Crystal unveils third annual wellness at sea cruises
Luxury line Crystal announced its third annual series of Wellness at Sea retreat voyages aboard Crystal Symphony.
They will sail in August 2026 during National Wellness Month.
The retreats run from 17 to 24 August from Vancouver to San Diego, followed immediately by a second voyage from 24 August to 5 September from San Diego to Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Guests can book either individually or combine as a back-to-back voyage.
Leading the programme again is Dalila Roglieri, Crystal’s wellness ambassador and registered nutritionist.
Roglieri has expertise in nutrition science and Mediterranean lifestyle principles, and will be joined by returning specialists Jenni Demus, yoga and mental well-being specialist; Mandi Appelberg, fitness and yoga specialist; and Magnus Appelberg, cold exposure expert, somatic therapist and yoga and meditation teacher.
The team will also welcome Chef Abbie Gellman, a nationally recognised culinary nutrition authority, author and director of Teaching Kitchen and Culinary Medicine at SBH Health System in New York.
Guests will be guided through a series of immersive Wellness at Sea sessions including yoga and meditation, sound baths, functional training, and breathwork plus mind-reset classes.
The voyage also features a two-day detox at sea.
The programme will once again include an educational focus on longevity science, with lectures exploring key topics such as aging well, and maintaining a sharp mind and a strong, vital body.
All recipes are created by Crystal’s culinary team under Roglieri’s guidance in nutrition science, highlighting flavour and nourishment.
Guests can enjoy hands-on wellness cuisine workshops and demonstrations led by Gellman and Roglieri.
Crystal will offer pickleball instruction led by an onboard coach and classes are available for all levels.
“These voyages represent wellness at its most complete, where every sunrise, every movement and every meal becomes part of a greater harmony,” said Dalila Roglieri, Crystal’s wellness ambassador.
The 2026 Wellness at Sea retreat voyages are now open for booking on crystalcruises.com. Details of the 2027 Wellness Retreat will be announced in the coming months.
