Small ship charters, river cruises, and expedition ships offer authentic destination experiences far away from the crowds.
Whether it’s a boutique cruise ship, expedition ship, or river cruise vessel, small ship charters offer unique experiences for your milestone celebration, board meeting, top-tier incentive program, or corporate retreat.
These smaller vessels generally accommodate 50 to 500 guests and have exclusive access to hidden harbors, narrow ports, and shallow waterways that larger ships cannot access.
Small ship charters, including river cruise vessels and expedition ships, provide several distinct advantages:
Personalized services and higher staff-to-guest ratios
Access to less-visited, exotic ports of call
Focus on authentic cultural experiences and active adventures
Fresh food cooked to order, often locally sourced
Uncrowded venues, no lines, no waiting
River cruise charters: New ships, more inclusions
Newer boutique-style river vessels offer an upscale, relaxed travel experience. Most ships offer complimentary Wi-Fi, wine and beer with meals, innovative balcony suites and staterooms, and immersive shoreside experiences.
Worldwide river cruise destinations:
Rivers of Europe, Asia, Egypt, South America, USA (Columbia & Snake Rivers, The Mississippi)
Premium expedition ship charters: The ultimate travel adventure
A cruise to a bucket-list destination on a premium expedition ship is the ultimate travel experience. Purpose-built, eco-friendly ships are now sailing to every corner of the world. Most excursions are included, and Expedition Teams sail on each voyage to provide in-depth exploration.
