You Save Because We Sell Directly To You!

How does Vantage compete with other deluxe travel companies? The answer is, Vantage sells directly to you, and through our worldwide regional offices, we buy directly from our vendors with no middleman. Here's what that means for you:

• As a consumer, you buy directly from Vantage via catalog or Internet, and not through a travel agent, thereby eliminating a 10-20% agent commission saving you $2,400 or more per couple!
• We buy directly from our vendors worldwide resulting in substantial savings passed on to you.
• Exclusive charters on riverboats & small ships enable us to control prices, as well as quality.
• We INCLUDE roundtrip International Airfare (on most programs) from up to 25 U.S. cities, saving you thousands.
• We offer single-friendly prices from only 25% on European riverboats, and land escorted tour supplements are at our cost. Or, avoid the single supplement with our roommate matching program.
