Mini Cruises

For most cruise regions there are periods of peak demand (high season), moderate demand (shoulder season) and low demand (low season).

Several years ago, high season tended to be when the weather was best in a particular area (and when all the northerners flocked to the sun), but as more and more families take to cruising, the summer months have become a peak-demand period regardless of the weather (at home or in the region).

One of the most popular ways for cruise virgins to get a taste of a holiday at sea is to take a mini-cruise. You get a couple of nights on board, which is ample time to see what is it like, and you won’t have wasted too much money if you find it’s not for you. Apparently, though, most mini-cruise first-timers are soon booking their full-length holiday at sea.

Just remember that the best time to go to each destination is usually the most expensive.

Action-packed Mini Cruises are a great way to experience what it is like to be on a longer cruise.

A Mini Cruise is now the smart Short Break Holiday choice for anyone who wants the most exciting, best value holiday, in the best places, with the best people! Whilst onboard a mini cruise you benefit from a host of leisure facilities such as a children's play area, cinema, casino, bars, a choice of three restaurants, swimming pool and a fitness centre to work up an appetite.

Whether it's just you travelling or several generations of your family, the smart money is on cruising. Gone is the stress of finding somewhere to eat several times a day, managing your budget accordingly, and spending your holiday on a trial and error learning curve of unknown local restaurants and bars. Life on board a Mini Cruise has all that covered.

Mini Cruises now offer plenty of activities and facilities for children, making cruise family holidays more popular than ever. Onboard children's clubs, non-stop activities and family friendly restaurants make a cruise an ideal choice for a family holiday. Family Mini Cruise Holidays are also very good value as all your meals and most of the children's activities can be included in the price of your cruise.

Mini Cruise holidays were a popular holiday choice long before package holidays and budget flights existed, but passengers of the past would be amazed at the astonishing variety of Mini Cruise holidays now available.
