Vantage Deluxe World Travel Launches ms River
Discovery
March 15th Marks Maiden Voyage of Exquisite New Vessel
BOSTON (March 15, 2007) - Today in Amsterdam, Vantage Deluxe World Travel
launched the newest and finest addition to its river cruise fleet, the ms
River Discovery. The 360-foot riverboat boasts staterooms
with french balconies, more Junior Suites than any comparable ship,
cutting-edge technology, and a luxurious Owner's Suite with a well stocked
mini-bar and a Jacuzzi bath.
"It is magnificent and will undoubtedly be the premier vessel anywhere on the
European rivers," said David Gevanthor, Executive Vice President of
Vantage. "We are committed to delivering luxury and amenities that rival
ocean cruises, but with the intimacy and 'up close and personal' experience
that a small ship affords."
Cabins on the ms River Discovery have been designed with taste
and comfort in mind. Twin beds in all the cabins can be combined into a
double bed (queen in the Owner's Suite), and other cabin amenities include a
flat-screen TV with in-room movies and CNN, and a private bathroom with a
shower. Innovative French balconies in more than 80 percent of the cabins
offer floor to ceiling window views
Among the design innovations is the addition of a forward observation deck that
offers a unique perspective of the European countryside. There are two
lounges, including the new Discovery Lounge located aft on the Navigator
Deck. Wireless Internet connection in cabins and in all public areas
makes sharing photos and travel notes with friends convenient and easy.
The ms River Discovery is the fourth vessel in Vantage's riverboat
fleet. Vantage maintains an industry-leading service with a 4:1
guest-to-staff ratio. As with all other Vantage river cruises, trips on ms
River Discovery are all-inclusive, with sightseeing, entertainment,
most meals, and international airfare included. In addition, four dedicated
program directors with local expertise accompany each trip.
The ms River Discovery has capacity for 166 passengers and 42 crew
members. Its maiden voyage goes roundtrip from Amsterdam and visits the Dutch
Waterways. Details are available at www.vantagetravel.com/dfm07.
