Experience the Ease of Shipboard Life


Just unpack, hang up your belongings, and make yourself at home while the world comes to you — the pleasures of exploring by ship need little introduction. T is carefree style of travel lets you relax with friends or get to know your shipmates over a cocktail or game of cards. You can grab a deck chair to watch the scenery go by. And when you arrive at your destination, things to do and see often await right at the end of the ship’s ramp.


For 2011, Vantage presents its most extensive


collection ever of river and small ship cruises. You’ll fi nd vessels to tempt any traveler, from Deluxe ships that cruise the Nile and the Yangtze to a Mediterranean sailing ship reserved exclusively for Vantage travelers. Each has been carefully selected to provide you with a fun, relaxing shipboard experience.


Because smaller vessels go where big ocean cruise


ships cannot go, they off er an intimate, up-close itinerary, docking at smaller cities and towns, visiting hidden harbors, wending among islands, and getting close to nature. You won’t fi nd casinos or glitzy reviews on smaller ships or river boats, but you will often fi nd local musicians and singers, folk dancers, and demonstrations by craftsmen and artists. Join us, and you’ll soon see why so many travelers join Vantage for this rewarding style of travel.
