Small Ship Luxury Ocean Cruising Specialist

Ready for San Fransisco aboard Explora Journeys |

Besides my amazing wife and beautiful daughters whom I love to pieces, travel plays an extremely important part in creating meaningful experiences in my life. Due to my demanding schedule and cherished travel business I have to be very purposeful when planning my next trip. So, when I want to get out on the high seas for a nice cruise I prefer cruising on small (under 1000 people) 5-6 star cruise ships. Honestly, these are one of my favourite things to do. I'm not a big party guy and I don't particularly enjoy large crowds or noisy situations so these small ships are perfect for me. They tend to have an upscale culinary scene and well stocked wine cellars to satisfy even the pickiest of clients. From high tea with fine china to expert crafted cocktails in perfectly weighted cut crystal glasses this kind of cruising is for me. It goes without saying that I love the fact that I get a lot of attention from the staff on these ships, with a better ratio of staff to passengers (often 1 / 1.5) than the large cruise ships, the crews on the small ones are typically more experienced with a higher level of specialized training. The suites are typically more spacious and the amenities of higher quality. They get into smaller ports as well which means that our ability to make a quick exit off the ship and into the destination for a day of exploring is quick and easy. And the the best part is despite the appearance of a larger price tag quite often with the all-inclusive nature of these these types of ships our dollar ultimately goes further. Here is a list of my favourite small ship 5 - 6 star cruise lines in no particular order. Silversea, Seabourn, Explora Journeys, Regent Seven Seas, Windstar, Oceania and of course Paul Gauguin. Now, it's important to remember that not all ships are fresh and new so make sure to get in touch with me for so I can let you know which ones are right off the production line and which ones and which ones have been to dry dock for a face-lift recently.
