Size & Atmosphere: more intimate smaller ships, yachts and barges enter bays, rivers and ports inaccessible to larger vessels. Smaller ships attract a more thoughtful, self-contained traveler: the well-traveled passengers you meet on board make for congenial company, an important reason behind the different atmosphere on small ships.
Itinerary Focus: small ship travelers desire more than duty free shopping and a sunny sun deck! Each voyage has a focus, be it natural history, human history, art, or active travel and sports.
vacationtechnician Insider Tip: large ship cruise will be the first cruise for a majority of the passengers. Passengers on a small ship could be said to make more informed choice - they know the difference: typically 25% to 75% of the guests on these ships are returning, repeat customers. This enlightened passion adds enormously to your experience.
Dress & Formality: while all voyages maintain a certain level of gentility, requirements do vary, from no formal nights - smart casual, or country club casual - to cocktail dresses and formal wear up to 2-3 nights a week. Know your expectations.
A Vacation or a Journey? Even on a small ship, a Caribbean or other itinerary will be more of a relaxing holiday than an active expedition with daily stops for exploration. A small ship expedition or a European barge itinerary enables hiking, biking and walking through with stimulating museum visits and other learning opportunities. Such journeys require more engagement from you than a day ashore while docked at a sunny beach-side Mediterranean port.
