Written by the company
Small cruise ship cruises to most of the world's seas and oceans, and some rivers too. Destinations as diverse as Croatia, Antarctica, Greece, Iceland, the Seychelles, Indonesia, Seychelles, Turkey, Greenland, Norway, Alaska, India, Italy, New Zealand, Vietnam, Montenegro and many more. Our largest ships carry around 250 passengers, most carry 30-100. They reach the small ports and bays even medium size vessels cannot get close to. We spend more time in the destination and much less time at sea. Our goal is to let you explore the destinations we visit rather than to keep you on board the ships. The ships we use are either the best, or often the only way to visit the destinations.
