As wellness tourism has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global travel industry, MSC Cruises has introduced a new era of wellness at sea.

Launching across the fleet throughout 2026, the enhanced MSC Aurea Spa has transformed the traditional cruise spa into a comprehensive wellness and beauty experience with spa rituals, advanced skin technologies and personalized services seen at leading wellness resorts.

The new services available on select ships beginning Summer 2026 include rejuvenating IV therapies and aesthetic medicine to AI-powered skin diagnostics and innovative skincare treatments.

Highlights of the new spa experience include:

  • IV therapy, aesthetic injectables, dermal fillers and permanent make-up performed by licensed professionals.
  • Cutting-edge hydro-microdermabrasion technology and premium skincare solutions from renowned brand Opatra London.
  • Personalized skin assessments providing tailored treatment recommendations and product guidance.
  • Deep relaxing scalp and hair ritual inspired by traditional Japanese wellness practices, rolling out fleetwide from Summer 2026.
  • Advanced whitening treatments delivered by qualified specialists using the latest technology.
  • Men's grooming experiences including scalp consultations and therapeutic massage treatments.
  • Safe, hygienic piercing services using hypoallergenic jewelry.

In addition, guests can enjoy a curated menu of wellness teas from Team Dr Joseph before or after treatments, designed to support relaxation and recovery.

From Summer 2026, select MSC Aurea Spa guests will receive a premium wellness pochette featuring curated products and amenities, including branded flip-flops, shaving kits and other wellness essentials for their rejuvenating journey at sea.
