Having been recently introduced to cruising, I can honestly say I am in love with the options and endless possibilities to this way of travel. Choosing the right ship is of course a key factor but there are so many Luxury Small Ship options, together with itineraries which cover each continent, it will be difficult to choose just one! Consider waking up each morning to be greated with a new destination to explore, the finest dining and spa on board your floating boutique hotel, and only unpacking once! I would highly recommend Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, SeaDream Yacht Club, Scenic, Crystal, Silversea and Celebrity.
Why not extend your cruise by adding on a hotel for a few nights pre and post cruise?
