MSC Cruises Aurea Spa Prices: Massages, Facials, Hair, Nails & More
MSC Cruises offers a surprisingly extensive range of spa, beauty, grooming, and fitness services onboard. The MSC Aurea Spa price lists shown here give a useful look at what passengers may encounter, including massages, facials, body treatments, thermal area access, hair services, manicures and pedicures, waxing, barber services, and personal training.
Because MSC operates cruises in different regions, onboard spa pricing may be presented in different currencies. The price lists below include examples in both US dollars and euros. They should be treated as a reference rather than a guarantee of what a particular sailing will charge, especially since the two versions do not contain identical treatment selections or prices.
If you’re trying to budget for an MSC cruise and wondering how much a massage, facial, thermal pass, manicure, haircut, or other spa treatment might cost, these menus provide a detailed look at MSC Aurea Spa prices.

Dollar vs. Euro MSC Spa Menus
One important thing these menus demonstrate is that passengers should not assume MSC’s dollar and euro spa menus are identical with the currency symbol changed.
There are differences in treatment names, available services, pricing, thermal area passes, and service charges between the examples shown here.
For example, the US-dollar menu shown above states an 18% service charge, while the euro menu states a 15% service charge. That makes the actual menu available on your sailing the most relevant source when determining what you will pay onboard.
These photos are therefore best used as a planning guide to understand the types of treatments available and their general price range rather than as a guaranteed price list for every MSC cruise.
Planning a Visit to the MSC Aurea Spa
If you’re considering using the spa during your MSC cruise, reviewing the menu beforehand can make it easier to decide how much room to leave in your cruise budget.
The menus show everything from relatively short grooming and beauty appointments to multi-hour spa journeys costing several hundred dollars. Passengers interested mainly in the thermal facilities can also see that day passes are offered on both examples, although full-cruise thermal pass pricing is not printed.
It is also worth remembering the service charge when budgeting. Based specifically on the menus shown here, the additional charge can make the final cost higher than the treatment price printed next to the service.
