Although many cruise lines partner with Steiner for their spa services, luxury line Regent Seven Seas Cruises has an exclusive agreement with Carita of Paris throughout its fleet. Regent began using Carita on the Paul Gauguin in Tahiti in 1997, and because of its success chose to launch Carita spas throughout the fleet in 2004. Regent Seven Seas is the only cruise line to feature the high-end Carita spa, and RSSC's passengers have access to one of the most exclusive land-based spa operations in the world, known since it founding in 1950.

Partnering with Carita for Spa Alternative
Renowned in the European high society of their day as "magicians of beauty," sisters Rosy and Maria Carita founded Carita with a single aim: to unveil "the touch of charm inside everyone with made-to-measure solutions." The Carita approach couples pleasure with effectiveness, sophistication with simplicity and research with the expertise of highly trained beauty therapists.

Carita: Art & Science
An artful fusing of science and nature is at the heart of Carita's exclusive Pro-Lift skin care therapiesm, combining a therapist's sensitive touch with the spa's revolutionary Pro-Lift technology. This ultra-effective process cleanses deep down and makes skin visibly firmer and more radiant.

Carita is also famous for treatments designed for superior relaxation and rejuvenation. Renovateur, a unique exfoliating process, has been a Carita secret since 1960. It is a blend of sunflower seeds and essential oils that when combined with specific "sculpting" techniques, delivers exceptional results. Among the many exclusive treatments offered in the shipboard Caritas is a Renovator Lift Fermete, which repairs mature skin's signs of aging. The treatment, which firms fine facial lines and wrinkles, has been called a non-surgical face-lift.

Pampering for Rejuvenation
Designed as the perfect complement to cruising and as a luxurious refuge from everyday stresses, the Carita Spas combine the art of gentle pampering with renewal and rejuvenation. Under the supervision of Carita-trained staff, passengers enjoy an extensive range of physical regimens including health and revitalization therapies. With the flair that makes Carita the favored retreat of celebrities like Catherine Deneuve, Isabel Adjani, Anita Eckberg and others, massage (anti-stress or therapeutic), thalassotherapy, reflexology, aromatherapy, stone therapy, body wraps, facials, steam room and beauty treatments are also available.

Throughout the Regent Seven Seas fleet, the Carita Spas include Beauty Salons with teams of hairdressers from renowned Parisian salons. In addition to hair cutting, coloring and styling, passengers may also indulge themselves with manicures and pedicures.
