Hi, Mamei

It's true that some cruises can take weeks or months, but other cruises are much shorter. For instance, it's possible to go on a harbor cruise for an hour or so. (Buy a ticket, get on a ship used for that purpose, and take a tour of a harbor.) There also are short cruises to go whale watching, see dolphins, go to nearby islands, see the coast, etc.

You certainly could say something like "I want to go on a short cruise" or "They went on a short cruise." "Creuser" is not spelling I recognize.
