The Spa & Salon Facilities onboard the Celebrity Century
Celebrity Century Spa
The Celebrity Century's "AquaSpa" offers a variety of day spa selections: massages, acupuncture, body wraps, slimming treatments, facial treatments, tooth whitening, steam rooms, and water therapies. There are also more exotic treatments like "Tahitian Ceremony of Flowers" and "Egyptian Ceremony of Milk and Ginger." The spa is managed by Steiner who is the leader in spa management for the majority of the cruise lines.
You should check onboard for the current list of services being offered on your cruise. Of particular interest are the Persian Garden private sauna area (with New Age music piped in for ultimate relaxation), the couples massage room, and a dry float bed (used in body wraps). The AquaSpa and the Salon are located on the Resort Deck (Deck11).
Celebrity Century Salon
The Salon onboard the Celebrity Century adds that flattering, finishing touch after your heavenly spa visit! For the ladies and gents, the spa offers hairstyling, cutting, coloring, eyebrow shaping, waxing, manicures, pedicures, and facial treatments.
Celebrity Century Spa & Salon Tips:
-
Make certain to book any Salon and Spa menu of services early -- they tend to fill up quickly. You can book many of the treatments during your online checking process.
-
Celebrity Cruises sells "spa certificates" via their web site. However, there is a problem... the spa certificates can only be redeemed once on the ship. When you go to reserve a spa treatment during your online checkin, you must pay for your spa treatment via a credit card when you reserve it. Unfortunately, if you have a spa certificate, you are not able to reserve until you get onboard the ship. This will leave you with a smaller selection of appointment times and services. So, until Celebrity allows you to reserve with a spa certificate during the online checkin process, our advice is to not buy a spa certificate. (information verified December 2011)

The "AquaSpa" has a treatment room that is designed for people with disabilities.
-
Some services are offered at a discount. Check Celebrity Today for details. However, keep in mind that the reduced price may mean less time is allotted for the service.
-
Take some time for you with a hot stone massage!
-
If you think a cruise would be a good time to try acupuncture, consider that a potential side effect with the treatment is possible bruising. This probably isn't something you would want to deal with depending on your formal evening attire.
