Press Release: Silversea Cruises Silversea Cruises Introduces Enhancements to Its Award-Winning Mandara Spa Enhanced spa to feature poolside cabana service and new body products by Elemis (Ft. Lauderdale, FL - May 13, 2003) Silversea Cruises today announced enhancements to its acclaimed Mandara Spa that will take the spa's comprehensive program of fitness, beauty and spa therapies to a new level. Recently voted the top "Spa at Sea" by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine, Silversea's Mandara Spa is expanding its hours and staff, adding poolside cabana treatments and rolling out a selection of new Spa Therapies by Elemis, the renowned lifestyle aromatherapy brand. The poolside massage cabanas and the new Elemis spa products will debut this month aboard Silver Wind, when the ultra-luxury ship re-enters service fresh from a multi-million dollar refurbishment, and will be featured aboard the line's other ships next month. "We're very excited about adding the new Elemis products and poolside cabanas," said Helen McCabe-Young, Silversea's Vice President of Worldwide Marketing. "In keeping true to Mandara's Eastern philosophy, we're adding holistic products that feature the finest essential oils and seeking out natural venues that provide the serene surroundings that are so important to the therapeutic process." Added McCabe-Young, "Private in-suite massages are a choice that's becoming increasingly popular with our guests. In a few of our larger suites, guests can even enjoy the massage alfresco on their private verandas. The addition of the poolside cabanas gives our guests another option where they can fully immerse themselves in a natural and rejuvenating experience in refreshing open-air surroundings." Guests will be able to select from an expanded menu of spa services that meld together traditional European spa therapies, ancient Balinese techniques, and exotic natural spices, fruits and minerals to create the perfect de-stressing spa journey. With the addition of Elemis aromatherapy products, many treatments will now feature essential oils and plant extracts of unsurpassed therapeutic value. Elemis insists on using only first-extraction essential oils and absolutes, which have an aroma 40 times that of an essential oil. In the tranquil ambiance of a poolside cabana, a private suite, or the ship's indoor spa facilities, Silversea guests can indulge in such heavenly delights as the Elemis Absolute Spa Ritual, a complete journey of rejuvenation for the face and body. It blends the scientific skin therapy and pure plant essences of the Elemis Japanese Silk Booster Facial with Mandara's signature Massage Around the World, featuring some of the finest massage techniques from Asia and Europe. Silversea recently renewed its contract with Mandara Spa. The new agreement enables Mandara to continue its successful relationship as Silversea's exclusive provider of unique spa and massage services, professional hair and nail care, beauty treatments, and fitness programs. Watch for additional enhancements to include refreshed Balinese décor for treatment rooms. Also, in the coming weeks, Silversea will begin offering a selection of spa treatments and Elemis product baskets as "bon voyage" gifts that travel agents and friends can send to Silversea guests to add the perfect touch to a voyage that promises to be the ultimate rejuvenating experience.
