The smallest ship I have cruised on was the old RCI Song Of America, 37,584 tons and max 1,575 passengers. Built in 19982 I cruised on her 12-15 1996 and 04-12-1998. She was the second ship I had been on.
I have great memories of cruising on her both times. On my bucket list is to go on her now as the Celestial Olympia for a Greek Island cruise.
Sailed on the Song of America in August of 83 for our honeymoon. Couldn't cruise again for 20 years but the best memories.
Probably the SS Meridan from Celebrity Cruises. This was my first cruise, and the ship was so small, it was considered an ocean liner. I still remember having to step over the threshold for entering the cabins!

Carnival Elation.
Looks like a number of American flagged small cruise lines may be able to come on line first. These are the ones that provide domestic river sailing and some Alaskan outings. 250 passenger or less.
I was on Sitmar's Fairwind in 1983. It was around 33,000 ton, but he smallest was RCL's Nordic Prince in 1982 which was 22,000 ton. I still love the smaller ships to this day.
Both Carnival Imagination and Inspiration. Both ships were built in the 90s and are around 70k Gross Ton.
Does a dinner cruise count? Took one of those while staying near Sydney Harbor AUS. About 100 people on the ship.
Two of the Fantasy Class ships and a third ship during the March 2022 for the 50th Sailabration.

It was a three-way between Carnival Fascination, Carnival Elation, and Carnival Ecstasy, until Elation added 38 new staterooms during its 2017 drydock.
