Why Choose a Small Ship Cruise?

Small ship cruising is all about atmosphere, access and a more relaxed pace.

With fewer guests onboard, everything tends to feel calmer and more personal, from dining and service to the way you move around the ship.

It is a brilliant choice if you prefer a quieter pool deck, more space to unwind, and a holiday that feels a little more boutique.

Another big advantage is where small ships can take you. With their size and flexibility, they can often visit smaller ports and more off-the-beaten-track islands that larger ships cannot easily reach. You may find yourself sailing into tucked-away harbours, stopping at lesser-known destinations, or spending more time in port.

Why Book a Caribbean Cruise?

The Caribbean is made for cruising, especially when you want variety without the hassle.

With so many islands close together, you can wake up somewhere new each day, enjoy a mix of beaches, culture and excursions, and still return to the comfort of your ship at the end of every evening. From colourful island towns and local markets to coral reefs, rainforest trails and hidden coves, the Caribbean offers something for every type of traveller.

A cruise is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to experience it all, and with a small ship, you often get a more relaxed and authentic feel along the way.
