Small Ship Cruises, Sailings with Under 500 Passengers:
We offer you an unparalleled selection of the world's finest small ships. From luxury craft to expedition vessels, the finest European riverboats to popular domestic cruises, we are uniquely qualified to provide options for your special cruise vacation.
Go where the big ships cannot go, venture into tiny docks and secluded beach-heads. Journey into hidden fjords and uninhabited islands where no infrastructure exists. Travel with a few instead of a crowd.
Small ships, river boats, barges and tall sail ships enable you to experience, personally and intimately, an array of fascinating destinations. From the U.S. to the Caribbean, in Western Europe, Greenland and the High Canadian Arctic, Central and South America, Antarctica, the Far East and Pacific. The companies that offers you these small ships have created thoughtfully planned itineraries to bring you close to places of natural beauty and cultural interest in ways large ships cannot consider.
Reach your hand into the icy spray of an Alaskan waterfall — from the ship’s rail. Discover yet another shade of a Caribbean Island blue, as you drop anchor and swim in a secluded cove. Stroll and explore picturesque harbor towns and exotic ports like St Kitts, Manaus, French Guyana, Lisbon, Ketchikan, and Auckland.
