Small ships have several advantages — distinctive itineraries, access to smaller ports and waterways, and no crowds — all in all, a much more unique experience! In this issue we showcase several cruise lines that will sweep you away in a smaller vessel for a truly unforgettable vacation at sea. Bon
Voyage!
Cruisers craving more adventure will enjoy sailing on the 96-passenger Spirit of '98, which will take them to hidden nooks and crannies to enjoy the natural beauty and abundant animal life of Alaska's Inside Passage. Her small size makes her ideal for "up-close and personal" cruising, by providing views that big-ship passengers would only be able to see with binoculars. The ship was designed to be reminiscent of an early-20th century coastal steamer, with carved wooden cabinetry and a Grand Salon with a full bar.
Sailing on Sea Cloud Cruises's Sea Cloud will make you feel like you're a member of a very exclusive club, traveling in luxury and style. Originally constructed as a private yacht in 1931 for Wall Street tycoon E.F. Hutton, Sea Cloud offers a relaxed, yet elegant environment, with superior service and dining. She sails the warm waters of the Caribbean from December to March. Watching the deck crew unfurl the 29 sails will remind you of an earlier, simpler time at sea.
American Cruise Line's newest ship, American Star, will depart for her maiden voyage on June 2, as she travels from harbor to harbor along coastal New England. She will offer her 100 passengers some of the largest staterooms in the industry, as well as many amenities not typically found on small ships, such as private balconies and elevators to all decks.
A Volga River sailing on board Litvinov allows cruisers to see a side of this country that is often missed on land tours. With English-speaking guides, the ship's 210 passengers take in the old-world charm of smaller cities, remote islands, and pastoral landscapes, as well as Russia's legendary cities, as the ship follows the path Peter the Great sailed from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Her Kremlin Bar is a pleasant place to indulge in one of Russia's favorite beverages, vodka. |
