This type of cruise is not for everyone. It is for the person who enjoys out of the way places
with distinct itineraries. The ships are smaller, therefore, can maneuver in more difficult and tight areas, pull into smaller
harbors and go to more exotic locales, unlike their larger counterparts.
It
is for people who value their privacy, and prefer more intimate settings. Smaller ships usually accommodate a few hundred
passengers, some only a dozen, compared to thousands on the big mega ships. It is for passengers with a discerning palate,
because the cuisine is truly a work of art, especially on the luxury lines and the river barges (the latter ones are renowned
for their gourmet chefs).
With small ship cruising, a whole other world opens up and is ready to be discovered.

Many, such as Seabourn , Silverseas, and SeaDream Yacht Club come with a mini bar in cabin stocked
with your favorite brand. Wines are included with dinner, along with the shore excursions and gratuities.. It is truly a one
price, all-inclusive experience. It is for the person who wants to experience firsthand, the history, the culture, the arts,
the historical sights, accompanied with a lecturer or a historian or a famous writer/journalist, on board who will complement
the itinerary.
