Generation Y is getting a taste of adult treats — and treatments — with the introduction of Royal Caribbean`s Y spa, a menu of teen spa treatments and services specifically tailored to the line`s younger guests.
Y Spa provides the perfect opportunity for our teen guests to forget about school stress and return from vacation refreshed and ready to go, said David Stanley, vice president, Fleet Operations Revenue, for Royal Caribbean International. It is also a chance for mothers and daughters or fathers and sons to share some quality time while being pampered by our spa staff.
Offered fleetwide to male and female guests ages 13 to 17, Y Spa features treatments including massages, facials, hair and nail treatments, and fitness classes.
To melt muscle tension away, teens can choose a 25-minute aromatherapy massage or a Surfers Scrub. The Scrub, an invigorating sea salt scrub with seaweed, is perfect for tired muscles after a day of rock climbing onboard or exploring ashore. Moms and dads can get in on the special treats and spend time with their teens with a 25-minute Mother and Daughter Paradise Massage or a Father and Son Chill Out Massage.
Teen cruisers can tackle skin problems with a 50-minute Acne Attack facial, featuring an advanced oxygen treatment, or enjoy the sweet scents of a Fabulous Fruity facial that deep cleans skin with a mixture of organic, fresh fruits. Teens looking for a safe tanning alternative can take advantage of the Fake Bake — an invigorating body scrub followed by an application of self- tanning cream to the face and body.
For special evenings out at the teen disco, Royal Caribbean`s salons offer styling sessions with a personalized consultation followed by color and a cut, as well as 25-minute manicures or 45-minute pedicures.
At the gym, fitness buffs wanting to stay in shape on vacation can sign up for the Fitness Frenzy package. Participants sweat it out in three specialized boot-camp style classes run by the ships` fitness staff and also receive a personalized metabolism test.
Teen guests must receive parental consent to receive treatment from the Y Spa menu. Only teens 16 years or older will be able to participate in the Fitness Frenzy classes. Prices range from $23 for a manicure to $100 for a Stylin` Session, which includes a personal consultation, color and cut. The Y Spa treatments were developed by Elemis for the Royal Caribbean day spas, which are operated by Steiner Leisure Management.
