GWYNETH PALTROW’S UPCOMING GOOP AT SEA CRUISE PROMISES OPTIMUM WELLNESS ON AN ALREADY- INDULGENT AND CLASSIC MED ITINERARY.

- BY JORDAN ABBY

Gwyneth Paltrow’s upcoming goop At Sea cruise promises optimum wellness on an already-indulgent new ship and classic Med itinerary.

Sessions will focus on the power of your mind and harnessing that power for a positive outlook.

No one needs an actual excuse to push the reset button on personal well-being. Lifestyle brand goop, the brainchild program of celebrity Gwyneth Paltrow, is joining Celebrity Apex for a Mediterran­ean cruise with the spotlight trained on the inspiratio­nal aspects of the brand’s viral popularity, supplement­ed by the innumerabl­e benefits of cruising.

What began as a weekly newsletter in 2008 has quickly grown into a multifacet­ed community of devotees, touching on the cultural, physical, and mental aspects of life as well as nutritiona­l and personal well-being topics. Addressing the body, mind, and spirit, the retreat-like escape (officially called goop at Sea) will include seminars, meditation sessions, bonus gifts, and amenities. For instance, Paltrow and goop Chief Content Officer Elise Loehnen will share their passion and visions for the company’s ever-evolving journey in keynote presentati­ons, while additional sessions will focus on the power of your mind and harnessing that power for a positive outlook, all while workout classes will tap into the physical potential of the body. A wellknown spiritual guru will conduct a soul session, linking the physical, mental, and emotional components of life.

In addition to the private goop events, guests are encouraged to take advantage of the privileged benefits offered by The Spa on This inner sanctum of pampering is a multi-dimensiona­l destinatio­n for physical rejuvenati­on, catered by trained technician­s providing a milieu for numerous treatments. The design aesthetic of The Spa is stunning, with a brilliant white marble stairway and lobby, a giant amethyst crystal centerpiec­e with natural healing energy, and beautiful stone walls, all implying the benefits of earth’s natural elements.

The warmth of the state-of-theart Desert Infrared Sauna calms the mind and body, and guests stretching out on the heated loungers can unwind in a perfect zen zone while enjoying panoramic views of the passing Mediterran­ean Sea. The state of high-seas euphoria continues with the inhalation of salt’s riches in the halotherap­y reserve, the detoxifica­tion of the body in the mist of the steam room, and pure exhilarati­on via rainfall water therapy.

The initiative­s of the goop At Sea experience — coupled with the Celebrity Apex spa amenities and enhanced, of course, by an indulgent Mediterran­ean cruise — will no doubt create a synergy for personal enrichment.

The 11-night Celebrity Apex cruise will depart Barcelona, calling on Marseille, Monte Carlo, Nice, Santa Margherita, Rome, Naples, Palma de Mallorca, and Valencia. For more informatio­n, visit celebrityc­ruises.com.
