(Image: P&O Ferries) If you're searching for something to put in your diary this winter, to ensure that December offers more than just a countdown to Christmas, there's nothing quite like a mini cruise to perk things up.

There are plenty of places you can get to really quickly for a lovely weekend away, after all. The perfect example is being served up this by P&O Ferries, which has a really lovely-sounding mini-cruise on December 13-15, taking voyagers on a trip to Amsterdam and back from just £139 per person . That price includes two nights in your en-suite cabin as well as a day trip to Amsterdam, making for pretty phenomenal value.

You'll arrive at Hull on your first night to board the boat, then travel overnight to Rotterdam. In the morning a coach will take you to Amsterdam for the day before collecting you to take you home, and you'll then sleep aboard again to wake up back in Hull, making for a brilliant weekend. Of course, while you're on the ship you'll also get to enjoy some fun, including tribute acts to the likes of Kylie Minogue and a range of classic boybands.
