If you love to be on the water but hesitate to board a cruise ship with up to 6000 passengers, now is the time to discover small ship cruising. With a guest capacity ranging between 34 and 350 guests, smaller ships offer a more intimate experience and the opportunity to explore unique locations.

A wide variety of ship and cruising styles are available. Small ships include adventure/expedition ships, sailing ships, coastal cruisers, luxury yachts, and river cruisers.

In the US, there is plenty to explore via river cruises, coastal cruises along both coasts, and cruises around the Great Lakes.

We also arrange pre and/or post-cruise stays and excursions.
