Ocean View Monaco - On board wellness & spa center | MSC Yacht Club Massage Rooms | Balinese Spa | Thalassotherapy History

Ocean View Monaco made its first steps in the world of beauty back in the 70s with high end and luxurious offshore hair salons.

After having spent long periods of time in Bali, we acquired consolidated know-how and practise in the Bali culture of well-being to sail into the adventure of opening a wellness centre (spa) onboard of one ship. It was 1995: several offshore hair and beauty salons to manage and one wellness centre onboard of a ship to play with and to discover. Almost 20 years later, what started as an adventure and curiosity, became our passion and core business: Ocean View Monaco grew into a spa management company with wellness centres onboard of all MSC Cruises’ ships.

Throughout the years, we supported and shared our partner’s achievements of new ship christenings, as those were new Ocean View Monaco spa christenings as well:

• April 2003, MSC LIRICA
• May 2004, MSC ARMONIA
• 2004, MSC SINFONIA
• June 2004, MSC OPERA
• June 2006, MSC MUSICA
• May 2007, MSC ORCHESTRA
• April 2008, MSC POESIA

Starting from 2008, a new ship did not only mean a new Ocean View Monaco spa, but also an enrichment of Ocean View Monaco’s already exhaustive wellness and beauty menu with the introduction of brand new and innovative signature treatments:

• December 2008, MSC FANTASIA – Candle massage
• July 2009, MSC SPLENDIDA – Aurea del Mare
• March 2010, MSC MAGNIFICA – Aurea Thalassa, Aurea Papaveris, Aurea Hydra Plus, Aurea Relaxa, Hymalayan Dream, semi-permanent eyelash lengthening and thickening treatments

Lately, MSC Cruises revealed his plans to add 11 new vessels by 2026 as a near doubling of its fleet numbers. It’s also increasing capacity with larger ships, for which Ocean View Monaco manages the Spas :

• May 2017, MSC MERAVIGLIA - the cutting-edge ship includes a promenade with a long LED roof, a water park with water slides, a rope course, a theater and a spa of over 1100 m² offering the latest wellness experiences. For the first time, MSC Cruises will launch a new thermal experience on board
  MSC Meraviglia. Guests will be able to tailor their experience by identifying their wellness objective : RELAX, TONIC, PURIFY or EXCITE. They will enjoy a
  sequence of heat, cold, colours and aromas with a combination of equipment to maximise the thermal programmes. The body is exposed to high temperatures and contrasting cold areas with aromatic showers. Guests will wear a wristband with information about their chosen experience
  and the length and order of use for each area. The variety of the equipment will provide a perfect synthesis of leading-edge technology, inimitable design and carefully-selected materials.
   
• November 2017, MSC SEASIDE - Inspired by the beach condos that have made Miami famous, MSC Seaside has a number of distinctive and innovative design features unlike any other ship. MSC Cruises and Bocelli Wines have launched a signature collection of spa treatments on MSC Seaside, luxurious facial and body treatments using LAJATICA vinotherapy products from Bocelli Wines.
