Small ship cruise lines don't have all the luxuries of the big liners. You probably won't have a dance hall, and you probably won't have as many dining halls. What you won't have can be more than made up for in what you will have.

The Small Ship Cruise Lines Advantage
What you get that a big ship can't offer is a far more up-close adventure vacation. Where you might see a few good things from the deck of an ocean liner, you experience those things first hand. A small ship is a choice to be made when you want an experience with a real challenge.

Think about the moment in Alaska when you are close enough to the bears to see their expression. Any closer and you'd be lunch. Don't worry though, you're safe enough to really take in the majesty of these creatures.

The point of small ship cruise lines is that the destination needs to be felt and experienced in a hands-on way. You will be changed by the experience, that much I can promise you. So whether you are in the land of the midnight sun, or in the Galapagos island, you'll know more, feel more, and do more than on a normal vacation.
