Our collection of the
best small luxury ships at sea, each accommodating around 300
guests or fewer, emphasise just why luxury small ship cruising is
an entirely different mode of travel to regular cruising, and one
in which we have specialised for over 50 years.
A
luxury small cruise ship affords you more privacy, yet allows
you to be sociable when you want to, and you will receive a level
of personal service that you just wouldn't get on a larger vessel.
You can be really private and self-contained but it is also
effortlessly easy to get to know your fellow guests, as well as
having access to the captain and senior members of the crew, and a
delightful interaction with the select band who are your fellow
passengers on board your small ship. And of course you are
literally closer to the waves, so you actually feel like you're at
sea, rather than on some lavish floating hotel.
What's more, these small luxury ships can go into the tiny ports
and harbours that a big ship couldn't even approach, so you are
much closer to the action, and much further from the crowds. The
places you can visit might be way off the tourist trail - locations
you can only easily reach by sea - or the ultimate in style and
elegance, as you bob in tiny bays in the company of super yachts
and speedboats.
Small ships fall into a range of different categories and it is
our job to help you select the right one for you. There is a huge
amount of choice when it comes to a small luxury cruise, and below
is just a selection, from tiny yacht-like vessels
in the Med to romantic sailing ships in
the Caribbean and beyond.
