Yacht vs. Ocean

Not sure which style is right for you?

We sell both yacht and large-ship ocean cruises, so our advice is genuinely unbiased. Here is an honest comparison to help you decide.

If you want an intimate, relaxed atmosphere with access to small harbors, water sports off the ship, and a boutique feel with no crowds — a yacht cruise is the right fit.


If you prefer more onboard entertainment, a wider range of dining venues, and the amenities of a larger resort at sea — a traditional ocean cruise may be better.


Many of our clients alternate between both styles depending on the destination. Our specialists will ask the right questions and help you decide.
