Details of Seabourn‘s new spa and wellness experience to be offered aboard the ultra-luxury line’s new expedition ships have been revealed for the first time.
Located on Deck 7 of Seabourn Venture and her sister ship, Spa & Wellness has been designed by Adam D. Tihany and will offer opportunities for guests to enhance their expedition with physical, social, environmental and spiritual wellbeing. The experience will be offered through Seabourn’s onboard Mindful Living Program: Spa & Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil.
“Spa & Wellness is sure to be a standout space for our guests to embrace feelings of wellbeing in the midst of adventure on expeditions to the wonders of the world on our expedition ships,” Josh Leibowitz, President of Seabourn, said.
“Over the past year, wellness has grown in importance in many people’s personal lives, and our highly-trained staff will be devoted to providing a robust series of mind and body programs and rejuvenating treatments developed in collaboration with Dr. Weil to ensure travellers can relax, reconnect, and recharge during their time on board.”

Details include a textured tree-inspired art mural, light wood-and-bronze material palette, and live wood features to usher guests into the reception area.
Striking natural stone flooring plays off muted sage and orange accent colours found throughout the spa, while the branches of the ‘floating forest’ spread into four tranquil treatment rooms, each arrayed with neutral, textured wall coverings, light wood, and bronze accents.
Tihany’s design touches continue into the spa’s yoga and fitness areas, both of which feature an open wall of windows for guests to soak up floor-to-ceiling views of the sparkling seas and coastal panoramas. The spa’s sauna will also offer floor-to-ceiling windows, a new design amenity for Seabourn and unique to the expedition ships.
Integral to the Spa & Wellness onboard experience will be the popular Mindful Living Program, developed by Dr. Andrew Weil and currently available across the Seabourn fleet. Led by a specially trained Mindful Living Coach, the program will comprise a holistic mind-and-body approach to wellbeing. Guests can enjoy complimentary yoga and guided meditation sessions, as well as illuminating seminars on topics ranging from integrative medicine to nutrition, pain management to creative aging, and more.
Skilled therapists will offer massage for the face and body, as well as detox, cleansing and wrap services. The fitness centre within the spa will be outfitted with a range of cardio and strength equipment, with a Fitness Director on hand to offer spot-on assessments and train guests in various fitness regimes.
A full-service salon will also be part of the scene, with hair styling, facials, manicures and pedicures available for women and men.
Seabourn Venture is scheduled to launch in December 2021, with the second yet-to-be-named sister ship slated to launch in 2022. Seabourn Venture will sail on a series of 10- to 14-day Norwegian Winter voyages during her inaugural season between December 2021 and April 2022.
