Small-ship Vacations Are Making Big Waves With Travelers

Small-ship vacations are making big waves with travelers.

In fact, the Associated Press cited European river cruises, a popular type of small-ship travel, as one of the hot trends in travel today.

Defined as vessels with 400 or fewer passengers, small ships include river ships, barges, yachts, freighters, small ocean-faring ships and others. Accommodations and service vary from a six-star luxury yacht cruise to a no-frills vacation on a working coastal steamer.
