The best small ship cruises
Try a boutique cruise holiday on a ship designed for an intimate experience
As much as the mega liners of the world are tempting for the all-singing, all-dancing, resort-at-sea type of holidays, the best small ship cruises, which typically carry fewer than 500 passengers, are all about exclusivity, individuality, and personal service.
We think the best small ship cruises are those that are a little out of the ordinary. Perhaps it’s a cruise that follows an unusual itinerary around tiny, lesser-explored islands, like Scotland's Western Isles . Or maybe the ship itself is extraordinary because it is more akin to a sailing boat, such as the stylish MS Galileo . We love small ship cruises when something special happens onboard too, such as a celebrity guest appearance .
When searching for the best small ship cruises, you'll want to make sure they match the experiences you're after. For a friendly atmosphere where guests get to know each other over dinner, a European river cruise along the Douro or Danube can offer plenty of shared experiences and opportunities to meet new people. For something that will give you plenty to talk about when you get home, expedition cruises to far-flung places like Antarctica are thrilling and intrepid without sacrificing comfort.
For more ideas, we’ve rounded up the best small ship cruises to help you pick the perfect nautical holiday.
A regal voyage around Scottish islands
Exploring a region by cruise often means you can cover more ground in less time. On a small ship, there’s the opportunity to tuck into ports and waterways that big cruise liners can’t. The elegant Lord of the Glens, hosting just 54 guests, investigates the inland waters of the Caledonian Canal and hidden Scottish sea lochs. Unlike some ocean cruises where you enjoy endless views of the horizon, on a Scottish cruise, there are landmarks and landscapes to admire from the deck almost all the time, including Urquhart Castle, the waterway of Laggan Avenue that’s lined with Scots pines, and the looming Ben Nevis.
Lord of the Glens is a one-of-a-kind ship with a design inspired by the Royal Family's former floating palace, The Royal Yacht Britannia. There’s a feeling of warmth and comfort throughout the ship, where dinner is created from locally sourced ingredients, and drinks are served in crystal glasses by attentive staff as you look out at the Scottish scenery through enormous picture windows.
You can join a very special departure on Lord of the Glens in May 2023 hosted by TV weather presenter, Carol Kirkwood.
You'll hear Carol reminisce about her life growing up in Morar and more about her grandfather’s role in building the incredible Glenfinnan Viaduct — which you'll also have a chance to cross on a journey on the West Highland Railway included in the trip.
A taste of Venice on a foodie cruise
Take an oh-so-stylish cruise on S.S LA Venezia, an opulent river ship swathed in fine fabrics and finished with gilded accents and plenty of iconic Murano glass (she’s sailing to and from Venice, after all).
While the ship alone is enough to tempt, an October 2024 voyage from Venice to Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello includes a talk, Q&A and book-signing session with celebrity chef James Martin . In addition, the much-loved Saturday Morning host will cook a delectable gala dinner one evening onboard, too.
You’ll be in the company of just 125 other guests, so attentive service is assured. But just because it’s a small ship, that doesn’t mean it’s light on choices: S.S La Venezia has three dining venues, including an Italian kitchen on the upper deck.
This cruise offers exclusive access to some of the city's most treasured buildings, like St Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace — perfect if you're keen to learn more about Venice's art and architecture.

An unforgettable Antartica expedition
A cruise to Antarctica really is nothing short of extraordinary. And to do it right, you need to join an accomplished crew who know how this wonderland works. In 2020, expedition cruise experts Hurtigruten introduced MS Fridtjof Nansen to its fleet and it fast became one of our favourite small vessels to explore Antarctic waters.
Hosting just 500 guests, it's not the smallest ship exploring the region. But in this instance, being a little larger means you get some extra facilities including a choice of restaurants (a definite plus on an 11-night cruise), a large science centre, and a fabulous outdoor swimming pool (which, yes, is heated so you can take a dip in as you gaze across the monochromatic landscape).
A wine-themed sailing on the Douro River
River cruises are ideal for seeing the diversity of a region, and there’s plenty to see hopping from place to place along the Douro River in Portugal. A-ROSA ALVA is a small river boat that promises plenty of variety on an itinerary that starts in the colourful city of Porto before sailing into the wine-growing valleys.
Guests have the chance to disembark and take part in the traditional grape harvest, but that’s not the only reason it’s the perfect cruise for wine lovers. There are also plenty of opportunities to taste the local port wine at the Quinta da Roseda estate near Pinhão and sip from the ship’s selection as you look out at the passing scenery from ALVA’s Panorama Lounge.
