The new spa concept is to beimplemented aboard Silver Wind in July, and will be expanded to the line's other two ships, Silver Cloud and Silver Whisper, in the following months.

Says Silversea CEO Erling Frydenberg: "This is a further step in the evolution of our comprehensive Wellness Programme, which we introduced across our fleet last year. Being able to maintain a healthy lifestyle away from home is becoming increasingly important to today's affluent traveller and we want to ensure our guests have access to a spa, beauty and fitness centre that caters to their personal needs with an exclusive selection of innovative treatments and state-of-the-art spa technology."

In conjunction with the new spa concept, Silver Shadow now offers a cutting-edge body age assessment technology that tests body fat, cardiovascular health, strength and flexibility to see how the guest's body age compares with his or her actual chronological age. Based on the results, The Spa's personal trainers can design an accurate lifestyle programme for the guest and recommend an onboard fitness regime complemented by delicious gourmet dining options developed specifically for the Wellness Programme.

Among the enhanced spa treatments and services is a new selection of specialised Wellness Ceremonies designed to address specific concerns such as aging skin, cellulite, arthritis, poor circulation, sore muscles and more, while other ceremonies are ideal for those who just want to escape into a relaxing sanctuary.
