There’s wellbeing — and then there’s holistic wellbeing with style.

Across Australia, more people are redefining what it means to live well, embracing a lifestyle that blends health, longevity discovery and meaningful connection. In 2024, the Australian wellness economy was valued at approximately $255b, and is projected to nearly double to $485b by 2033.

This is the new “good life”: aspirational, experience-rich and deeply intentional.

Gone is the idea that wellbeing means slowing down. Instead, it’s about tuning in — to the body, to nature and to the kind of experiences that bring true vitality and purpose.

Among the most sought-after escapes? Luxury cruises — not just for the scenery but for soul-deep rejuvenation. For today’s wellness seekers, luxury isn’t about indulgence for its own sake — it’s about time, energy and the freedom to savour both.

Discover wellness on board

The ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht is fitted with a range of sophisticated spaces and technologies to inspire, while accessible amenities and expert staff always on hand ensure every guest — can travel in confidence and comfort.
