Spa lovers will have something to celebrate when MSC Cruises launches their MSC Aurea Spa Suites later this year.

This new category of staterooms will be similar to what is already available on the ultra-luxurious MSC Yacht Club. The first MSC ships to get Spa Suites will be MSC Fantasia and MSC Splendida.

In addition to having a spa at their fingertips, passengers who are fortunate enough to be able to afford an Aurea Spa Suite will also receive a host of extra services, including a welcome cocktail at the Aurea Spa Bar. They will also enjoy unrestricted access to the Thermal Suite steam room and sauna.

Just in case all their aches and pains are not cured by the spa the first time round, they will also get a free consultation with none other than the spa doctor. Women will no doubt love the 30-minute facial relax treatment, while both men and women will probably adore the free 30-minute Balinese Massage.

To top it off there will be a free solarium session, where lucky passengers will get a full-body tan regardless of the weather outside.

The first Spa Suites can be reserved on MSC Fantasia when she departs from Genoa on the 5th November for an 11-night round trip visiting Spain, Italy, Portugal and Morocco.

On MSC Splendida the Spa Suites will debut when the ship leaves from Genoa on the 13th November for an 11-night cruise to Italy, Greece and Turkey.
