Cruising doesn’t have to mean 5,000 people and endless sea days.
When most people think of cruising, they picture towering ships packed with thousands of passengers, lined-up buffets, and a whole lot of open ocean between ports.
But there’s another way to sail.
Actually, two other ways.
The Joy of Small-Ship Ocean Cruising
🌊 Windstar Cruises offers a completely different kind of experience — think fewer than 350 guests, intimate yacht-like spaces, and itineraries that feel curated rather than crowded.
Yes, there are sea days. But when you’re lounging on the deck with endless views and no lineups, you’ll start to see them as a gift, not a gap.
Imagine sailing through the Greek Isles, or exploring the coast of Iceland… all with a gourmet twist thanks to Windstar’s James Beard Foundation partnership.
The Magic of River Cruising
🛥️ With AmaWaterways, you’ll glide along Europe’s great rivers — the Rhine, the Danube, the Seine — docking right in the heart of iconic cities like Vienna, Budapest, and Amsterdam.
No tender boats. No sea days. Just culture, cuisine, and castles around every corner.
And new for 2026–27? Group departures to Egypt and Colombia… and even a Festive Rhine holiday cruise!
Two Different Vibes.
✨ One is breezy and bold.
✨ One is scenic and storybook.
Both are far from the crowds.
So… which one fits your travel style best?
