 | Discovery, Voyages of Discovery (Passenger/crew ratio: 1.7)
One of the original “Love Boats”, of the US TV show Love Boat, this is an older ship that offers interesting itineraries for well-travelled people who would hate to be on board one of the mega-liners offered by mass-market cruise companies.
Expert lecturers are on board.

 | MSC Melody, MSC Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.1)
Although the outside decking is generous, it can be quite noisy.
There are kids’ clubs and the pool is on both the outside and inside. Dining is Italian in style, but the entertainment is not up to much.
Serves South America and the eastern Mediterranean.

Old, small, yet original. This ship calls at unusual ports, such as Zanzibar and Mahe, and allows passengers to combine a cruise with an African safari (staying at hotels owned by African Safari Club).
The clientele is multi-cultural, although most passengers are German.
