Small ships offer the opportunity to explore the world from a uniquely personal perspective.

From Antarctica to the Arctic, the Caribbean to Canada, Mexico to the Mediterranean, they travel the great rivers of Europe and North America, sail along Norwegian fjords and other scenic coasts, cross oceans, explore the globe’s most remote destinations, and even embark on world cruises.

They go where the big ships go, but they can can go further.

Their size enables a small group of travelers to go where no other cruise ships go – to the inland capitals of Europe and Asia, tiny islands in the tropics, undiscovered ports in the Middle East, remote coves and bays in Alaska, America’s Intra-Coastal Waterway and more.

The combination of out-of-the-way destinations and relatively small amount of passengers means that the lucky few onboard experience the world as though it was theirs alone to discover.

Whether the shipboard experience emphasizes sheer elegance and luxury while visiting some of the world’s most glamorous yachting destinations, or a more informal yet equally delightful and comfortable lifestyle for journeying through nature’s most extreme environments, all small ships have other qualities in common.

They enable guests to socialize easily and share experiences with like-minded passengers who share their interests and tastes and they virtually eliminate the hassles of travel. Getting on and off the vessel is effortless, with docking in the very centre of the action of each destination or port, and sightseeing is crowdless, often in places where there are few other visitors.

Cruise lines that feature small ships and small ship type cruises include, America Cruise Lines, Hurtigruten, Majestic America Line, Pearl Seas Cruises, Seabourn Cruise Line, Seadream Yacht Club, SIlversea Cruises, Uniworld River Cruises and Windstar Cruises.
