Why a mini cruise?
A mini-cruise is ideal if you are not yet sure whether a longer cruise is right for you or if you have a new cruise line in mind and want to experience some of the things it has to offer. Starting at the harbour you then sail (usually at night) towards the destination. During the day you stop at interesting ports in between and have enough time there for sightseeing, shopping or culinary delights.
Although these trips are much shorter, usually about 3 or 4 days, than on a normal trip, you still have all the amenities such as restaurants, bars, entertainment programs, sports activities and much more available. So you get to know the cruise line on a short cruise and know immediately if it suits you. With minimal effort you can appreciate what cruising has to offer.
Mini cruise worldwide
Taster cruises are offered worldwide, so you are not bound to a particular departure ports. How about a Caribbean cruise , if you have planned a longer vacation there anyway? So you can ideally combine your holiday with a little taster trip. Even Mediterranean cruises and Asia cruises are available. Be inspired to experience the delights of cruising!

Short & sweet: 8 best mini cruises in 2023 & 2024
Mini cruise holidays are becoming much more popular with younger travellers looking to squeeze their getaways into a long weekend – here are eight of the best in 2023 and 2024.
Words by Jeannine Williamson
Short on time, money or simply want a getaway break to unwind? A mini cruise ticks all these boxes. It’s also a great way of dipping a proverbial toe in the water if you’re new to a life at sea, or trying out a cruise line for the first time.
The quickest way to get afloat is on a short cruise from Southampton, or you can head overseas to get your mini cruise fix. Here are some of the options.
Speedy Greek getaway Celestyal Cruises mini cruise
Fancy seeing the most sun-drenched and Instagrammable Greek islands but don’t have oodles of time? You can do it with Celestyal Cruises.
The budget-friendly Greek line has three- and four-night mini cruises that are big on sights. In fact, you’ll likely see more than many people do in a week staying on land.
The round-trip sailings from Athens visit places like uber-trendy Mykonos – keep your eyes peeled and you may well spot some celebs – and the sun-bleached showstopper Santorini.
If you’re feeling a bit more cultural you can explore ancient sites on your mini cruise as well. Back onboard, Celestyal ships provide an extension of the friendly, laid-back Greek lifestyle. They’re not at all stuffy and you can strut your stuff at Greek dance classes, emboldened by the drinks that are included in the fare.
Channel Island hop MSC Cruises mini cruise
Take a two-night mini cruise to Guernsey out of Southampton on MSC Cruises’ big, bold and blingy MSC Virtuosa.
You’ll spend a day in the compact capital St Peter Port where the waterfront is lined with bars and places to eat. Don’t leave without ordering some ice cream made with creamy milk from the island’s doe-eyed golden cows.
On the ship you can sashay up glittering staircases studded with thousands of Swarovski crystals, shop ‘til you drop in designer boutiques and order a drink from Rob , who presides over the Starship Club and is the first humanoid robotic bartender at sea. There are dates to choose from in 2024.
Paint the town red Virgin Voyages mini cruise
Enjoy full-on adult-only fun (wink, wink) on a four-night round-trip sailing from Miami with Virgin Voyages . Virgin revolutionised cruising with ships that reinvented dining , with a street food-style food court, funky cabins with hammocks on the balcony and amazing Rock Star suites equipped with guitars and tables designed to dance on.
Scarlet Lady is a child-free ship where late-night revellers can throw moves in the outsize nightclub, The Manor, and watch festival-like pop-up acts around the vessel.
There’s a stop in cosmopolitan Key West on these mini cruises and a day at Virgin’s private Beach Club in Bimini where you can dive, snorkel or simply chill out in a cabana with another cocktail.
Stylish sundowners Marella Cruises mini cruise
If you can make your holiday stretch to five nights take a look at Marella Cruises ’ Mediterranean Sunsets sailings on Marella Explorer.
The ship has a bumper batch of 10 bars, including the Indigo Bar which is the longest in the Marella fleet , so you can pick your perfect spot for a sundowner. The sailing from Corfu to Malaga includes calls at Alicante and in between there are two days at sea to kick back and enjoy all the onboard attractions.
The lively entertainment scene stretches into the early hours with silent discos and eighties and nineties-themed nights. Other haunts include The Lounge with its colour-changing bar and hot pink piano.
It’s such a perfect day Royal Caribbean mini cruise
Escape the British winter and January blues to soak up some Caribbean sunshine on one of Royal Caribbean’s four-night Bahamas and Perfect Day mini cruises out of Miami.
After a stop in Nassau, where the Straw Market near the docking spot is a great place to pick up inexpensive hats, bags and jewellery, there’s the Perfect Day at CocoCay . Royal Caribbean’s 120-acre private island is jam-packed with things to do including a waterpark where thrill seekers can tackle Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest slide in North America.
The fun continues back on Freedom of the Seas with its FlowRider surf simulator and glow-in-the-dark laser tag area Clash for the Crystal City. There’s a sailing on January 8, 2024, with similar itineraries available year-round.
Chocs away Celebrity Cruises mini cruise
Get your fill of Belgian waffles, chocolate and a glass or two of one of the country’s 1,500 different beers on a four-day mini cruise from Southampton with Celebrity Cruises .
You can also sign up for a chocolate-making demo followed by an all-important tasting. Leaving on August 23, 2024, the Bruges and Netherlands long weekend also includes a trip to Rotterdam.
If you’ve got a head for heights, and want the best views of the city, head up the 180m Euromast which is the highest observation platform in Holland.
You’ll be aboard the stylish Celebrity Apex where you can sip artisan cocktails such as Forbidden in the whimsical Eden bar, sit in flower-shaped chairs and try to resist touching pink ostrich feather ‘trees’.
Sound waves Norwegian Cruise Line mini cruise
Forget having to hunt for your tent and the possibility of downpours and mud by going to a music festival at sea. Norwegian Cruise Line hosts some of the best and as they’re held in the Caribbean sunshine is guaranteed.
If you’re an R&B fan and want to do something different next Valentine’s Day Maxwell’s four-day Urban Hang Suite Cruise leaves Miami on February 10, 2024. Grammy-award-winning artist Maxwell will perform two concerts and will be more live music from the likes of Ledisi, Robert Glasper, Sabrina Claudio, and Musiq Soulchild, plus DJs, comedy and parties.
Norwegian Pearl stops at Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, the line’s private island Bahamian playground. Back onboard you don’t need to worry about going thirsty as O’Sheehan’s Irish pub is open 24/7.
Push the boat out Cunard mini cruise
Live a posh Titanic-style lifestyle (minus any icebergs and sinking of course) with Cunard . You can get a taste of the luxe line on a budget with one of the mini cruises from Southampton.
Bag a cabin for less than £300 on a two-night jaunt on the flagship Queen Mary 2 departing on October 20, 2023, and immerse yourself in the retro glamour of afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters.
There’s a stop in Hamburg , one of Germany’s most multicultural cities, where you can join the local beer culture and sip the city’s own pilsner. Need something stronger? Order lutt um lutt , which is beer fortified with fiery schnapps.

