Small but impactful? The 'Emerald Sakara' and Palma's intermediate format

Answer

What makes a small cruise ship in Palma different from a large cruise liner?

A smaller ship usually brings fewer passengers, a quieter arrival and less immediate pressure on the promenade and port area. In Palma, that can mean a more subdued atmosphere, but the real impact depends on how long guests stay, where they go and how services are managed.
