We summarise the pros and cons between choosing a small or large ship to cruise on. We have chosen our travel partners carefully to include both options.
Small ships can access regions and obtain close-up views that large cruise ships simply can't offer plus there is a friendly conviviality on board amongst passengers who tend to be more motivated to take in the surrounding beauty than be distracted by entertainments on board.
The 20 metre Snow Goose was originally built as a private yacht. The upper bridge deck provides a lovely point for spotting wildlife and comfortable seating for passengers.
Large ships can offer an extensive range of activities and facilities not possible on small ships: gymnasia, spas swimming pools, gourmet restaurants, live music and dancing are all available when you are not soaking up the scenery.
Holland America has been operating cruises to Alaska since 1971. Each of its ships accommodates approximately 1200 passengers and is renowned for offering a wide range of facilities.
