Costa Cruise Lines - Italian Style Cruising
Costa’s Costa Serena and Costa Concordia feature the 23,000-square-foot Samsara Spa, which offers Ayurvedic treatments and European-style spa amenities.
Accommodations with direct access to the spa come complete with spa packages and privileges to a private wellness restaurant, creating a “vacation within a vacation” for travelers on the ships’ Mediterranean routes. Costa pioneered this innovative spa concept two years ago when the Costa Concordia became the first cruise ship to boast spa accommodations and restaurant.
The line followed suit in 2007 with the introduction of the Costa Serena, which, as a sister ship to the Costa Concordia, also boasts the Samsara Spa. Guests who choose spa accommodations receive a host of amenities including flat-screen televisions, Elemis bath accessories and a “Welcome Ritual,” all included in the cruise price.
The “Welcome Ritual” features unlimited access to the spa and its amenities including a thalassotherapy pool, rock sauna, steam baths, hot and cold thermal baths, ocean-view solariums, relaxation lounges, and a tepidarium.
Guests who reserve these accommodations will also receive two complimentary spa treatments, two complimentary fitness and wellness classes, a personalized wellness consultation, two sun-lamp sessions in the solarium and an invitation to a Japanese spa tea ceremony.
In addition, guests who reserve spa accommodations have access to wellness cuisine in the Ristorante Samsara. This specialty restaurant features spa-friendly cuisine. The Costa Serena features a Samsara Spa with 99 accommodations (87 cabins and 12 suites) while the Costa Concordia boasts 67 (55 cabins and 12 suites).
