Intimate ocean liners are able to visit the most exclusive destinations Ships in the ultra-luxury class are specifically designed for fewer guests and more space and vary from the larger Crystal Cruises ships accommodating 1,000 guests to the mid-size vessels of Regent Seven Seas and Silversea, which carry between 300 and 700 guests; and the small boutique yachts of Seabourn, which accommodate around 200 passengers.

The ultra-luxury cruise ships tend to be smaller, their intimate size allowing them to slip into more exotic and exclusive ports that the larger mainstream liners simply cannot get to. The ultra-luxury ships do however incorporate the same favourite amenities found on larger ships but more elaborate and stylish, such as a show lounge, casino, spa, swimming pool and state-of-the-art fitness facilities.
