Flat Beds Tour + Cruise

Small Ship Cruising

After a low-key cruise? Small ship cruises carry just a few hundred passengers, making for a more intimate and luxurious experience. If you’re after a focus on your destination, rather than non-stop action and entertainment onboard, small ship cruising is a must. With options from Antarctica cruises to river cruises in Europe, there are cruise and tour options to suit every traveler.

Our team of experts here at Flat Beds Tour + Cruises are available to package your small cruising experience with return airfares. This allows you to unlock exclusive discounts you won’t find anywhere online.

What Are The Benefits Of Small Ship Cruises or Tours?

Small ships typically carry fewer passengers, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere

Higher staff-to-guest ratio that allows personalised service and attention

Access to smaller, less crowded ports that larger vessels can't reach

A range of unique destinations and experiences from islands to cities

Cultural immersion offering onboard lectures, workshops and excursions with local guides

Spacious cabins or suites designed to accommodate a wide range or preferences

High-quality, gourmet dining experiences that focus on local and fresh ingredients

Focus on the destination rather than non-stop entertainment you receive on large ships
