Let it snow on the sea

Spanning two decks with unobstructed ocean views, Mandara Spa onboard Norwegian Escape takes at-sea spa luxury to a whole new level. Its sprawling thermal retreat features a range of facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, whirlpools, steam room, sauna, heated loungers, sanarium and a therapeutic salt chamber, which can alleviate respiratory and skin ailments. But the real wow factor lies in the arctic Snow Room, which sends out a flurry of powdery snow throughout the day. Ranging from a frosty -6°C to 0°C, it is designed to go with the adjacent super-heated sauna, so you can go from hot to cold to stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the immune system. Offering some of the most innovative and holistic spa treatments at sea, the menu offers an extensive range of treatments including reiki, acupuncture, body wraps, detoxification, and skin polishes, using natural ingredients and luxury Elemis skincare. ncl.com.au
