INTIMATE SHIPS



A hundred people may not be your idea of "intimate," but it's barely a crowd to the cruise industry. Carrying 100-250 people, intimate ships usually provide a setting for making friends in close, casual quarters. Small and maneuverable, such vessels can carry you on extraordinary adventures: a real sailing trek, as canvas sails flap in the wind; or an expedition to Antarctica and other remote destinations.
