Crystal has announced the return of its Wellness at Sea retreats, revealing two 2026 voyages aboard Crystal Symphony that place balance, vitality and deep restoration at the heart of the experience.
Timed for National Wellness Month, the sailings offer a curated programme of movement, mindfulness and nutrition, wrapped in the refined comforts of one of the world’s leading ships.
The first voyage runs from August 17-24, travelling from Vancouver to San Diego. The second follows immediately from August 24 to September 5, sailing from San Diego to Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Guests may book either journey individually or combine them for a continuous Pacific wellness experience.
Leading the programme once again is Dalila Roglieri, Crystal’s wellness ambassador and registered nutritionist, whose Mediterranean-inspired approach has underpinned the retreat since it launched.
“These voyages represent wellness at its most complete, where every sunrise, every movement, and every meal becomes part of a greater harmony. It’s an invitation to reconnect with yourself and the world, surrounded by the exceptional elements that define Crystal,” said Dalila.
She will be joined by returning specialists Jenni Demus, yoga and mental well-being specialist; Mandi Appelberg, fitness and yoga specialist; and Magnus Appelberg, cold exposure expert, somatic therapist and yoga and meditation teacher.
The team is further strengthened with the addition of Chef Abbie Gellman, MS, RD, CDN, a nationally recognised culinary nutrition authority and director of Teaching Kitchen and Culinary Medicine at SBH Health System in New York.
Across both voyages, guests can expect a series of immersive Wellness at Sea sessions ranging from yoga and meditation to functional training, sound baths, breathwork and mind-reset classes including Wake Me Up Breath and Master Your Mind. A two-day detox at sea encourages digital mindfulness and invites guests into a deeper state of rest.
Longevity science is again central to the educational programme, with lectures focused on ageing well, cognitive sharpness, emotional health and maintaining long-term physical vitality.
Culinary wellness is a major pillar of the retreat, with Crystal expanding its plant-rich menus created under Roglieri’s guidance.
Dishes balance flavour and nourishment, featuring daily options including wellness-driven juices, smoothies, toasts, soups, appetisers, dips, mains and desserts. Hands-on culinary workshops and demonstrations led by Gellman and Roglieri blend nutritional insight with gastronomic flair, while individual nutrition consultations and blind tasting sessions offer a personalised and sensory-rich experience.
This commitment to wellness cuisine recently earned Crystal a place in the Women’s Health 2025 Travel Awards for Best Healthy Food.
To complement the restorative programme, onboard pickleball instruction is also available, offering guests a social, active way to stay moving at sea.

It marks a significant expansion of the club’s automotive offering and reinforces its position as a private members’ platform built around access, connection and exceptional experiences.
