Small ship cruising offers a great way to see destinations in an intimate manner with anywhere from 20-500 people. Smaller ships can bring you closer to your destination. They often have more of a focus on culture and learning about the region you are visiting. Un-Cruise Adventures offers options right here in the Pacific Northwest, into B.C. and Alaska as well as the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, the Hawaiian Islands,  and the Galapagos. Hurtigruten offers adventures in Norway, Antarctica, Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland. If sailing is your thing, Star Clippers offer some unique sailing adventures in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Panama Canal as well as some Transatlantic sailings.
