Expedition and small ship cruise

With unique locations, voyage to smaller ports, visit less-crowded villages and like-minded travellers, small ship and expedition cruising is perfect for those looking for an adventure, but with plenty of onboard comforts. The best part of smaller ships is that they drop anchor at destinations that larger ships can’t reach, allowing you to embrace the local culture up close without the crowds.
