(Press Release) MIAMI – Blue World Voyages, the industry’s only cruise line focused on sports and wellness, has agreed with a major 5-star cruise company to acquire its first vessel in 2026. Before entering the water, the all-suite ship is scheduled to undergo an extensive refit to integrate the Blue World concept throughout. The redesign, led by Tomas Tillberg, calls for 30 one- and two-bedroom luxury Residences on the upper levels available for private ownership. According to Blue World co-founder and acting CEO Fredy Dellis, several of the Residences have been reserved by interested buyers. “Visiting exciting destinations without leaving home is the ultimate lifestyle for sophisticated travelers,” says Dellis who spearheads this project. There will also be 160 passenger suites onboard. At approximately 352 square feet each, these will be nearly double the size of standard cabins on other lines. They will feature in-room wellness amenities, large balconies, lounge areas, and walk-in closets. With the generous public and private spaces in the design, all guests can enjoy a low-density travel experience. Residence owners will have access to the full amenities of the ship, including the largest athletic and fitness conditioning deck at sea, and the industry’s largest most comprehensive wellness facilities for rejuvenation, recovery, and spa. There are 40K square feet of best-in-class Spa amenities, offering an ocean view solarium, cryotherapy & hydrotherapy, Igloo Ice Chamber, Himalyaman Salt Room, Touchless Therapy and much more. Wellness features are embedded into each guest suite (and this is an all-suite ship). Among these are Circadian Lighting, vitamin-infused rainfall showers, and all natural materials throughout. In addition to state-of-the-art sports and wellness amenities onboard, the reconfiguration includes a seawater lap pool and marina deck with easy access water sports. There are breakthrough technologies planned for sustainability. The $80M Adaptive Refit™ is slated to incorporate LEED principles including advanced energy-efficient systems, waste reduction technology and eco-friendly materials. Founder and chairman Gene Meehan emphasized the disruptive boldness of Blue World’s approach to the ocean-going experience. “Nothing like this exists. We intersect wellness, personal enrichment, and adventure travel to place something new in the water, Active Lifestyle Cruising with like-minded passengers and residence owners onboard.” Meehan adds that Blue World’s targeting of active, health-minded adults positions the company at the forefront of cruise travel segment for the rapidly growing $1.1 trillion Wellness Tourism market. “Our team is ready to set the benchmarks for sports, fitness, and wellness programming at sea.” Comments are closed.
