Three amazing cruises that allow you to choose your own adventure

Most people think about wellness after the excesses of Christmas and new year, but Crystal Cruises is getting ahead of the curve with two wellness voyages in December this year, so you can tick off your wellbeing goals beforehand and get into the festive swing of things guilt-free. Join the 15-day voyage from Barcelona to Tema in Ghana, departing on December 1, or nab a spot on the 10-day Tema-to-Cape Town journey, setting off on December 14.

If you're more into masterpieces than massages, book a cruise onboard Explora Journeys' Explora I, which has just put on display a collection of artworks across the ship. Exhibited pieces range from rare prints by Andy Warhol to striking sculptures by Egypt-born Yves Dana. Meanwhile, foodies should take a look at Celestyal, which has just upgraded its food-and-beverage offerings with Aussie lamb chops, dedicated barista cafe and matcha-infused cocktails on both its ships, Discovery and Journey. crystalcruises.com; explorajourneys.com; celestyal.com
