This theatre has an emphasis on small ship cruising, river voyages, luxury and cultural experiences. Smaller ships can squeeze into the nooks and crannies of the world that larger, mass market vessels cannot reach - bringing a more intimate and individual feel to your cruise. This means you can experience lesser known and explored destinations in sociable surroundings more reminiscent of a relaxed private club.

The Small Cruise Ship Collection. Where Small Ships = Huge Choice
At The Small Cruise Ship Collection, we only do small ship cruises - our smallest ship can carry just 8 people, and the largest accommodates a maximum of 264. Most of the ships carry 40-100 passengers, and this give them several advantages. Small ships can easily access small harbours, bays, inlets and rivers that are completely off limits to their larger cousins. This brings huge benefits and choice to passengers, and also to the communities that live in the areas we visit. Powell Ettinger, director of The Small Cruise Ship Collection, will give you a quick guide to the ships, landscapes and people that you might come across.�

Get a Ringside Seat to Nature's Own Mesmerising Light Show - With Ian Ridpath
It’s dark, you’re outside and everything is quiet. Suddenly, a flicker of light in the sky grabs your attention. Pale and modest at first, soon intense and vibrant, transforming the dark sky into a mighty display of nature’s power. It’s hypnotic and impossible to ignore. But perhaps strangest of all: There is complete silence, while cascades of green, yellow, violet and red dance across the sky in silent harmony. It is like a mighty symphonic ballet with muted sound.�
