Crystal spa program attracts men

A program of spa treatments designed for men has led to a 20 percent increase in participation on the Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity of Crystal Cruises.

Crystal has been working with Elemis, a spa brand in the United Kingdom to launch its “Time for Men” program. Men’s facials, salon grooming and shaving and body therapies are part of the program, which takes place on the ship’s feng shui-designed spas.

Steiner Leisure, a large spa company, operates the facility. It has a fitness component designed by Cleveland Clinic featuring Tai Chi and health and fitness seminars. Passengers can walk their way to health with Debbie Rocker’s Walk on Water program launched several years ago.
