WORLD ODYSSEY BRINGS VALUED SPA CONSULTANT ON-DECK TO ENHANCE THE SEMESTER AT SEA
Orlando, FL (September 13, 2015) The World Odyssey is an impressive 590 foot ship that travels the globe while anchoring the coolest campus on earth, The Semester at Sea Program. Lucky for all who board the vessel- that they have just christened a new strategic partnership. This profitable new relationship will positively impact their next voyage for all. Vital Life World’s Dawn Piljek, world-renowned spa, wellness and hospitality industry expert, will join their team as a consultant to help the onboard spa improve, to operate at optimal levels. Leveraging Piljek’s experience as an exceptional business coach, the project will begin with the re-launch, business evaluation and training, prior to the inaugural launch.
The eight deck ship is a place where students live and learn with top-academics, Nobel Prize Winners, TED Speakers and world-leaders alike, while earning college credits toward their four-year degree. When the ship is not docked at one its world-wide destinations, out at sea the student body appreciates the onboard amenities on their spa at sea, which includes a comprehensive fitness center. In this environment indulgences are longed for and needed, the spa at sea is a welcome place for fitness and relaxation for students seeking an active and balanced life. This spa will have all the cutting edge treatments and stellar customer service associated with Piljek, but managing a spa at sea is more challenging than any land-based-spa.
Piljek, is pleased to join the vessel that carriers countless students around the world. Since 2004, Piljek has been teaching Semester at Sea ships how to increase ROI (Return on Investment) and enhance services. You can say she ‘schooled’ the MV Explorer, the predecessor to World Odyssey, when she created, launched, and operated the very successful Wellness Center at Sea Spa, and is proud of its operational success, now in its eleventh year. “Operating a business that travels the world has its complications,” says Piljek. “From finding the right staff, training them prior to departure, on-going coaching, developing leadership and improving customer service experiences while increasing ROI, are critical. Just knowing how to keep the, at-sea-spa stocked in-between ports of call, is a unique challenge,” she says with a smile, “Which is why I use a very clear- crystal ball.”
Piljek is known for improving niche markets in hospitality and wants to ensure that the onboard spa will help students adapt successfully to this environment. Piljek was just onboard The World Odyssey in Germany this month to prepare, organize and ready the vessel for launch for its inaugural voyage. The World Odyssey will set sail from South Hampton, England later this month with this very lucrative and important amenity onboard. “It may seem unnecessary to have a spa onboard when studying is the focus on the World Odyssey however, having some pampering goes a long way for this student body in-need of a balanced and productive time aboard this vessel and beyond.”
