We have a varied selection of shorter sailings and destinations available, and no matter which mini cruise you choose, you’ll enjoy a restful, relaxing, and rewarding experience from the moment you board your smaller, friendlier cruise ship.

Whether you choose to join a romantic escape to the diamonds, chocolates, and flowers of Amsterdam and Antwerp; cruise past iconic Scottish islands; discover the fjords of Norway; or simply indulge in a two-night cruise, you can be assured that you’ll enjoy the same friendly, attentive service, delectable dining, and fantastic entertainment that you would on a longer sailing.

In summer 2026, embark on cruises to Norway, España Verde (Green Spain), Normandy and Dorset on our shorter sailings, which offer the perfect blend of enriching destination experiences, memorable scenic cruising and our renowned warm and friendly on board atmosphere. With many of these timed to cruise over UK Bank Holidays, you can experience a new adventure without taking too much time out of your schedule.

A short break on one of our smaller, friendlier ships is sure to give you lasting memories and could become the inspiration for more adventures around the world. Find your perfect Fred. Olsen mini cruise below.
