Find Your Perfect Cruise

Will I have access to all of the facilities on a mini cruise?

However long your cruise duration may be, guests on board have access to all amenities and features as those on a longer cruise.

Many cruise lines offer Mini Cruises starting from as short a duration as one or two nights. These can be a perfect introduction to cruising, a short weekend getaway or a quick relaxing break from a busy lifestyle.

P&O Cruises are the most common operator providing cruises from Southampton, however, Ambassador Cruise Line also offer short durations from other regional UK Cruise Ports. Both of these cruise lines offer full board basis with guests being served breakfast, lunch and dinner in a choice of various restaurants offering cuisines from all over the world. More informal dining options are generally also available including a 24 hour buffet serving snacks and quick bites.

If guests on board are looking for a more intimate dining experience then speciality restaurants are available onboard P&O from celebrity chefs including Marco Pierre White, although on a shorter duration cruise these may need to be booked prior to sailing to ensure you secure a table.

Entertainment options are again all available on mini cruises. From day time activities such as pub quizzes and interactive demonstrations to evening Broadway style shows and a drink in one of the several bars or lounges.

With so much on offer why not call our Cruise Experts today to find the perfect mini cruise for you. Call us today on 0800 197 8050.

So Easy to book over the phone

Excellent service. Emma was really helpful and explained which cabins were left for this last minute booking. We even received a further discount via P&O as we are Peninsular club members. Emma made the booking easy and it didn't take long to sort. Thank you!
