Most Christmas and New Year small ship cruises are categorized as “luxury” and usually all-inclusive (expensive). To this category also belong river cruise tours operated by differently sized ships and smaller riverboats deployed on the most popular rivers and inland waterways in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
As most small cruise ships don’t offer the redundancy of onboard amenities that larger passenger ships do, small ship voyages focus on the destination, rather than the vessel itself. All "small cruise" holiday itineraries feature daily port calls and a full shore excursions program. Those are well paired with various enrichment activities – both onboard and ashore.
All small ship travel vacations are about getting up personal with the operated region/destination. That means all the itinerary's tours and excursions are professionally guided and marked by unique activities themed on history, culture, wildlife.
