Cruise lines
These are the smallest ocean ships we book. They stop in smaller harbors, and an agent requests almost all of these fares.
A yacht in this group carries about 100 to 450 passengers. Windstar’s largest ships are about 340. Four Seasons I carries about 220.
Ranges are per person, two to a cabin. They move with the month and the cabin. On the large ships, taxes, port charges, and gratuities are usually extra. On river ships, expedition ships, luxury ships, and yachts, more of that is already in the fare.
SeaDream, the Ritz-Carlton yachts, and Four Seasons I are built around a marina and the water at the back of the ship. You can swim, use a paddleboard, or take a tender into a small harbor. There is a pool. There is no water park.
The restaurant list is short. Drinks and gratuities are included on the Ritz-Carlton yachts, Four Seasons I, and SeaDream. Windstar includes less. Most excursions are extra. You will not be choosing among fifteen restaurants.
These ships stop in town, or at anchor close to it. Tahiti on Windstar, and small Mediterranean harbors, are examples. You will know a large share of the other guests by the third day.
No theater lineup, no kids’ water park, and almost no published fare. If you want a show every night, or a cabin under $2,000, look at a larger ship.
Each card is one line. The table is on a wider screen.

These fares are for the ship. The fare during a holiday week, or for a suite, can be far above that range.
