Oriental Steam Bath on Carnival Splendor

The high humidity provides an extremely relaxing climate. The respiratory tract is cleansed, circulation stimulated, muscle tension relaxed, the skin becomes pliant and supple. The ideal duration of stay in the steam bath is 10 to 15 minutes. The area is heated by the influx of steam. In ancient Roman times, the steam bath (“caldarium”) was the heart of the installation. In our modern bathing landscapes, more and more people are becoming increasingly appreciative of the interaction of high humidity and radiant heat between temperatures of 40-50°C or 104-112°F.The gentle care and regeneration of skin and hair, as well as relief of the respiratory organs, are among the greatest benefits of the caldarium. Using a caldarium also has a purifying effect on the whole body.
