If you are looking to experience a short cruise in style, here is a list of ideas for luxury breaks which are sure to appeal to those with a taste for exploring the world in real comfort. So why not read on, to see if any of these take your fancy.

A roundtrip to Nice in France is a great way to enjoy several of Europe's most beautiful sights. Many cruises make day stops in Corsica, as well as the Isle of Elba and Portovenere in Italy. Fine architecture, fascinating medieval towns and a stunning landscape all feature on this trip.
A trip starting from Egypt's Suez will also be one that you are sure never to forget. After enjoying the comfort of your cruise, you will be able to take in a number of the country's famous highlights, including the pyramids, and a unique opportunity to visit Cairo's Tahrir Square. This cruise could also take you to stops in the beautiful Greek island Santorini, and the ancient town of Itea.
There are also many opportunities to take short breaks in which you can see several different European cities in one trip. You could, for example, embark on a cruise that in less than a week will take you through Amsterdam, Hamburg and Copenhagen.
Taking a cruise through Norway will allow you to experience this beautiful country at a relaxed pace. You get the chance to see the Northern Lights at Batsfjord or Hammerfest, enjoy the incredible hilltop views from Alesund and explore the vibrant yet quaint city of Bergen. There are many cruises available through Norway, each offering a different way to see one of Europe's best destinations.
With a short trip from Athens to Malta, you can experience Greece's - and perhaps Europe's - most architecturally important city, before moving on to Valletta, Malta's beautiful capital. Whilst making your stops, you will get the unique opportunity to see the Acropolis, the legendary Kerameikos Cemetery and be able to relax with a full body scrub in the luxurious Hammam baths.

There are literally hundreds of luxury cruises to choose from, which take in all manner of different destinations. Regardless of where you sail to, however, getting there in comfort is just as important. With a luxury cruise, you will be able to enjoy a short getaway that will prove the perfect opportunity to relax on your way to visiting some of the continent's most amazing cultural and beauty highlights.
