P&O Cruises launches three new wellness cruises as Brits say everyone, including their boss, takes priority over their personal health and wellbeing
P&O Cruises has today announced three new Wellbeing and Lifestyle cruises with TV presenter and women’s health advocate, Cherry Healey and stylist Kat Farmer. The three selected P&O Cruises holidays in 2024 to Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean will focus on mind, body, sleep, face and other lifestyle advice.
Guests can learn tips and tricks to support health and happiness with workshop topics ranging from mind and body to skincare and wardrobe essentials, breathwork, stillness and meditation. Cherry and Kat will be joined by special guests including make-up artist to the stars, Hannah Martin, and fitness educator and presenter, Sarah Gorman.
Research released today by P&O Cruises revealed that everyone, even our bosses, takes priority over looking after our ourselves. Despite being tired, lethargic, feeling stressed and not getting a decent night’s sleep, just one in five Brits (20%) are spending a brief 30 minutes a week on 'self-care'.
Cherry Healey said, “I’m so thrilled to be bringing everything l’ve learned over the past 15 years working in the wellness space to a series of workshops curated specifically for P&O Cruises guests. From how to get great quality sleep, to the best skin of your life, to knowing which of the latest supplements to take and why, we will be sending people home refreshed, rejuvenated and feeling their absolute best!”
Sarah Gorman said, “You have one body and it is your responsibility to treat it well. Look after the vessel that takes you through this life and it will look after you. My sessions will give you some of my favourite tips and advice to aid your holistic wellbeing.”
Cherry Healey, broadcaster, TV presenter and women’s health advocate is available for interview on Friday August 4, 2023 between 0800-1300. Other times on request. To book a broadcast interview please contact Shout! Communications: Carl@shoutcommunications.co.uk - 07886 558953
