Costa Concordia boasted unique healthy and fitness features when she joined the fleet in July 2006.
The 112-000-ton Concordia has total capacity for 3,800 passengers and facilities which are second-to-none. The most notable of these is a stunning 1,900 sq m health and fitness area which extends over two decks and is one of the biggest ever on a cruise ship.
The centre, called the Samsara Spa, even has its own suites and cabins which are situated with direct access to the spa and are designed to compliment its oriental style.
The spa offers a wealth of treatments including meditation, thalassotherapy and a mud treatment based on an ancient Middle Eastern ritual where clay and steam are used to nourish skin. It also has its own restaurant and menu.
Guests who take Samsara suites or cabins automatically receive a package of treatments which includes an invitation to a tea ceremony, personal health and fitness consultation, two meditation or fitness lessons, two treatments of choice and two solarium visits.
