Why You Would Like Small Ship Cruises

By Cherry Mercer


Everyone has different preferences. Some like tall, while others may like short. Some like skinny, and others like fat. He may like big, while she may like small. The point trying to be made here is that if you prefer not to be around thousands of people but still enjoy the experience of being on a cruise, then small ship cruises are definitely for you.

There are multiple reasons why a passenger would much rather travel on a small ship cruise over a big one. Being able to go onto smaller ports is a main benefit. Another benefit is that you can explore the culture of where you are traveling to and you can correspond with the natives of that area. You will also have the ability to see the wildlife of that region during your trip. These are great luxuries that would be harder to acquire while being on a big ship cruise with more people.

When you choose to go on a small cruise, you will receive much greater service than that of a bigger cruise. The main reason for this is simply because of the crew member to passenger ratio. A big cruise can carry over 1,000 passengers, with not enough staff to provide personal treatment that passengers would hope to get. When you are on a small cruise, the passenger to staff ratio is lower, resulting in better, more unique service for every individual.

One more benefit that the traveler has when being aboard a small cruise with less than 500 people is that you will meet a lot of people that you will be more than likely to see around the ship deck again. Because of the fact that there aren't that many people aboard the cruise, the people that you do encounter, you will be able to make a relationship with because the encounters will be more personal.

You are not limited as to where you can go on a small cruise. A couple African cruises that you can take advantage of are the Lindblad Expeditions, Movenpick, G Adventures, and Hapag Lloyd. These cruises have many different options that you can pick from as far as activities that you can do while you are on the cruise.

The US east coast offers American Canadian Caribbean Line, which has a capacity of 96 people. Visiting options for this particular cruise will be Florida, Rhode Island, Chesapeake, Erie Canal, and the New England Islands. These are just a few out of the many options that you can choose when going on a small cruise.

Types of cruises vary depending on what exactly the customer is looking for. Some of the options include but aren't limited to, classical music, dance host, dive boats/scuba, golf, singles and whale watching cruises. These are only a few of the many options you can choose when deciding what kind of trip you would like to go on.

Small cruise ships have a very good reputation when it comes to meeting the personal needs of the customer. You will experience great customer service, build relationships with other passengers, and have the option to choose from multiple destinations, and multiple types of cruises. When it's all said and done, if you are looking to get your money's worth out of your vacation, small ship cruises would be the way to go.
