Crystal — named the No. 1 Midsize-Ship Ocean Cruise Line in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026 — has four new Wellness at Sea® retreats in 2027. On top of being all-inclusive, these dedicated voyages aboard Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony will feature expert-led programming focused on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness and longevity science.
Crystal’s wellness-themed cruise departures will include activities that focus on a traveler’s mind, body and spirit, from cooking lessons and health lectures to gratitude journaling and pickleball. In 2027, the popular cruise line will add unique “wine-fulness workshops,” combining wine tasting and pairing with health and fitness goals.

What You Can Expect From a Wellness at Sea Retreat
Each sailing is built around four core pillars designed to support a holistic approach to self-care:

- Mental Well-Being: Techniques such as breathwork, meditation, sound healing and gratitude journaling are taught to calm the mind and achieve mental clarity.
- Longevity Science: Guests can learn about healthy aging, resilience and the latest advancements in longevity research.
- Physical Activity: All wellness-focused guests are encouraged to stay active throughout the cruise through pickleball, Pilates, yoga, aquatic fitness and dance lessons.
