Why you should go: Small-ship sailing is one of the best ways to cruise. It's a more intimate experience; you get a higher ratio of staff per guest (compared to larger vessels) so the experience feels more personalised. The size of the ships also means you can discover more off-the-beaten-path destinations, because they fit into smaller ports.

What's the big deal? We've rounded up our favourite offers for small-ship cruises, saving Travelzoo members up to 39% on pricing elsewhere. See all six below—each includes flights.
