…Want a wellness break
Refresh your mind, revive your soul and get more active on the latest cruise experiences. If you’re a dedicated spa lover, try Viking ocean (0800 458 6900, vikingcruises.co.uk). While most cruise lines charge for a spa pass, its scandinavian-style facilities are free, and you can wallow in its rejuvenating thalassotherapy pool as much as you like.
When it comes to luxury, the Celebrity Edge ship by Celebrity Cruises (0845 163 9463, celebritycruises.co.uk) should be top of your wish list. It features a rooftop garden and split-level apartments with private plunge pools, for a new standard of utter luxury at sea.
If you don’t want to be tied to any particular package, choose a bespoke break with MsC Cruises (0203 426 3010, msccruises.co.uk). Its Wellness Experience is dedicated to health and fitness, while the “aurea” Experience offers a dedicated spa package and flexible dining, so you don’t have to plan your day around set mealtimes. “We’re making the first completely personalised, 360° wellness experience at sea available to our guests,” says Gianni onorato, MsC Cruises Chief Executive officer.