12 of the best mini cruises
Looking to set sail for a few days mini-cruises are a great way to make the most out of a short period of time. here are some of the best to book.
W hether you are new to cruising and looking to test the waters, a seasoned cruiser seeking a quick cruise fix, short on time after using up all of your annual leave, or simply searching for a few days of indulgence — a mini-cruise could be the way to go. As the name suggests, a mini-cruise is a bite-sized voyage — think of it as the water equivalent of a city break — that is typically two to four days in length, but less than a week. They can be ocean or river cruises anywhere in the world. They’ll often include a couple of ports of call, with the added bonus of only having to unpack once. Get ready to set sail.

1. MSC Cruises
This family-owned Swiss cruise line, whose fleet of ships counts actress Sophia Loren as godmother, has an extensive array of short cruises to choose from. These range from condensed cruises in the Mediterranean exploring Marseille — a French port city with history and grit — to short breaks in the Caribbean (for those who aren’t averse to folding themselves into a plane for nine hours). Here, itineraries include a full day at Ocean Cay, MSC’s eco-friendly private island in the Bahamas . Back on board, snap a selfie on the cruise line’s signature Swarovski-studded staircases before enjoying all of MSC’s amenities and innovative spaces.

2. Royal Caribbean
Calling all Caribbean aficionados! Royal Caribbean explores Nassau, the Bahamas’ only city, and Coco Cay island — the cruise line’s upgraded private island which has everything from water sports to beach barbecues and an aqua park — over a long weekend. The mini-cruise departs Port Canaveral, just 45 minutes east of Orlando airport, aboard Independence of the Seas. Standout features of the Indy include the family-friendly Sky Pad — a virtual reality bungee-trampoline experience — and teppanyaki restaurant Izumi.
Best for 6 months+ Price ££ Family-friendly Y
Formula One fanatics can experience the Monaco Grand Prix as well asexploring the Mediterranean on a mini cruise with Azamara. The upscale brand operates a fleet of four well-appointed, mid-sized ships — with friendly staff who go above and beyond to remember passengers’ preferences. The line’s Grand Prix weekend voyage gives guests the opportunity to enjoy the glitz and glamour of Monaco along with the charms of Saint-Tropez. A late-night stay here, part of Azamara’s commitment to cultural immersion, offers the chance to try tarte tropézienneand shop for souvenirs in the atmospheric old town. Evenings on board have a relaxed informality — save for the line’s signature, poolside “White Night” party.

4. Riviera Travel
Festive spirit can be found on the water courtesy of Riviera Travel. The river cruise line offers an annual Christmas markets cruise aboard the luxurious MS Oscar Wilde — allowing passengers to spend the festive period in style as they sail through the spectacular Rhine Gorge. Ports of call include Rüdesheim, where Christmas stalls selling everything from gingerbread and mulled wine to tree decorations fill the town’s small squares and streets, and Cologne, renowned for its gothic cathedral and glut of twinkling markets. On board, solo travellers are no afterthought: a number of cabins are set aside for single passengers with no additional supplement.

