If you have limited time but still want to take a vacation where you’ll see sites and attractions located further than the neighborhood museum, consider taking a mini-cruise.
Mini-cruises are a great option to experience the world in as little as a long weekend. Here’s some background on these convenient cruise-type vacations.
Length of voyages
Mini-cruises can be as short as a couple of days or as long as four or five days. You pick the itinerary that works best for your time constraints.
Destinations
Mini-cruises sail to a variety of locations. If you’re located on the West Coast of the United States, you can enjoy a mini-cruise to Baja California and snorkel off the pristine shoreline in as little as one day. If you live in Florida, book a mini-cruise to the Florida Keys or to the Caribbean Islands. And if in England, consider a short cruise to the southern coast of Spain or to the Netherlands.
All the same hype as regular cruises
Regular cruise vacations offer the best of the best. It’s no different for mini-cruises. On these cruise vacations you’ll enjoy the finest cuisine, the best in entertainment venues and unending activities. You can even practice your golf swing or try your luck at the casino. If you prefer to relax, pamper yourself with a spa treatment or sunbathe by the pool.
Price competitive
Since mini-cruises are all inclusive (except for shore excursions, tipping and spa treatments), they can easily compete in price with an ordinary vacation. In fact, if you do the math, you’ll probably come out ahead since you save all that money on gas and three meals per day.
Gives you a taste of the real thing
If you’re a first time cruiser, mini-cruises are a great way to get a real taste of cruise line life. Just imagine if you’ve booked a two-week cruise vacation and after a few days, you realize that cruising is not for you (or if you become extremely seasick). With a short two or three day cruise, however, you’ll know if you want to book another cruise in the future.
Special celebrations
Mini-cruises are great for that special celebration. Invite friends and family for a two-day mini-cruise for that special event like a graduation ceremony or a Bar Mitzvah.
