I have never been a cruiser. Despite my love for the water, the thought of packing into what is essentially a giant floating hotel always made me queasy. Not to mention, I am also quite prone to seasickness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when my grandfather, who had spent most of his life working, raising his family and taking care of my ill grandmother, wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise, my family packed our warmest clothes and headed north. While I treasure the time I spent with my grandfather, the cruise itself was just for not me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I got the opportunity to go on an Adventure Cruise<\/a> in Greece<\/a> and Turkey<\/a>, I was a little sceptical, but I went anyways, and I\u2019m so glad I did. My 8-day cruise was immensely different from my previous cruising experience, not only because the weather and the scenery in the Mediterranean were a tad different than Alaska\u2019s, but because being on a small ship offered me the personal service and local experiences I just didn\u2019t get on a big ship. Here\u2019s how an Adventure Cruise turned me from a cruise-hater to a cruise-lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Alaskan cruise, many of our days were all about life on board. Whether it was taking in the on-board performances in the theatre or trying your luck at the casino, our only opportunities to see the country we were travelling in were the on-shore excursions, which usually occurred once per day for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my small ship Adventure Cruise tour, we only sailed at night. This meant we would wake up in port and could go on as many excursions as we pleased. Instead of long days on the water watching questionably good theatre, we spent our days ashore exploring quaint neighbourhoods under the guidance of our local leaders<\/a>, relaxing on beaches, visiting churches and trying local delicacies. And the only on-board entertainment came in the form of backgammon games and good books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to maximizing our time in port, being on a small ship meant that, unlike the big ships, we could pull right up to the small marinas. Travellers on ships that were too large to dock in port had to drop anchor further out and wait on water taxis to shuttle them to shore, whereas we could go ashore on foot, and come and go as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swim off the back of the boat<\/h2>\n\n\n

OK, so this one is not applicable to cruises in Alaska, but in general on large cruise ships, you\u2019ll have a swimming pool on board. But when you\u2019re cruising through the Greek islands, I can\u2019t see why anyone would want to use it. It must be awful to be constantly surrounded by the bluer than blue water of the Aegean Sea and not be able to dive right in. Our swim stop was one of my absolute highlights of the trip. The winds had picked up and we were told it might not happen (customer safety is always Intrepid’s first priority), but \u2013 most likely after seeing the distraught looks on my fellow travellers\u2019 faces \u2013 the crew found us a sheltered bay in which to drop anchor and swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know your trip is doing more good than harm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was cruising through the pristine waters up in Alaska, I couldn\u2019t help but feel guilty about the amount of waste and pollution the large cruise ship was inevitably creating. Adventure Cruising made me realize that it was, in fact, avoidable. The ships used are much smaller, there’s no single-use plastic on board and\u00a0Intrepid ensures 90% of the food is locally sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying that big cruise ships tend to have enormous buffets with a huge variety of choices, but I\u2019ll take a small amount of good food over a huge amount of mediocre food any day. Every day on board the Adventure Cruise, our chef and his crew would prepare delicious food. They made an effort to include at least one authentically Mediterranean dish in every meal, and since most of the ingredients are locally sourced, the flavours were fresh and authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, on my Alaskan cruise, I remember returning from an excursion in a fishing town where we toured an old salmon cannery and learned about fishing techniques. Then, at dinner, we sat down to a menu stating we\u2019d be enjoying Atlantic<\/em> salmon. In a salmon fishing village. In Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small means luxurious<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"adventure

Our ship, the Panorama II<\/a>, was more akin to a luxury yacht than a cruise ship. It was just big enough to feel like you had some privacy but small enough to feel cozy. The big cruise ship I was on had such useful areas as a basketball court, a casino and about 18 different bars all serving the same drinks. I can say with certainty that one bar, one lounge, two dining rooms and two sun decks on board the Adventure Cruise ship were more than enough. The staterooms were better than those on a traditional cruise ship as well. Despite being on the lower deck, my room had an actual porthole that let in natural light, a TV, a mini-fridge and a small but practical bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more luxurious than the facilities was the level of service we received. From the bartender who knew my name by the end of the first day (not sure if you want to read anything into that) to the server who knew that I needed at least five refills of our tiny coffee cups before I was ready to leave breakfast, I felt like the crew truly made an effort to get to know everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small also means customisable<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

\u201cWe have good news and bad news\u201d. Not exactly the first words you want to hear out of your leaders\u2019 mouths. The bad news? There were some heavy winds coming from the direction of Mykonos so we were going to have to alter our itinerary to accommodate that. The good news? Since we were a small ship, we had the freedom to change our course fairly easily, and our captain was going to ensure we had a trip that was safe, fun and would minimize seasickness. We put our trust in the captain and ended up only missing one of our scheduled stops. In return, we got a significantly less choppy and significantly more customized tour of the Greek islands, including two new islands that weren\u2019t originally included!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group was also able to customize our time on shore by breaking into smaller groups based on interest. For example, one day in Syros, one group wanted to hike to the church on the hill and the other took private taxi transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go solo<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

On traditional cruises, if you want to go solo<\/a>, you could be paying up to double the fare of someone travelling with a friend or partner. If a boat is the best way to see a place, this has long been a deterrent for solo travellers to take a cruise. On an Adventure Cruise, however, solo travellers have the option of not paying extra and sharing a room with another traveller of the same gender. But if you\u2019re the type that likes to walk around in your underwear or just needs some alone time, you have the option to pay a small single supplement to get your own room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my trip, about a third of us were solo travellers. The setup of the ship really worked for us, with a few small communal areas where it was easy to socialize, and no assigned seating at dinner so we could get to know all our fellow passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting aside the facilities, the staff, the ship and the food, perhaps the best part of taking an Adventure Cruise rather than a traditional cruise was the people. Although we ranged greatly in age (from late 20s to early 80s) and travel experience (from their first international trip to their third time visiting Greece), we all had that same spirit of adventure and wish to authentically experience a country. And exactly zero of us would have rather been sitting in an on-board casino all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
