Want to experience a literal lap of luxury around the famed River Seine in fabulous Paris this summer? Look no further than Dior’s Spa Cruise, which will take you on a luxurious journey offering a range of exquisite holistic treatment programs aimed at providing “absolute mental, emotional, and physical well-being.” Talk about being pampered.
Starting in early July, in conjunction with the commencement of Paris Couture Week, the Dior-branded yacht, aptly named “Stunning Excellence,” will be stationed at Port Henri IV. In celebration of the brand’s runway show during Haute Couture Week, the new spa cruise draws inspiration from the historic Bains de la Samaritane floating baths that originated in the 19th century along the Seine River. Guests on this opulent experience will indulge in a diverse spa menu, featuring exclusive Dior Beauty products, all while basking in the breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame in the backdrop.
As a response to the heightened demand for bookings during fashion week, the French fashion house introduced this exceptional spa experience. Before its launch, Dior Spa was primarily known for its two permanent locations in Paris, within the Hôtel Plaza Athénée and the Cheval Blanc. The interior design of the Cheval Blanc Paris cruise tastefully blends elements of the past with modern beauty touches, creating a luxurious ambiance.
The top sundeck is adorned with Dior-branded patio furniture, complemented by leafy palm elements reminiscent of the original design of the historic baths. Below deck, guests can retreat to one of four treatment rooms or the relaxation lounge for a serene experience away from the sun. The cruise offers three single suites and one double suite specially designed for couples.
Two distinct cruise options are available on board, each lasting two hours. The first option offers a choice of one-hour face or body treatment, followed by an hour of relaxation on the deck. The spa menu includes four body massages and three facial options, catering to various themes like relaxation, detox, anti-aging, balance, and empowerment. Alternatively, the wellness cruise includes a one-hour activity such as pilates, respirology, or postural stretching, followed by an hour of rest.
For an indulgent experience, both cruises can be combined for a four-hour journey of pampering. The yacht boasts four individual treatment cabins, one double cabin, a fitness area, a juice bar, and a serene relaxation deck complete with a pool. On the upper deck, which spans 1,290 square feet, guests can relish stunning views of Paris’ iconic landmarks, including the Musée d’Orsay and Grand Palais.
The Dior Prestige, L’Or de Vie, Energizing, and Relaxing Cruise packages feature one-hour face treatments and body massages, each tailored to their respective themes. The Double Suite is a perfect choice for couples, and the last package even includes a 50-minute pilates class. Additionally, a relaxation lounge is available to ensure comfort during unpredictable weather.
As guests embark on this pampering journey, they are provided with Dior robes and slippers to keep the cruise a shoe-free haven. Naturally, a collection of Dior Beauty products is available for purchase, allowing guests to take a piece of the experience home with them. The comprehensive treatment menu also offers a la carte body massages and facial treatments. Alongside steam baths and hydrotherapy, this top-notch spa experience caters to every aspect of relaxation and rejuvenation. Prices for the cruises range from $150 to $1500, providing various options to suit different preferences and budgets. C’est la vie, baby. C’est la vie.
