What is the best small ship cruise line? It's a matter of perception and what your unique needs and wants are.


 Cruising on a small ship offers a multitude of advantages that cater to discerning travelers seeking unique and intimate experiences. Beyond simply checking off bucket list destinations, small ships have the distinct advantage of accessing ports that larger cruise lines simply cannot due to their size constraints. This opens up a world of exploration, allowing passengers to delve deeper into lesser-known gems and uncover hidden treasures along the way.One of the standout features of small ship cruising is the unparalleled level of customer service provided. With fewer passengers onboard, the crew has the opportunity to forge genuine connections with each guest, ensuring personalized attention and a heightened sense of hospitality throughout the journey.


Whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or in a group, the intimate setting of a small ship creates an atmosphere where every guest feels valued and well-cared for.From the moment you step aboard a small ship, you'll notice the difference in ambiance and service. The welcoming atmosphere is palpable, with crew members eager to assist and make your experience unforgettable. Whether it's a warm greeting upon arrival, personalized recommendations for onboard activities, or attentive service in the dining venues, the dedication of the crew to providing exceptional service shines through at every turn.Furthermore, the smaller size of the ship fosters a sense of camaraderie among passengers, creating opportunities for meaningful connections and shared experiences. Whether you're mingling with fellow travelers over cocktails at the onboard lounge, participating in engaging shore excursions, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings from the comfort of the deck, the sense of community aboard a small ship adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your cruise experience.Another advantage of small ship cruising is the flexibility it offers in terms of itinerary and activities.


With fewer passengers to accommodate, small ships can often deviate from traditional routes and explore off-the-beaten-path destinations that larger vessels cannot access. This allows for a more immersive and authentic travel experience, where you can discover hidden coves, remote islands, and charming coastal towns that are inaccessible to larger ships.In addition to exploring unique ports of call, small ship cruising also provides ample opportunities for onboard enrichment and entertainment. From informative lectures and cultural demonstrations to interactive workshops and culinary experiences, there's always something new and exciting to discover during your time at sea. Whether you're interested in learning about the local culture, honing your skills in a creative workshop, or simply relaxing and enjoying the stunning views from the deck, small ship cruises offer a diverse array of activities to suit every interest and preference.


For those seeking a truly immersive and unforgettable travel experience, small ship cruising offers the perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and personalized service. Whether you're embarking on a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, the intimate setting and unique opportunities for exploration make small ship cruising a standout choice for discerning travelers. With its unparalleled access to remote destinations, exceptional customer service, and diverse array of onboard amenities, a small ship cruise promises an unforgettable journey filled with lifelong memories.

Even COVID couldn’t diminish the magic of Disney!
Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible! She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! while on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue fir Star Wars Rise of the Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can’t wait to book with her again!!
