Are you ready to embark on a journey that promises not just relaxation, but a transformative experience for your mind, body, and soul? Imagine sailing through the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords while being guided by some of the most influential experts in wellness and beauty. This isn’t just any cruise—it’s Harper’s Bazaar’s Wellness at Sea voyage with Cunard, and it’s set to redefine how you think about self-care. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: this isn’t just about yoga classes or spa treatments. It’s a deep dive into holistic well-being, led by experts who are reshaping the industry. And this is the part most people miss—it’s Cunard’s first-ever Wellness at Sea event, making it a historic opportunity to be part of something groundbreaking.
As pioneers in the beauty and wellness space, Harper’s Bazaar knows what it takes to create an escape that’s both restorative and enriching. Whether it’s breathwork, somatic exercises, or yoga, we’ve curated an experience that goes beyond the surface. That’s why we’ve partnered with Cunard to bring you this exclusive 7-night voyage aboard the luxurious Queen Anne, departing from Southampton on July 5, 2026. But don’t just take our word for it—let’s introduce you to the experts who’ll be guiding you along the way.
Meet the Trailblazers Headlining the Voyage
Katarina Johnson-Thompson
British heptathlon legend Katarina Johnson-Thompson is leading the charge. With multiple gold medals, an Olympic silver, and the British record for heptathlon under her belt, she’s no stranger to triumph—or adversity. Onboard, she’ll share the raw, unfiltered highs and lows of her career, offering insights into maintaining mental and physical resilience as she prepares for the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Her story? It’s a masterclass in perseverance.
Adrienne Adhami
As the host of Power Hour and Modern Wellness, Adrienne Adhami is the voice behind some of the most thought-provoking conversations in wellness. She’s interviewed everyone from Mel Robbins to Beverley Knight, unpacking what drives high-achievers. But here’s the controversial part: Adhami believes that true wellness isn’t just about self-care—it’s about making decisions that matter. Her holistic approach, which blends health trends with business and technology, has earned her partnerships with giants like Google and Virgin Atlantic. Is wellness just a personal journey, or does it have a place in the boardroom? Let’s debate that.
Karen Cummings-Palmer
Forget fad diets and restrictive eating plans. Karen Cummings-Palmer, integrative health expert and founder of 79 Luxe skincare, is here to revolutionize how we think about nutrition. Her philosophy? Food should be a source of joy, not guilt. By combining science-backed insights with cultural and individual needs, she creates sustainable plans that nourish both body and soul. But here’s the question: Can we truly enjoy food without sacrificing health? Cummings-Palmer says yes—and she’s got the proof.
Mariel Witmond
Certified yoga instructor, somatic movement expert, and holistic nutritionist Mariel Witmond is all about connecting the dots between body and mind. Using a blend of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, she creates safe spaces for clients to heal and thrive. Her coaching sessions focus on emotional resilience and nervous system rebalancing—something we could all use in today’s fast-paced world. But is it possible to truly rewire your brain through movement and mindfulness? Witmond’s clients say it’s life-changing.
Lydia Slater
As Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar, Lydia Slater has transformed the magazine into a global powerhouse. From the Bazaar Summit to the exclusive Bazaar Privé membership, she’s elevated the brand to new heights. Her leadership has turned the annual Women of the Year Awards into a cultural phenomenon, attracting stars from every corner of the world. But what’s her secret? Slater believes in the power of community—and she’s bringing that same energy to the Wellness at Sea voyage.
Katy Young & Medina Azaldin
Beauty enthusiasts, rejoice! Katy Young, Group Luxury Beauty Director, and Medina Azaldin, Beauty Editor, are your go-to experts for all things skincare, makeup, and fragrance. From ethical beauty brands to the latest trends, they’ll be sharing their insider knowledge onboard. But here’s the controversial take: Is the beauty industry truly inclusive, or is it still playing catch-up? Young and Azaldin aren’t afraid to ask the tough questions.
This voyage isn’t just a vacation—it’s an investment in yourself. With prices starting at £1,429 per person (based on two sharing a Britannia Balcony stateroom), it’s an opportunity to learn from the best while exploring one of the world’s most serene destinations. But here’s the real question: Are you ready to prioritize your well-being in a way that’s both luxurious and life-changing?
