Yes there is, from the Mediterranean sea to the Red sea via the Suez Canal (in Egypt) then to the Indian Ocean.
The Suez canal resulted of the work of Ferdinand de Lesseps (1805-1894) and was inaugurated on Nov. 17 1869.
Nowadays western Europe to south Asia requires 15 to 20 days at sea while going via the Cape of Hope would require and additional 10 to 15 days.

Yes. Several, depends on your where in Europe and Asia.
For example, Turkey is one country with territory that straddles both Europe and Asia. Here, a "sea route" is as short as crossing the Bosphorus Strait.
There is also the Classical perspective - which may be what you're looking for: the route of the "Britania Rules The Waves" of yore: ships sail from Europe south, down the West coast of Africa, turn the corner at "Cape of Hope" sail northwards, then onwards to India, or "The Spice Island" of Far East.
Another route is to take the "shortcut" through the Suez canal from the Mediteranean Sea to Red Sea.
