Mini Cruises for a Family

Family vacations don't always have to be a full week. There are mini cruise vacations that last just two to four nights. Many mini cruises are often designed for couples, but there are some that cater to families. These cruises almost exclusively leave from Miami, Fla., and cruise to the Bahamas. Prices for mini cruises vary depending on the time of year for which you book the cruise and what type of suite you choose, but expect to spend between $200 and $700 per person.
