About Cruise Smaller

Cruise Smaller has been created for travellers who believe the best cruise experiences are not always found on the biggest ships.

Owned and operated by the team behind Sun Island Tours, Cruise Smaller brings more than 35 years of travel experience, trusted industry relationships and destination knowledge to the world of small ship cruising.

Sun Island Tours has long been recognised as a Mediterranean specialist, with deep expertise across Greece, Croatia, Italy, Turkey and the wider region. Over the years, we have developed close relationships with a range of boutique cruise companies and gained a genuine understanding of their ships, itineraries and the experiences they offer.

We launched Cruise Smaller to give small ship cruising the dedicated attention it deserves—and to showcase cruise companies we know well, trust and are confident recommending.

Our boutique approach makes us the perfect fit for this style of travel. We understand that choosing a small ship cruise is not simply about finding an itinerary. It is about matching each traveller with the right ship, atmosphere, destination and experience.

While our knowledge was built in the Mediterranean, our vision for Cruise Smaller reaches much further. We wanted to take everything we love about small ship cruising and bring together a carefully selected range of experiences from around the world.

From hidden Mediterranean harbours and remote islands to rivers, coastlines and expedition destinations, Cruise Smaller is your gateway to discovering the world aboard smaller ships.
