With Vantage's SmartPay Discount Plan^SM Plan, the sooner you pay, the more you save! You'll not only save - but you'll lock in the price of your trip as well. The price of the land, cruise and international airfare portions of your journey will be protected from "surprise" increases later.

Depending how far in advance you pay - you'll earn a generous per person discount ... the equivalent of up to 10% annualized tax-free interest on the cost of escorted land tours and European River Cruises (up to 8% on ocean cruises).

The SmartPay Discount Plan^SM is based on the number of days you pay in full before the regular final payment due date. That means you'll receive the maximum discount by paying 12 months before your regular final payment is due. Depending on the type of cruise or tour you take, the final payment due date is generally 90 or 120 days prior to departure.

EXAMPLE:

Let's say you reserve a Vantage European River Cruise departing on October 31, 2007 and your final payment - due August 2, 2007 - is $4000. (After your deposit has been deducted and all supplements have been calculated).

Here's what you can save on your $4000 final payment:

• If you pay in full by August 2, 2006
  (12 months prior to your final payment due date) you will receive
  a cash discount of $400, or a savings of 10%.
  
• If you pay in full by November 2, 2006
  (9 months prior to your final payment due date) you will receive
  a cash discount of $300, or a savings of 7.5%.
  
• If you pay in full by February 2, 2007
  (6 months prior to your final payment due date) you will receive
  a cash discount of $200, or a savings of 5%.

In essence, the Plan takes effect as soon as your final payment is received - and is prorated on a daily basis. So the earlier you pay, the greater your discount.

Please note: This Discount Plan does not apply to payments received within your final payment due date period and does not apply when making final payment by credit card. You are required to "Pay In Full" via check or money order.
