One of the most relaxing areas onboard a cruise ship is the
thermal suite, yet many people are unaware of its existence or for that matter, what it is. A thermal suite is a series
of rooms in the spa designed to expose
the body to hot and cold temperatures, both wet and dry. Aside from pure
relaxation, the various rooms are designed to sooth, stimulate circulation,
and detoxify the body as well as invigorate the senses. A thermal spa may consist of saunas, steam
rooms, ice fountains, tropical and cold showers, snow rooms, salt caves etc.
And after trying out the various options there’s nothing quite like a nap on
one of the heated ceramic loungers.

Most cruise lines offer a weekly pass for unlimited access
to the thermal spa, or if you’d prefer, a day pass. There is a limited number to passes that are
sold and they sell out very quickly. If
this is something that would interest you, check to see if the ship you are
cruising allows you to purchase a pass pre-cruise. If not it should be the first thing you do
upon boarding.
In my next post I’ll
tell you what ships have the best thermal suite facilities, so stay tuned!
