Small Ship Oceangoing Cruises — Expert Reviews & Articles

Here we share articles and reviews about small-ship oceangoing cruises that ply the world’s oceans, east and west, north and south.

Designed for the open seas, travel between continents or from the mainland to islands well out to sea, oceangoing ships also offer port-rich cruises such as between the Western and Eastern Mediterranean or from Great Britain to Baltic Sea ports.

You’ll find them in the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean and the polar regions.

Some oceangoing ships are also used for expedition itineraries.

If you like small-scale travel, but also enjoy the vibe of traditional big-ship cruises, then you’ll appreciate that small-ship oceangoing cruises are mini versions of the mega ship experience in many ways.

Oceangoing small-ship cruises offer:

• multiple dining options
• onboard entertainment, to the tune of live music perhaps
• well-accoutered cabins and suites
• plush interiors
