Variety Cruises Named #6 Best Intimate-Ship Cruise Line in the 2026 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards

We are beyond honored and excited to announce that, for yet another year, we have been recognized among the TOP 10 Best Intimate-Ship Ocean Cruise Lines in Travel + Leisure’s 2026 World’s Best Awards.

A heartfelt thank you to all our guests, partners, and supporters who voted for us! ❤️

Your trust and support inspire us to keep creating meaningful journeys, authentic connections and unforgettable moments at sea.

We are also deeply grateful to our incredible crew and team, whose passion, dedication, and commitment go above and beyond every day to deliver exceptional experiences for our guests.

Small Ships, Meaningful Journeys

At Variety Cruises, we believe that small is our luxury. Our intimate ships allow us to offer a more personal way to explore the world, with fewer guests, a welcoming atmosphere, and the opportunity to discover destinations beyond the ordinary.

From the Greek islands and the Mediterranean to the Seychelles, French Polynesia and Cape Verde, our small-ship cruises are designed to take travelers closer to the places they visit while creating genuine connections along the way.

Being recognized by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2026 reinforces our belief that intimate cruising can offer something truly special: a more authentic, personal and immersive way to travel.

A Thank You to Our Crew and Team

This recognition would not be possible without our incredible crew and team. Their passion, dedication and commitment go above and beyond every day to create exceptional experiences for our guests.

From the moment guests step on board, it is their warmth, care and attention to detail that make each journey memorable. They are at the heart of the Variety Cruises experience, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they do.

Thank You for Sailing With Us

To our guests, travel partners, crew and entire Variety Cruises family: thank you.

Being named #6 Best Intimate-Ship Ocean Cruise Line in the 2026 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards is an achievement we are proud to celebrate with all of you.

We look forward to welcoming you on board and continuing to create extraordinary journeys, one small ship at a time.

Small is our luxury™
