HOLLAND AMERICA LINE. You can be assured of an exciting
time aboard Holland America Line’s newest vessel and first Signature-class
ship, the ms Eurodam when she embarks on a prelude cruise and maiden
voyage, departing July 2 from Rotterdam – the city where this 135-year-old
Dutch company was founded. In fact, the festivities will begin with the official
naming ceremony on July 1st, followed by the 3-day prelude cruise to Copenhagen
and Hamburg. (If we book you for this prelude cruise, you will have the opportunity
to attend the special naming ceremony as a pre-cruise excursion!) Next, this
magnificent ship will depart for a 10-day roundtrip maiden voyage from Copenhagen,
Denmark, July 5. The two cruises can be combined into a 13-day voyage. With one
more deck than Holland America Line’s 10-deck Vista-class ships, the Signature-class Eurodam will
feature staterooms with a distinctively simple yet elegant decor, and three alternative
dining venues including a new Pan-Asian restaurant with panoramic views. Other
additions are an Explorer's Lounge Bar, a new specialty restaurant adjacent to
the Lido offering fine Italian food, new atrium bar area, and an enhanced and
reconfigured show lounge with theater-style seating. Call us for more information
and ask about the special $100-per-guest discount applicable to the prelude and
maiden voyage.

OCEANIA
CRUISES.
As you consider “where in the world you want to go next,” let
us introduce you to one of our new travel partners: Oceania Cruises. Known
for its “distinctively different style of cruising,”
Oceania showcases three stunning, mid-sized ships that sail to
enticing destinations and “rarely seen boutique” ports, and is highly respected for its
affordable luxury, extraordinary cuisine, impeccable service, and “indulgent” amenities.
For 2008 – in addition to exotic destinations worldwide – European
destinations include the Baltic region, Black Sea, Greek Isles, Mediterranean,
Scandinavia and Russia, with overnight stays often included to ensure maximum
enjoyment at specific ports of call. Next . . . let’s go onboard . .
. as one of just a few hundred (rather than few thousand) guests, you can look
forward to many of the amenities and comforts you might expect from a larger
ship, yet presented with the charm, warmth and intimacy of a fine boutique
hotel. A casual country-club ambience prevails. No need for tuxedos and gowns.
Five-star dining is offered in a “dine when, where, and with whom you
prefer” format and you can choose from four gourmet venues. Popular onboard
activities include talks by 
famous guest lecturers, enrichment programs (such
as cooking classes and dance lessons), the enjoyment of live classical music
presented throughout the ship and the relaxation of the Oceania Spa by Mandara.
We think you will agree Oceania Cruises captures it all: Culture, history and
people, and brings it all to you in magnificent style of a “casual elegance
at sea.”
