Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

    • Pilbara’s cattle stations, red earth and mining communities are reminiscent of the sun-baked Australia much of the world imagines, and you’ll get to see it all firsthand.
    • Trek the trails of Karinjini National Park, weaving through its rocky gorges, and reward your efforts by taking a swim in the park’s ancient waterholes. This is living.

    I liked almost every aspect of the trip except for the 3 hour round trip to Kings Canyon - I believe it would be better if we had stayed there overnight instead of a long day trip!
    I also think that the combination of constant sunrise starts and late nights was a bit too much, it did not leave enough time for rest. Maybe one or two sunsets/sunrises would have been better!
    All the other aspects of the trip were amazing. I especially loved swimming in waterfalls and Kakadu National Park

    Amazing trip. Highly recommend doing all of the Free time add ons. The helicopter ride and segways were definetly buck list items. The guides on both of those were so friendly and helpful. The accomadation is not that great, but you spend so little time in your room that it doesn't really matter. Make sure to pack lots of suncreen, thongs for the shower and 2 lots of active wear as there are a couple of hikes. If you are lucky enough to get Cass as your guide you will have the best trip!

    Wij hebben 3 weken een fantastische cruise gehad met de Zuiderdam naar Noorwegen, IJsland, Schotland. Het eten was heerlijk, onze hut prima, 2 keer per dag schoongemaakt, zeer vriendelijk personeel, en goede service aan boord. Alleen 's avonds bij het diner soms in de rij staan, werd erg ingewikkeld via de computer gekeken waar je kon zitten, terwijl er genoeg ruimte was. Dit is een verbeterpunt. En het tenderen liep soms niet vlot. Maar volgende keer weer HAL.
