The new program is available aboard Seven Seas Voyager on all but one seven- to 10-night Mediterranean cruise from late May through September
Regent Seven Seas Cruises introduced Seven Seas Wellness, a program that pairs wellness-themed excursions with a curated selection of Canyon Ranch SpaClub Services. It debuts this summer on Seven Seas Voyager's Mediterranean sailings.

'From eating right and exercising to practicing ways to reduce stress and experience moments that uplift the spirit, wellness is quickly becoming the ultimate luxury,' Regent president and ceo Jason Montague said.

The new initiative allows Canyon Ranch to share the the holistic lifestyle that the company embodies to like-minded luxury travelers on land and at sea, according to Kathleen Shea, chief marketing officer, Canyon Ranch.

Travelers who choose a Seven Seas Wellness experience will get a wellness-themed excursion from more than 10 options in Mediterranean destinations. They then select one of five included, 50-minute Canyon Ranch spa services: World of Relief Body Buff, Tangle Me Up Wrap, Ocean Scrub, Sole Rejuvenation or Vitamin Infusion Facial.

Seven Seas Wellness experiences include, for example, from Marseille, a tai chi class in the garden courtyard of the Pharo Palace, built on a promontory overlooking the Mediterranean. From Sorrento passengers can immerse themselves in the hydrothermal pools of the Stufe di Nerone Baths and tour the famous burning Phlegreaen Fields.

In Venice they can visit a new attraction related to city's perfume tradition at the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo, explore how fragrance affects emotion and create their own perfume to take home. And, in Athens, travelers can swim, snorkel or simply float in the brackish hydrothermal, mineral waters of Vouliagmeni Lake then take part in a spiritual yoga session.

Plus, Regent is expanding the breakfast bar at the Pool Grill on board with an array of more healthful items, from low-fat yogurt and homemade muesli to a selection of nuts and exotic fresh fruits sliced or made into smoothies. At dinner they can choose Canyon Ranch Balanced Selection appetizers, entrees and desserts.

And all passengers can take advantage of Canyon Ranch SpaClub and Fitness Center options, including reiki, acupuncture, fitness classes, personal training, educational presentations and workshops.

The new Seven Seas Voyager program is available on seven- to 10-night Mediterranean cruises from late May through September, except the July 25 voyage.

There is a supplemental charge of $299 per person, per port experience and spa service pairing. The program will be available for reservations in April.
