Imagine this: you’re gliding down the Seine River in Paris, surrounded by stunning views of iconic landmarks. But you’re not just on a sightseeing cruise; you’re indulging in a luxurious spa experience. That’s the vision behind Dior’s first-ever spa cruise.
Luxury on the Water
The renowned fashion house has expanded its spa offerings beyond its two Parisian locations, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée and the Cheval Blanc. This new venture, inspired by the historic Bains de la Samaritaine (19th-century floating baths), provides a unique and unforgettable spa experience. The high demand for spa bookings during the upcoming haute couture shows in Paris prompted Dior to create this innovative floating sanctuary.
A Modern Take on a Classic
Stepping aboard the spa cruise, you’ll be greeted by a stylish ambiance reminiscent of the original Bains de la Samaritaine. The top sundeck features Dior-branded loungers and rattan furniture under charming parasols adorned with the house’s signature toile de jouy print. Lush palm trees add a touch of natural elegance, evoking the serene atmosphere of the original bathhouse.
Indulge in a World of Pampering
Below deck, you’ll discover four soothing treatment suites, including one for couples. A cozy relaxation lounge awaits those seeking respite from the elements. Of course, Dior’s signature touch extends to luxurious robes and slippers, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience. And if you fall in love with any of the products used during your treatment, you can purchase them right on board.
Tailored Treatments with Stunning Views
The spa cruise offers two-hour sessions, each incorporating a 60-minute treatment and an hour of leisurely river views. The specialized spa menu features a range of indulgent options. Choose from two relaxing or invigorating massages or two radiance-boosting facial treatments: the Dior Prestige Cruise, inspired by the rejuvenating power of the Granville Rose, or the L’or De Vie Cruise, which incorporates the restorative properties of Yquem sap. An expert consultation ensures your treatment is tailored to your unique needs. As you lie back and relax, enjoy the soothing sounds of the lapping water and the gentle sway of the boat as you pass iconic landmarks like the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Musée d’Orsay.
A Luxurious Conclusion
Following your treatment, enjoy a delightful tea in the lounge or a refreshing cocktail on the sundeck. To maintain the exclusivity of the experience, only five guests are allowed aboard at any given time. This ensures a truly private and intimate setting.
Active Options Available
For those seeking a more active experience, the spa cruise also offers morning fitness sessions including an hour of yoga, pilates, barre, or tai chi. Private bookings are available for half-day, full-day, or evening experiences.
A Unique Parisian Experience
The Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris cruise runs from June 29th to July 13th, 2022. Prices start at 150€ for a one-hour pilates cruise and go up to 1500€ for a private two-hour cruise for two people, including 60-minute treatments.
Experience a luxurious spa journey like no other on the Seine, combining the elegance of Dior with the picturesque beauty of Paris.
