The ultimate hassle-free short break

Take to the seas in the stunning MSC Virtuosa

Whether you are looking for a cultural exploration, a romantic getaway or a thrilling escapade, an MSC Cruises mini cruise will more than meet all your needs.

Mini cruises offer the ultimate in hassle-free short breaks. No airports, no flight delays, just an anticipation-filled journey to meet your ship and begin your voyage.

They are everything a proper cruise should be - slightly indulgent with more than a dash of glamour and choc-full of things to do around the clock.

It's a short break that feels like a much longer holiday, proving that good things really do come in small packages.

Attractive option

So, what other advantages do mini cruises offer?

Well, for starters, they address the squeeze that modern life places on our increasingly precious time.

Busy schedules, flexible hours and varied work patterns often rule out traditional two- or three-week holidays, making mini cruises an increasingly attractive option.

Also, for those lucky enough to be maximising multiple holiday experiences, a mini cruise can help squash that cheeky mini break between longer holidays.

Or perhaps you’re simply ‘cruise curious’ and looking for a perfect ‘taster’ experience.

A mini cruise allows you to immerse yourself completely in the lifestyle, both aboard and ashore, and helps you decide whether to opt for a longer cruise holiday.
