A Short Break with us is the perfect antidote to the rigors and demands of the day-to-day. Why not treat yourself and escape for a few days to soak up the romance and charm of captivating cities? Whether you’re celebrating something special, planning a cultural getaway for the family, or simply keen to change the scenery for a few days, we have a Short Break with your name on it.

Hike up Tenerife's Mount Teide. Sample the local wines in a vineyard on Lanzarote, set amid the volcanic soil of this breathtaking island. Marvel at the ornate architecture of the Royal Alcázar in Seville – one of the oldest palaces in Europe. Yes, the beaches, blue skies and vivid landscapes are certainly irresistible, but they also come with the promise of cultural richness and historical fascination.

With us, you’ll have ample time to discover the heart and soul of three cities. You can unwind in our on-board spa, put your feet up and sip a glass of something chilled on deck, or let your hair down and throw some shapes on the dancefloor. And that's all before (and in between) cycling along Amsterdam's leafy canals, tucking into a hearty Eisbein (ham hock) in Hamburg, or catching up on culture in Rotterdam.

Cruise along America's sun-kissed west coast, stopping at vibrant San Francisco to explore the city's up-hill-down-hill streets, buzzing art scene and eclectic cuisine. Head over to Hawaii for surf 'n turf and swaying tropical rhythms. Soak up the distinctive joys of Sydney, Auckland, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore and more… so many iconic places, and time to get to know them better. Are you ready to see the greatest Earth on show?