5. Virgin Voyages
Sir Richard Branson’s trendy, adults-only cruise line — expect tattoo parlours, drag acts and an app that delivers champagne anywhere on the ship — has launched a series of short sailings, many of them weekend cruises, aboard Scarlet Lady. This fun, feisty ship departs its Miami homeport for Key West, Florida’s quirkiest key, before stopping at Virgin Voyages’ private beach club in Bimini and then enjoying a day at sea, giving you time to sample some of the cruise ship’s 20 restaurants. There’s no formal night — part of the brand’s bid to offer a different experience for cruisers — but there is a “Scarlet Night”, on which passengers (who are known as “sailors”) are encouraged to wear red.
Best for 18+ Price ££ Family-friendly N
6. Emerald Cruises
Small ship expert Emerald provides short sailings along both the Danube and the Rhine, two of Europe’s most scenic rivers, every December on their Star-Ships: expect heated swimming pools that turn into a cinema at night and floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere. A five-night festive jaunt along the Danube could take you Bratislava for baroque palaces, and Budapest for a magical Christmas market in front of St Stephen’s Basilica — onto the dome of which a laser show is projected as night falls. Rhine sailings include a foray to the fairytale streets of Strasbourg, with its cobbled streets and timber-framed houses.
Best small ship cruises
7. P&O Cruises
Aimed squarely at British travellers, P&O Cruises has an array of mini-cruises sure to suit both boisterous families and those who don’t fancy spending even the smallest amount of time surrounded by shrieking kids. Short breaks aboard Britannia cruise from Southampton to Amsterdam so that little ones can learn more about Anne Frank — before letting off steam with a breathless programme of onboard activities. Elsewhere P&O’s adult-only ships, Aurora and Arcadia, explore Guernsey and Bruges , where cobbled squares, gothic architecture and atmospheric canals compete for passengers’ attention.

8. Ambassador Cruise Line
This new British operator — the first British cruise brand to debut since 2010 — is launching a range of no-fly, adult-focused mini-cruises in 2023. You could visit Liverpool , famous for its musical heritage and football clubs, or the south-west city of Bristol , which hasn’t lost its ability to wow visitors. If you aren’t convinced that a weekend in the UK can be just as exciting as Europe, take in the tulips in Amsterdam. All of Ambassador’s taster cruises will take place aboard Ambition, sister to Ambience.

9. Tui River Cruises
Travel giant Tui entered the river cruise market in 2021 with three vessels, Tui Maya, Isla and Skyla making up the fleet. Tui Skyla, like its sister ships, has an easy-going, adults-only atmosphere together with two bars, two restaurants and a wellness area with a whirlpool and sauna. It can accommodate 155 passengers on taster cruises calling at three elegant capitals — Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna . Standout shore excursions include a 90-minute concert at the Kursalon, Vienna’s most beautiful concert hall.
10. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
If you fancy combining a taster cruise with a land-based stay on America’s east coast, NCL could be the line for you. Norwegian’s colourful ships, Pearl and Joy, have mini-cruises sailing respectively from Boston and New York to the remote island of Bermuda — a place of romantic pale pink sands and ridiculously pretty pastel houses. If Europe is more your bag, Norwegian Epic will whisk you to the likes of Rome and Cannes. There’s plenty to occupy and entertain passengers on board too: Norwegian is known for its entertainment. Expect a mix of Broadway shows as well as a breathtaking blend of Latin and ballroom dance in Burn the Floor.
Best round the world cruises
11. AmaWaterways
Don’t want to go to sea? Try a river cruise. And if you like ticking off European cities, then you’ll love luxury cruise line AmaWaterways’ five-night cruise calling at capital cities, including Budapest and Vienna, along the Danube. Each port of call comes with complimentary excursions such as guided hikes to Bratislava’s Renaissance-style fortress, and bike tours to Klosterneuburg Abbey — a 900-year-old monastery straight out of a fairytale. If that sounds a tad too active, sit back and enjoy a slice of Viennese speciality sachertorte, a rich chocolate cake, in a traditional cafe. There’s also the option to extend your AmaWaterways adventure by adding a pre- or post-programme.
12. Fred Olsen
This long-running, family-owned cruise line operates a fleet of four traditional vessels, each accommodating fewer than 1,400 guests. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, given the brand’s Norwegian roots, Fred Olsen specialises in bite-sized breaks to Norway ’s scenic fjords. Five-night itineraries out of either Edinburgh or Newcastle see Fred’s flagship, Balmoral, head for famous fjords such as Lysefjord, in addition to calling at the beautiful cobbled city of Bergen, where passengers can take the funicular to the peak of Mount Floyen. The excitement continues back on board: there’s nightly entertainment in the Neptune Lounge, four restaurants, two swimming pools and a well-appointed fitness centre (for anyone concerned about the extra calories they’re consuming).
