FAQs about Galapagos: What is a Galapagos small ship cruise?

A small-ship cruise is a type of cruise that provides a more intimate and personalized journey compared to larger cruise ships, often allowing passengers to have a closer connection to the destinations they visit.

There are numerous advantages associated with opting for a small-ship cruise. Firstly, the smaller size of the vessel creates a more relaxed and less crowded environment due to the reduced number of people on board. Additionally, the compact nature of the ship enables it to access smaller ports and destinations that larger cruise ships are unable to reach. This grants passengers the opportunity to explore more secluded and less frequented locations.

Another advantage is that the crew on a small ship cruise has the capacity to devote more time and attention to each individual passenger. From dining arrangements to shore excursions, you can expect a higher level of personalized care and service.
