World-renowned spiritual teacher and author Deepak Chopra has formed a multi-year partnership with expedition cruise line Swan Hellenic, creating a series of 'Explore & Restore' wellbeing cruises designed to foster self-discovery and cultural immersion.
Voyages pair inward personal journeys with outward exploration, resulting in a 'deeply enriching and healing experience' with a Chopra-certified meditation and yoga teacher offering private and group sessions every day.
You can choose from six 'Explore & Restore' wellness cruises in 2024, between five and nine days, with onboard Ayurvedic culinary offerings, daily meditation, yoga and breathwork classes, and inspirational workshops designed to help you rediscover your authentic self and unveil your true purpose.
Deepak Chopra says: "Healing programs, like 'Explore & Restore', offer a unique opportunity for individuals to nourish their wellbeing while forging a meaningful connection with the universe.
In my mission to help one billion people access healing, these spirit-awakening experiences are pivotal in propelling us towards a more just, sustainable, peaceful, healthy, and joyful world."
Andrea Zito, CEO of Swan Hellenic, says: "This launch, in collaboration with Chopra, signifies a momentous milestone. During this transformative journey, wellness and exploration seamlessly merge, igniting a unique path that invites travelers to embark on a voyage where self-care and discovery coexist."
Simon Belsham, CEO and Co-Founder of The Healing Company says: "The Chopra' Explore & Restore' program is a voyage of self-discovery and healing that inspires a profound connection with the world and oneself and resonates long after the journey has ended. We are delighted to partner with Swan Hellenic to reimagine what a wellness retreat by sea looks like."
