What is a Mini Cruise from the UK?
A mini cruise is as simple as its sounds, a shorter cruise anywhere from 2-4 nights. A lot of the cruise lines offer them as a way to entice new customers to try a new ship. But they can also be genuine breaks away with friends or families.
We get many enquiries from groups of lads or girls who want a weekend away together without the hassle or stress of flying and getting everyone together.
They are also perfect for those looking for a cheaper short break away. If you cant commit to a longer sailing, a short 2-4 night break could be the much-needed relax and recharge break you are looking for.
Who are Mini Cruises not for?
One thing to keep in mind however is that these mini cruises don’t attract the usual cruise line customer for the reasons listed above.
So you may find the crowd is a bit younger than usual on some of the more traditional lines, or on family lines, you may find fewer children as these sailings tend to be in off-peak season, so kids clubs and activities may be scaled back compared to the usual level of operations.
If you want the true, authentic experience of each line, these shorter sailings will not be the best way to experience that, these are more snapshots of what these fantastic ships can offer.
