MSC Preziosa to offer exclusive beauty treatments based on precious minerals

The internationally renowned MSC Aurea Spa, a 1,700-square metre oriental paradise with superb sea views and exotic modern décor combining natural stones, wood and rich mosaics, will be taken to exclusive new heights on board MSC Cruises’ latest flagship MSC Preziosa.

 

Inspired by the name MSC Preziosa, the theme of preciousness infuses every detail of the ship’s design, from her 18 decks named after precious stones right down to the exclusive new wellness and beauty treatments available in the MSC Aurea Spa.

 

When MSC Preziosa sets sail on 23 March 2013 after her star-studded christening ceremony in Genoa, Italy, travellers on board can enjoy an entirely original range of signature treatments inspired by precious minerals, the first of many exciting new spa features exclusive to MSC’s new flagship to be unveiled. 

 

Precious facial treatments

The first sophisticated facial treatment on offer is a hematite-based Preziosa anti-age facial, which includes cleansing, exfoliation, a facial mask and the use of hematite cream to stimulate the production of collagen, known to have a plumping, wrinkle-filling effect.

 

Also available is the rodochrosite-based Preziosa purifying and anti-stress facial, a treatment created for its purification capacities and for relieving anxiety, which involves cleansing, exfoliation, a facial mask and the use of rodochrosite cream.

 

Precious body treatments

 

MSC Preziosa’s mineral-based body treatments are perfect for combatting cellulite and leaving the skin soft and bright. Treatments available include 30-minute Aroma Balneo "cell & relax”,  a salt clay whirlpool bath made from sea salt grains, vegetable extracts, active ingredients and essential oils, and 60-minute Ultimate "dry & wet" aroma cell, a firming, moisturizing and protective clay body mask.

 

MSC travellers can also counteract the adverse effects of sun, sand and sea with Preziosa body protection and anti-aging, based on the mineral malachite.  Known for its protective and anti-aging capacities, this malachite based treatment includes a body scrub, body mask, and malachite cream massage. The 60-minute treatment provides the skin with wonderful protection against pollution and is particularly recommended in cases of exposure to sun and salt.

 

This fabulous precious mineral menu is only one of a whole range of exciting new wellness and beauty features exclusive to MSC Preziosa. Stay tuned to www.mscpressarea.com to learn more about the precious moments of pure relaxation to be enjoyed on the latest addition to the MSC Cruises’ fleet.
