BEFORE YOU SAIL
A Cruise Spray Tan Built to Last the Trip
Board glowing. Stay glowing.
Organic, UV-free, sweat-resistant color that survives sun, pool, and salt water — perfect before you sail from Tampa. From $63.
THE SHORT ANSWER
When should I get a spray tan before a cruise?
For a cruise, book your spray tan one to two days before you sail so the color sets and any guide bronzer washes off first. Choose a sweat- and water-resistant organic formula so it holds up to sun, pool, and salt water across the trip.
The Bronze Lily is a short drive from Port Tampa Bay, with spray tans from $45 in-studio or $100 mobile to your hotel (free within 10 miles). Open 7 AM–11 PM seven days a week, rated 4.9 from 306 reviews.
TIMING IT RIGHT
Get the color to last
Cruise timing is everything. Come in one to two days before you sail: that lets the tan fully develop, gives you a first rinse to clear the cosmetic bronzer, and leaves you with clean, even color for embarkation photos. Any earlier and you lose days of depth; any later and you risk transfer.
Prep matters too — exfoliate and skip lotions and oils the day of, so your canvas is clean. We'll send you off with after-care instructions to stretch the tan across the whole itinerary.
WHY OURS TRAVELS WELL
Sun, pool, and salt water
A cruise is brutal on a cheap tan — chlorine, ocean, sunscreen, and sweat all conspire against it. Our organic, UV-free solution is sweat- and water-resistant and conditions the skin, so it fades evenly instead of blotching after your first pool day.
Short on time before you leave? Our mobile service ($100 per person, free within 10 miles) can come to your Tampa-area hotel the night before, so a fresh tan is one less thing to squeeze into embarkation morning.
WHEN YOU'RE READY
Glow before you go
Book one to two days before you sail — in-studio or mobile to your hotel near the port.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Cruise spray tan — 
How far ahead of my cruise should I get a spray tan?
One to two days before you sail is ideal. That lets the color set, gives you a first rinse to clear the guide bronzer, and leaves clean, even color for the trip.
Will the tan survive the pool and salt water?
Our organic, UV-free solution is sweat- and water-resistant and fades evenly. With proper after-care it holds up well across a cruise, though frequent swimming will naturally soften it over time.
How close are you to Port Tampa Bay?
We're a short drive away in St. Petersburg. We can also come to your Tampa-area hotel with mobile service ($100 per person, free within 10 miles).
How much is a cruise spray tan?
