Setting sail on a short break cruise is the ideal alternative to a city break on land; but with one big difference, you'll wake up most mornings in a new destination to explore and only have to unpack once!

Perhaps you're planning to: celebrate a special occasion with friends, escape on a solo adventure, fit in a romantic getaway for two, join Mickey Mouse for fun with the kids, or even dip your toe in the world of cruising for the first time - then a short break cruise is the perfect adventure!

Days at sea lead to chilling out on deck, pampering spa treatments, joining in activities, leisurely lunches, and cocktails in the bars. Days ashore open up an exciting choice of excursions and solo explorations in search of culture, adventure, or shopping. Evenings onboard are all about culinary delights, live music and entertainment, quiet drinks on deck, and dancing until late.

Hays Cruise offer a wide selection of short break cruises throughout the year. From river cruises along the Danube or the Seine and scenic sailings around the Norwegian Fjords to cross channel trips to enjoy city life in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands; winter sun cruises to the Canaries, themed music and comedy cruises, and many more.
