Escorted Tour
AffordableTours.com offers escorted tours to all of your favorite countries around the world. Escorted tours normally include hotel stays, transportation, most meals, sightseeing and cultural activities.

People that enjoy escorted tours are travelers who don’t have time or the knowhow to plan an all-encompassing, multiday overseas trip, people who travel in luxury or like to save money, and people who like to see the must-see sites while also experiencing the local culture. Escorted tours range in group size, pace, and age, so there is an escorted tour for every type of traveler.

Small Ship Cruising
Small ship cruises take travelers to destinations that big ships cannot visit due to size restrictions, such as to the exotic Galapagos Islands, small ports along the Mediterranean and Adriatic and island hopping in Greece to name a few. Small ships are able to maneuver in small coves and channels, and can dock at more intimate ports, making for a fascinating travel experience. Small ship cruising is also perfect for travelers who want to visit bigger destinations, but want more personalized, one on one service onboard. While small ships might not feature the same activities on board, they do offer a relaxed and intimate experience for cruisers.
