese herbs, integral to THESANCTUM’s onboard Acupuncture program, and Good Feet®, whose products support posture, alignment, and an active lifestyle, complete the offering.
Completing the suite of enhancements is the introduction of Medi-Spa and IV services to the THESANCTUM menu. Medi-Spa brings advanced aesthetic treatments administered by licensed physicians onboard, including Thermage® skin tightening, Restylane® dermal fillers, Dysport® wrinkle treatments, and microneedling, each delivering visible results with minimal downtime.
The broadened alliance between Azamara and OneSpaWorld reflect a shared investment in the guest wellness journey and a continued commitment by both organisations to delivering elevated, transformative experiences at sea.
“THESANCTUM has always been about creating a deeply personalised and restorative wellness journey at sea, and these enhancements allow us to elevate that vision even further,” said Martha Brabham, Vice President, Design & Revitalization at Azamara Cruises.
The first installations are scheduled aboard Azamara Pursuit on 18 August 2026, followed by Azamara Quest on 25 November 2026, with additional ship enhancements planned for 2027. Renovation timelines are expected to range from two to four weeks per vessel, depending on the scope of work required.
“These enhancements reflect our shared vision of combining innovation, personalisation, and world-class service to create differentiated experiences that resonate with today’s luxury travellers,” said Claudio Sammartano, Head of Onboard Revenue at Azamara Cruises. “As guest expectations continue to evolve, so will our commitment to investing in experiences that enrich every stage of the journey/”
Leonard Fluxman, Executive Chairman and CEO of OneSpaWorld said: “We are always looking for new ways to enhance the spa experience and find opportunities to bring something meaningful and new to our guests at sea. These latest enhancements are a testament to that ongoing commitment and to the strength of a partnership that continues to grow.”