A breath-taking tour of Croatia's Dalmatian coast
Croatia's Dalmatian Coast is home to some of the country's most spectacular locations, like the charming city of Spilt, historic Dubrovnik and the sleek island resort of Hvar. Set sail with us on a boutique, Supreme category ship for a voyage that takes you through these wonderful waters.
Highlights of the itinerary include stop offs in Mljet, home to verdant Mljet National Park, the peaceful and picturesque island of Brac, the stylish resort island of Hvar, and the popular city of Dubrovnik, with its stunning Old Town.
For this idyllic Croatia cruise, you'll be sailing on board a Supreme category ship, which has a maximum of 41 passengers. You'll get to enjoy spectacular coastal views while lounging on the sun deck, wine and dine in the elegant restaurant and bar, and relax in the onboard jacuzzi, too.
A sailing around the stunning Cyclades
Set sail around Greece's Cyclades islands on Star Clipper, a four-masted ship that carries just 166 guests. A reconstruction of a 19th century four-masted Barquentine, Star Clipper has 81 spacious staterooms, all with traditional, elegant decor, and open-air bar hosting live music, two saltwater splash pools, an inviting sun deck with loungers, a peaceful library, and an enticing restaurant.
You'll board Star Clipper in Athens before heading to Kusadasi in Turkey. After that, the ship will call at the islands of Patmos, home to the ancient Monastery of the Apocalypse; Amorgos, with it's rugged landscape and great hiking spots; Spetses, with white-washed villas and an abundance of pretty coves; and the ever-popular island of Mykonos, which is packed with happening bars, boutique shops, sandy beaches, and its traditional windmills.
A scenic route along the Danube River
Enjoy an eight-day sailing along the Danube River, the second-longest river in Europe, with Good Housekeeping in 2024.
Departing in July and October, you'll have the choice of seeing Europe's most picturesque cities in either summer and autumn, but can enjoy the luxury, intimacy and grandeur of S.S Maria Theresa whatever time of year you sail. Accommodating no more than 150 guests, S.S Maria Theresa is a small cruise ship that boasts a opulent staterooms, lounges and bars, a Viennese café, a spa, peaceful sun deck, swimming pool and cinema room.
As part of your sailing, you'll visit Budapest; Vienna, where you'll attend a private classical music concert as part of your fare; the quaint town of Dürnstein in Austria; and the beautiful German city of Passau. You'll also have the chance to soak up views of Austria's glorious Wachau Valley as you cruise through it, too.
A luxurious cruise around the best of Bordeaux
Combine fantastic French food and wine with pure luxury on this cruise around Bordeaux in July 2024.
On this exclusive, eight-day Good Housekeeping sailing, travel on France's newest and most luxurious river cruise ship, S.S Bon Voyage. Accommodating up to 124 guests, S.S Bon Voyage is designed to fully immerse guests in French culture, art, and wine. Onboard, you'll find a choice of five-star restaurants, an infinity pool and relaxing sun deck, a fitness centre and the Serenity River Spa.
Departing from Bordeaux, you'll discover the wine culture and fascinating history of this romantic French region by visiting the UNESCO-listed citadel in Blaye, with its magnificent historic fortress, as well as the vineyards and châteaux of Cussac Fort Médoc, Cadillac, and Saint-Émilion.

The luxury summer cruise that’s cheaper than flying
A mini cruise can offer excellent value for money, and can also offer a cost-effective route to popular international events.
British cruise line Cunard launched its first new ship in 14 years earlier this month, having spent around £480m on the build of Queen Anne . The 2,996-passenger vessel, named after the Stuart monarch, will be officially named at a ceremony in Liverpool on 3 June. The ship will be based year-round in Southampton where Cunard is now headquartered.
Like Cunard’s three existing ships, RMS Queen Mary 2 , Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth , Anne is a heritage ship underpinned by luxury and understated elegance – the experience is all about afternoon teas and gala dinners rather than Broadway-style shows and bingo.
Interiors have been designed by David Collins Studio, Richmond International and Sybille de Margerie, who between them have worked on projects that include Harrods, bespoke David Beckham suites at the Londoner Macao hotel, Sandy Lane in Barbados and the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Paris. Creative director Adam D Tihany has been behind restaurants for high-profile chefs such as Daniel Boulud, Heston Blumenthal and Paul Bocuse.
While Queen Anne ‘s cruises this year include week-long voyages that nose into Norway’s fjords and fortnight-long itineraries around the western Mediterranean, there are also some remarkably good value mini-cruises, among them a two-night break to Hamburg in Germany.
