Mini cruises - minimum hassle and maximum fun! |
London, 25 March 2008… Love the idea of a weekend city break, but not the hassle and expense of finding flights, transfers, hotels and a decent restaurant when you get there?
Well, NCL Freestyle Cruising has just launched four, two night mini-breaks which are just the solution for a weekend packed with food, entertainment, onboard fun and the opportunity to take in some real European hot spots. With fares priced from as little as £245pp*, NCL’s new mini-cruises are ideal for those who have considered a cruise, but want to test the water first.
NCL has two of its biggest and newest floating resorts sailing straight out of the UK this summer, so along with a great weekend away you will also get meals included** - and with a choice of over 10 restaurants offering Teppenyaki to authentic French and Italian, you will be spoilt for choice.
Add to this entertainment in the form of West End-style shows, an on board casino, a luxurious spa as well as lots of fun activities for kids - including Nintendo Wii, Xbox and clubs catering for 2 to 17 year olds, there’s plenty to keep you and the family entertained while you travel to your destination.
NCL Freestyle Cruising will be sailing the following mini-cruise itineraries in 2008 – all prices start at £249* per person:
To escape on a romantic break, French Leave on board Norwegian Jade will sail from Southampton on 27 June and travel to Le Havre, (Paris) – Southampton.
Mums will love to be treated to a day shopping in the chocoholic heaven that is Bruges, so A Taste of Belgium on board Norwegian Jade is ideal. This departs on 11 July and travels from Southampton – Zeebrugge (Belgium) – Southampton.
For groups of friends looking to spend a day in Europe’s party capital the Amsterdam Weekender on board Norwegian Jewel will sail from Dover on 9 August. The cruise travels from Dover – Amsterdam – Dover.
