Small ship cruising combines the luxurious, relaxed and care-free atmosphere of life aboard ship in the exhilarating sea air with the casual, comfortable atmosphere surrounding a group of like-minded friends sharing in discovering new surroundings and cultures.
Small ships can navigate close to remote areas inaccessible to large liners. Most carry small craft (zodiacs) which can be launched to take you ashore in places where there are no docks. Naturalist-Interpretive guides and expedition leaders well schooled in in the environments and cultures visited are on hand to make each voyage a true learning experience.
