The best values in ocean cruise vacations — made even better with Vantage extras!

When you reserve your cruise with Vantage, you enjoy the lowest fares in the marketplace, thanks to our buying power and strong relationships with the world's leading cruise lines. In fact, you'll always pay less than retail prices on our cruise ship vacations — and you'll enjoy Vantage extras, like the services of a professional Program Manager (with 20 passengers or more), transfers, baggage handling, a private cocktail party on ship, and more.

What to expect

We've made it our mission to ensure that when you choose one of our cruise vacations you'll get the most for your travel dollar. And we're confident that you'll be delighted with all the amenities you'll receive. However, because we are able to obtain ocean cruises at values not available to most travellers, certain factors may be different. For example, while Vantage will note your cabin and dining preference, the ultimate assignments will come directly from the cruise line.

Superior Hotels, Great Locations

Virtually every one of Vantage's cruise ship vacations includes FREE nights in a hotel before or after your cruise — sometimes both! These hotels offer the best blend of quality and location, rated First-Class or higher by the Hotel and Travel Index.

Cunard Line

Relive the grand days of seagoing luxury aboard Cunard Line. In January 2004, Cunard launched Queen Mary 2, the most eagerly awaited ship in the history of ocean cruises. She's the longest, tallest, most expensive ship ever built. You're invited to be on board for the Queen's second season of cruising. With the world's first planetarium and Canyon Ranch SpaClub at sea, she's making history — and so will you, if you're aboard! And, because Vantage is the top travel company for QM2 in 2004, our customers receive values available to no one else!

Holland America Line

If cruise ship vacations are your preffered mode of travel, choose Holland America Line and you'll enjoy premium ships that excel in service, amenities, and special programs. Features include one of the highest staff-to-passenger ratios and staterooms that average 25% larger than other lines. Among other honors, Holland America is winner of the World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society's "Best Overall Cruise Value" for the 10th straight year, and top premium cruise line in the 2003 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. Holland America Line has now embarked on a "Signature of Excellence" initiative providing product and service enhancements throughout their fleet. It is scheduled o be complete by the end of 2006.

Norwegian Cruise Line

For the bargain hunter, NCL's ships offer cruises at affordable prices, with good service and a choice of exciting itineraries. The innovative Freestyle Cruising policy lets you enjoy a choice of restaurants, and dine when and where you desire. Or, you can choose a special Vantage dinner seating in the main dining room. And with almost one crew member per stateroom you'll be well taken care of.

The Paul Gauguin

Sailing on Tahitian voyages, the Paul Gauguin is an extension of the informal, relaxing environment of Polynesia. With American attention to luxury and comfort and a French flair for casual sophistication, the ship radiates warmth, informality, and openness. Here, the constraints of formal wear, tuxedos, and ties are forgotten and the only dress code is relaxation. Come aboard and enjoy a whole new world of luxurious small ship cruising, with all the features that you've come to expect from Vantage Deluxe World Travel.
