The Holistic Benefits of
Salt Therapy
This age-old therapy is a perfect way to relax, unwind and boost your health on your Scenic Space-Ship — all at the same time.
Author Karen Blixen once said, “The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.” But we’ve got a fourth one to add: salt therapy.
Step inside a salt cave
Salt therapy is exactly what it sounds like: healing therapy using salt. It’s said to have been used since medieval times, but the benefits were only truly discovered in the 1800s when miners in Eastern Europe emerged from salt mines with glowing skin and clear lungs. A Polish doctor, Feliks Boczkowski, discovered these benefits and opened the first salt-based healing centre in a salt mine near Krakow, Poland. As the years went on, more doctors noticed these benefits and more healing centres were created across Europe and, eventually, the world. Nowadays, you certainly don’t need to find your nearest salt mine to experience the health benefits. Man-made salt caves are chic, spa-like rooms with comfortable chairs, walls made from salt-bricks and the floor scattered with crystals of the healing mineral. Simply sit back and relax while the salt does its work.
Healing for body and mind
Salt therapy has been said to help with everything from boosting your immune system to enhancing sleep. There are plenty more benefits, though.
Scenic’s Salt Therapy Lounges
Scenic is the first and only river cruise operator to offer Salt Therapy Lounges. These wellness rooms are lined with handcrafted salt bricks which are set to the perfect temperature and humidity to mimic natural salt caves. Step inside a salt therapy lounge on our Scenic Space-Ships cruising the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, plus the Bordeaux and South of France waterways. Salt therapy is just one of the all-inclusive wellness amenities on board our 5-star Space-Ships. From yoga classes on the Sun Deck to e-bikes, a state-of-the-art gym and activities with a wellbeing coach, there’s always a way to add wellness to your day. We would however, recommend you add a little salt therapy to each of your days on board.
