Small Ship Cruises

Small Ship Cruises

Small-ship cruising changes the geography of a trip. With fewer guests you can use smaller harbours, move more quickly through embarkation, and enjoy a quieter onboard rhythm.

Typical capacity

We generally recommend ships carrying between 100 and 300 guests. Below that, the experience is highly intimate; above it, the feel begins to approach a mid-size luxury ship.

Who this suits

Guide pricing (USD, per person)

Expect roughly $4,200 to $9,000 per person for a week to 11 nights in high season. Inclusions (drinks, excursions, Wi‑Fi) are often richer than on larger ships, which affects the comparison.

Where small ships excel

Greek islands, Croatia, the Caribbean’s quieter anchorages, coastal Norway, and parts of Southeast Asia.
