What is a Mini Cruise?
Our popular mini cruise packages offer the perfect short break to Europe, with a couple of nights onboard one of our modern cruise ferries, and a flexible stay at your destination. There are many different packages to choose from, with options for visiting local attractions or extending your stay with a hotel. You could also go for a special onboard package, such as included gourmet meals or fun seasonal events.
During your mini cruise you can take advantage of all the comforts and facilities onboard, including a great selection of restaurants and eateries, bars and live entertainment, and a cinema and casino. There’s also games and play areas for the kids, as well as some great shopping. And of course you also have your private en suite cabin to retire to and relax at the end of the day.
