How was the ocean wellness concept developed and integrated into the spa experience at Explora Journeys?
Inspired by the oceans’ natural forces, Ocean Wellness embraces the mystical power of the sea offering a holistic approach to rejuvenate both body and mind.
Embark on a transformative journey of inner discovery, where each experience is carefully crafted to enhance your energy, promote restful sleep, induce relaxation, foster mindfulness, and boost immunity. Immerse yourself in the calming and revitalising influence of the ocean, culminating in a profound sense of physical and spiritual renewal as you discover the Ocean State of Mind.
We are offering many options for guests onboard to embrace their Ocean State of Mind, including in the Spa and Wellness offering. Such as:
1. The Ocean State of Mind Ritual
The Ocean State of Mind Ritual is an experience where guests can join complimentary, featuring a few times per cruise/journey. This also allows our guests to reconnect with others – a meaningful in-person experience, since we all crave more opportunities to connect with others in an increasingly digital world.
It is a gathering designed to help guests centre and focus themselves on developing their ‘Ocean State of Mind,’ using rotating techniques of visualisation, breath work, sound therapy and meditation in this ever-evolving ritual.
We also incorporate the use of crystals such as
• Amethyst – calming
• Clear quartz – spiritual & energy cleansing + healing
• Lapis Lazuli – seeking wisdom & insight
• Aquamarine – cleansing & provides tranquillity
And sound therapy with bowls as well as the Aqua Koshi chime
We are helping guests find their `Ocean State of Mind` and centre themselves within that. Guests can daily tap into their ‘Ocean State of Mind’ and reap its benefits throughout their journey and beyond.
2. The Ritual of Ocean Renewal Spa Signature Experience - the foundation of our Spa menu as the signature experience
A holistic sensory journey, inspired by the revitalising properties of the ocean, designed to improve mind and body health. Release tension and quieten the mind with this holistic ritual inspired by the oceans’ mystical qualities and soothing power.
Highlights: Breathwork and ocean-inspired visualisation – sound therapy – top to toe hot oil pouring massage – facial lymphatic drainage with aquamarine crystals
3. Open Air Fitness
Working out with a 180-degree sea view whilst EXPLORA I navigates at sea, creates an instant wow and spreads the Ocean State of Mind.
Guests can use Skillrow, GroupCycle bikes and also Technogym Bench in the way they most prefer: they can choose to train individually, receive support from a qualified personal trainer, or participate in exciting and engaging fitness classes.
We also have a variety of virtual training experiences that features on the in-suite TV, that guests can use in conjunction with the Technogym Case or Technogym Bench in the privacy of their suite, whilst having that expansive ocean view.
