If you're hesitant to take a cruise for the first time or were left with a bad taste in your mouth after your most recent experience, consider booking a unique journey with Beyond Cruises by GroupIST.

The cruise line's impressive fleet of 11 mega yachts and motor sailers provides comfortable quarters and well-furnished common areas as well as rare onboard experiences like on-deck barbecues to complement special programs combining cultural and experiential tours.

Here are five reasons why you'll be thankful you sailed with Beyond Cruises:

No Crowds

Beyond Cruises' small ship cruising vessels mean added comforts and more personal attention that you wouldn't receive on a traditional cruise because of the sheer volume of passengers.

Guests don't have to worry about standing in long lines when it comes time to get on or off the ship nor will they have to battle thousands of other passengers at the attractions and souvenir shops when they arrive in port.

The Destinations

Beyond Cruises' small ships serve cruise destinations all over the globe, including coveted places such as Cuba, Greece, Iceland, Dubai, the Adriatic Sea, the Seychelles, Kenya and more.

Plus, the size of the pioneering cruise line's ships allows passengers to access smaller ports that larger ships cannot.

More Time Where You Want to Be

If one of your dislikes about cruising is spending more time on the ship than in your favorite destination, Beyond Cruises is the answer.

Guests will have ample time to discover the true identity of their destination and will benefit from the knowledge and expertise of cruise directors and expert guides who are often native to the destinations passengers are visiting.

No Extra Charges

Since most shore activities are included in their voyage, guests don't have to stress over extra charges for every excursion blowing up their budget along the way.

Right now, travelers can also take advantage of savings of over $1,700 on select 2019 Cuba sailings.

Responsible Tourism

Since Beyond Cruises practices responsible tourism and nature conservancy, guests can travel guilt-free knowing they aren't contributing to waste in the ocean nor in their destinations.

What's more, the cruise line's vessels do not damage coral reefs nor natural sea life while its program managers ensure passengers don't trample, burn or leave garbage in parks, wetlands or any other preserved areas.
