Small Ship and Luxury

Lately I've been sailing on smaller ships and I must admit, they are my favourite!

I've sailed on Silversea, Azamara, Seabourn and have a cruise booked with Explora. What I love about the smaller ships is the open feeling of the public areas, you never feel crowded and there are very few if any lines. You also have a better chance to get to know fellow cruisers.

The service is superb - amazing food, wait staff are friendly and get to know you.  There's no better feeling than walking up to the cafe and having them remember your coffee order, or sitting down in the bar and having them bring your drink order without even having to order it.

 Another benefit of smaller ships is that you can visit ports that are inaccessible for the larger ones - plus you can usually dock fairly close to town. There are no lines to get on and off the ship which is nice in the busier destinations.

Cabins are usually larger and have more amenities than the large ships. As well, usually there are more inclusions such as wifi, gratuities and some even include excursions.

Let me know if you have questions about small ships and the luxury cruise market.
