The small ships are a more personal experience in that you will see many of the same people several times on a voyage unlike even Celebrity with the Millenium Class ships which are their smallest. You will feel like you are on a ship but in a good way unless you yearn for the ships that feel more like a mall.

We sailed on the Vista for 16 days in Nov of 2023. Loved the ship and everything about it. You will have a fantastic time!

Does anyone know where and if they shuttle you in Cartagena, Colombia? thanks, Rodan

Until the US allows its citizens to return from overseas without needing a test or if tested and positive allows you to come home within a few days instead of the present 10 days minimum then no cruising for us outside of US ports. We are in our 70s and decided to take the financial hit 2 days before we were to fly to Europe to do a week of land then 17 days on the Riviera. We would have been tested 4 different times minimum and if one of those was positive and not on the ship we would be at the mercy of a hotel for 10 days or more. It gets very complicated and not worth the hell you will go thru if stuck in Europe or any foreign country.
