Your goal is to explore off-the-beaten-path places.
Big ships have to dock at big—usually industrial—piers; small ships can access small, charming ports, and they tend to stay longer and dock closer to town, giving you more time to explore. There are no crowds to beat, so you can see places at their most pleasant and authentic. When my husband and I sailed on Windstar Cruises’ 148-passenger Wind Star to Mediterranean islands that we might otherwise never get to—Cephalonia, Corsica, Elba, and the like—we stepped off the ship into fishing villages where we could rent a bike or car right at the pier and take off on our own.

A small ship can also turn a been-there-done-that part of the world into a new frontier: When you’re on a ship like the 208-passenger Seabourn Pride sailing in the British Virgin Islands or the Grenadines, you see an entirely different Caribbean than when you’re on a megaship sailing to St. Thomas or Cozumel.
