A world cruise is the ultimate travel experience—an extraordinary journey that weaves together continents, cultures, and coastlines over the course of several weeks or months. On a world cruise, each port becomes a new chapter, offering time to engage with places deeply, savor local flavors, and connect with the essence of the destinations you’ve long dreamed of exploring.
At Small Ship Travel, we specialize in world cruises aboard refined small ships. These longer itineraries offer a uniquely elegant way to experience the world: with personalized service, curated enrichment, and immersive shore programs—all without the rush or complexity of traditional travel. Whether you're embarking on a full circumnavigation or a grand regional segment, we help you select the ideal voyage to match your style and interests.

River cruising offers a seamless and luxurious way to experience Europe’s most historic and scenic waterways, from the fairy-tale castles of the Rhine to the imperial capitals of the Danube and the artistic treasures of the Seine. Unlike ocean cruises, these intimate voyages bring travelers directly into the heart of medieval villages, grand cities, and world-renowned wine regions, allowing for deeper cultural immersion. Along the way, passengers can explore UNESCO-listed landmarks, savor locally inspired cuisine, and enjoy exclusive excursions, from private château tours to classical concerts in Vienna.
