AdventureSmith Explorations Announces Roster of Holiday 2013 Small Ship Cruises

July 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Tahoe City, CA,  – The active travel company securing matches between adventure-seeking clients and a treasure trove of small expedition ships, AdventureSmith Explorations, flags the 2013 Holiday Season with active cruises from the Antarctic Peninsula to Panama. While festivities aboard vessel will differ, guests will enjoy special seasonal events and celebrations aboard intimate ships ranging in capacity from 36 to 189 people.

“While our small-ship destinations in and of themselves are reason enough for celebration, guests will doubtless toast the season while sharing the day’s snorkeling thrills or on-ice escapades,” says Todd Smith, AdventureSmith Explorations (http://www.adventuresmithexplorations.com/) founder / owner. He noted that trips just before and right after the holiday season come with “terrific discounts” and better availability (Smith recommends making your holiday season cruise bookings now).

Unlike most larger mega ships that often charge extra for shore excursions, guests on small expedition ships enjoy multi-activity programs on land at no extra charge.