Coinciding with Fifa’s Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, the cruise departs Southampton on 30 June and arrives in Hamburg two days later – the quarter-finals will take place at the city’s Volksparkstadion on 5 July. The price of £299pp includes sea-view accommodation in a Britannia Club Balcony stateroom, which has a lounge area, complimentary Penhaligon’s toiletries, welcome bottle of sparkling wine, complimentary room service menu, priority embarkation and disembarkation and a dedicated steward.
Also included are meals in the main restaurant, afternoon tea, dance and art classes, deck games, access to the pool, classical concerts and evening entertainment. And of course luggage allowance.
Compare that to a one-way flight from Heathrow to Hamburg on the same departure date: British Airways has one-way fares available for £318pp, excluding checked-in luggage.
Cunard isn’t the only cruise line offering good value mini cruises this summer. MSC has a two-night cruise aboard Virtuosa from Southampton to Cherbourg on 1 June, that arrives on the coast of Normandy just before the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings on 6 June .
I joined the world's largest cruise for remote workers and learnt how to work smarter
Costing £169pp, it includes accommodation in an inside cabin, all meals, tips, entertainment and port fees, rising to £209pp in an outside cabin. An equivalent on Brittany Ferries’ Portsmouth-Cherbourg overnight route on 3 June costs £161 for two passengers in a Club cabin without any meals or a car.
Anniversary events will be taking place along the coast from 1 June, starting with a free display of fireworks over the five landing beaches, and an international ceremony on 6 June on Omaha beach. The D-Day Festival runs for the first two weeks of June, with events along the coast until 16 June.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Inside Tom Cruise’s strained relationship with daughter Suri as she ditches his name
Share this with
As Suri Cruise reached her 18th birthday, rumours have swirled that she is no longer in contact with her famous dad Tom Cruise .
Suri celebrated her big day with her mum, Katie Holmes , spending the afternoon shopping in the New York sunshine.
Tom, 61, was nowhere to be seen and is currently filming for a new project in London with no word on whether he sent any birthday wishes.
Their relationship is said to be so strained that Suri has decided to ditch her last name, going instead by Suri Noelle — her mother’s middle name.
In 2016, a US outlet reported the teenager has a huge rift with her father and the pair have not been in contact for years.
Tom, who has two more children, hasn’t been pictured with Suri for years but is believed to have been paying child support as per his and Katie’s divorce settlement.
Was Tom Cruise involved in Suri’s childhood?
In April 2006, Katie and Tom revealed to the world they had welcomed a baby girl and five months later they graced the cover of Vanity Fair with Suri in their arms.
They married in a Scientologist church months later and lots of pictures of Tom out and about carrying his newborn cropped up.
‘My whole life I always wanted to be a father,’ he gushed to the publication at the time, having adopted Connor and Isabella with Nicole Kidman previously.
‘I always said to myself that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them — that I’d never make a promise to my kids that I couldn’t keep.’
Things seemed to be going swimmingly until six years later when the Dawson’s Creek star filed for divorce while Tom was away filming Oblivion.
When was Tom Cruise last seen with Suri?
Around the time of the divorce was the last time Tom was publicly pictured with Suri, taking her to Disney World in 2012.
At the time, a spokesperson for the Top Gun star said: ‘Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.’
The high profile split was said to be in part due to Katie’s fears around Scientology, after members of the group moved into their home.
Speaking to the Daily Mail before his death, founder Ron Miscavige said the decision ‘didn’t sit so well with Katie, of course, and it hurt the marriage.’
When the divorce was settled, the Batman Begins star was granted sole custody plus $400,000 (£315,456) per year in child support until Suri turned 18.
It’s reported that Tom has not seen Suri in the 10 years since, with the pair being no contact for the last three years.
A source told Heat magazine: ‘Tom is feeling guilty about missing so much of her life, but insists that he hasn’t completely shut Suri out of his life, and does get updates from time to time.’
Has Katie Holmes said anything about Suri and Tom’s relationship?
Katie has not commented on Tom’s relationship with their daughter but has been incredibly open about how protective she feels over Suri’s privacy.
‘What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,’ she told Glamour last year.
‘I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.’
‘I love her so much,’ the mom-of-one told InStyle in 2020. ‘My biggest goal has always been to nurture her into her individuality, to make sure she is 100 percent herself and strong, confident and able.
‘And to know it. She came out very strong — she’s always been a strong personality.’
Metro.co.uk has reached out to Tom’s reps for comment.
