Small-Ship Cruises
Luxury and small-ship cruises are known for personalized service, spacious staterooms and an intimate dining experience with high quality ingredients. Often there is a wide array of onboard activities and onshore excursions. A higher crew to passenger ratio than on many larger ocean cruise lines results in not only a more personal touch but also a more spacious experience with fewer passengers on board. Smaller ships are also able to navigate waterways and narrow passages that larger ocean vessels simply cannot, allowing you to explore exotic or hard to reach destinations not frequented by other cruises.
