THE LATEST HEALTH AND WELLBEING NEWS FROM AROUND THE CRUISE WORLD

Super foo dies

Healthy-eating restaurant Aquamar Kitchen is among the dining options to be introduced by Oceania Cruises on new ship Vista when it launches in early 2023.

Breakfast options revealed so far include cold-pressed raw juices and super-food smoothies, homemade granola, organic power bowls and savoury breakfast wraps. The lunch menu will offer items such as slow-roasted organic salmon with quinoa tabbouleh and lemon tahini or yellowfin tacos with white cabbage slaw.

It will be one of 12 dining venues for the culinary-focused line, also including American-inspired classics at Ember, steak and seafood at Polo Grill, Tuscan cuisine at Toscana and pan-Asian dishes at Red Ginger (oceaniacruises.com).

Indulge in Otium

A spa where you can eat chocolate and sip champagne? Sign us up! Yes, you read that correctly – the new Otium spa from Silversea Cruises is all about prioritising indulgence and positivity over sweat and sacrifi ce. Inspired by the Romans, you can expect spa treatments using honey or Argan oil – plus a glass of champers with your mani-pedi – and quiet spots to relax. The concept also extends to your suite, where tailor-made mattresses, 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and a pillow menu o er a peaceful night’s sleep, along with scented bath salts, natural loofahs, spa amenities and a sea-inspired cocktail list to enjoy on your veranda. It will be available on Silver Dawn, due to set sail in spring, and new ship Silver Nova, launching in summer 2023 (silversea.com).

FUN IN THE SUN

You might be feeling sun-starved and desperate to jet away this summer, but it’s crucial to shield your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Monat’s new Sun Veil mineral-based sunscreen offers SPF30 and UVA/UVB protection and can be used daily before you apply your make up. It’s sweat and waterresistant, suitable for all skin types and coral-reef friendly so marine life will be protected (£38, monatglobal.com/uk).

SO SCENTED

Hand sanitiser is a must any time you travel, but if you hate the smell, try this lightly scented Pure & Clean hand gel from So..? Its 60% ethanol formulation will protect you against bacteria, plus it’s vegan-friendly and available in a handy 50ml travel size (£1.49, Superdrug).
