Wanting to get away from the busy and stressful city life for a while? How about spending your vacation onboard a luxurious cruise ship that will indulge your needs for leisure and relaxation?

Vacations should primarily be about relaxing, entertainment and fun. Sometimes, traveling and visiting tourist destinations can only give you more stress as you wrestle around a crowd of tourist underneath the scorching sun. A short cruise would be a better choice, but keep in mind that cruise ships are not created equal! Larger cruise ships can accommodate around 3,000 to 6,000 vacationers at a time. Having this huge number of people in a limited shape will only remind of the city’s hustle and bustle. On the other hand, smaller cruise boats have a limited passenger count from 100 to 500 people.

You can experience first-hand luxury and personalized service when you take a cruise on these smaller boats. The crew can take care of their guests better and you’ll have more moving space compared with a those huge ships that is packed with vacationers. You can unwind to your heart’s content and save yourself the headache of forced relaxation with screaming kids around and hundreds of people buzzing around you.

Top deck swimming pools of these smaller cruise ships won’t be crowded with hundreds of people vying for a cool spot under the sun. Restaurants onboard would feel like an elegant 5-star one with gorgeous acoustic and personalized food service. You’d also experience shopping on some island and have the time of your life less the crowd of people to ruin your much needed break.
