Why O . A . T . Small Ships ?
Small groups of 20-25 travelers maximum ( average of 22 )
DESIGNED WITH SMALL GROUPS IN MIND
Our Small Ship Adventures and Expeditions have been carefully crafted to reap the benefits of traveling in our small groups of 20-25 travelers ( average of 22 ), offering a balance of daily discoveries and people-to-people interactions with the flexibility to go off on your own at times for independent exploring .
COME ABOARD FOR IMMERSIVE DISCOVERIES
When you join an O . A . T . Small Ship Adventure , you ’ ll get to explore more of the world . The size of our small ships allows us to slip into more remote harbors and intimate-sized ports , places the big cruise ships can only dream of reaching . From visiting private homes to engaging with local fishermen at small out-of-the-way ports , we won ’ t just explore a destination , we ’ ll experience it .
