Small Ship Cruises

Geared for adventure, small ship cruises are all about being immersed in the unspoiled wonders of nature while enjoying the camaraderie and comforts of life on-board. These small ships can only hold from 22 to 84 guests depending upon the vessel and trip.

 

Built for expeditions, these cruises offer guests a variety of multi-sport activities including kayaking, hiking, snorkeling and paddle boarding at no extra charge. There are activities offered twice per day with 3 levels of difficulty to allow everyone to find their preferred level of challenge.

 

Once on board, the casual comfort, gourmet meals, and friendly crew make guests feel right at home. Expedition cruises are the perfect trip for multi-generational families, nature-lovers and wildlife enthusiasts who are looking for a unique, and intimate experience at sea.
