Cruise ships these days are truly massive. Just this year, Royal Caribbean unveiled the Star Of The Seas family vacation cruise liner. With a capacity of 5,610 passengers, the vessel has a “population” larger than many small towns.

But bigger isn’t always better. Smaller ships can offer the same luxury but with more adventures to explore.
