The port near to Liverpool city centre offers the chance to get away to Europe for a short break all for a relatively affordable price tag in the form of one of many mini cruises from Liverpool.
But first, what is a mini cruise and what does it typically consist of?
A mini cruise usually lasts from between 2 and 4 days but can last as long as 7 days depending on where you wish to travel.
Usual European mini cruise destinations include France, Spain and Germany with more long-haul destinations being impractical to travel to due to the journey time involved.
You can expect to spend about half of your cruise travelling to and from your final destination giving you just enough time to explore wherever it is you are travelling to.
A mini cruise also acts as a good introduction to a country whereby if you enjoy your mini cruise you always have the option of re-visiting the city or country for a longer period of time in the future.
The great thing about cruises from Liverpool is that all on board entertainment is included in your booking price which can include casinos, nightclubs, cinemas and even theatres dependent on which ship you are assigned to.
In addition to this, all of your food and drink is also included in the price of your mini cruise meaning you will save considerable amounts of money upon a standard self-catering city break which will usually last for the same duration as a short cruise.
Due to the affordability of Liverpool cruises[1] and the excellent value for money they represent it is advisable to book your mini cruise well in advance to ensure are able to travel when you wish.
They are usually heavily over-subscribed but booking 2 months in advance should secure your booking.
