Azamara Cruises and OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited have announced a series of enhancements to the onboard spa experience as part of their nearly 20-year partnership.
The upgrades will roll out fleetwide across Azamara Cruises vessels as each ship enters a scheduled drydock as part of Azamara Cruises’ fleetwide enhancement program, Azamara Forward.
“OneSpaWorld has been a trusted partner to Azamara for almost 20 years, and together we have continually challenged ourselves to elevate the onboard wellness experience,” said Claudio Sammartano, head of onboard revenue at Azamara Cruises.
“THESANCTUM has always been about creating a deeply personalized and restorative wellness journey at sea, and these enhancements allow us to elevate that vision even further,” said Martha Brabham, vice president, design and revitalization at Azamara Cruises.
“What makes our partnership with Azamara Cruises so special is the collaborative spirit that drives it,” said Leonard Fluxman, executive chairman and CEO of OneSpaWorld.
According to the partners, the enhancement reflects a shared investment in the guest wellness journey and a continued commitment by both organizations to delivering elevated, transformative experiences at sea.
The first installations are scheduled aboard the Azamara Pursuit on August 18, 2026, followed by the Azamara Quest on November 25, 2026, with additional ship enhancements planned for 2027.
Renovation timelines are expected to range from two to four weeks per vessel, depending on the scope of work required, Azamara said in a press release.
Azamara stated that at the center of the transformation is the expansion of THESANCTUM spa across Azamara Cruises vessels.
Azamara Cruises is dedicating additional onboard space to the spa, enabling the addition of two new treatment rooms, one designed exclusively for couples and one additional single treatment room.
A new retail space at the entrance to THESANCTUM spa will also welcome guests, offering a curated selection of prestige wellness and beauty products from leading global brands.
The space will showcase brands such as Elemis, Kerastase, JOU and Good Feet.
In addition to the enhancements, Medi-Spa and IV services have been added to the menu.
Medi-Spa brings advanced aesthetic treatments administered by licensed physicians onboard, including Thermage skin tightening, Restylane dermal fillers, Dysport wrinkle treatments and microneedling.
