When our longtime small ship cruise partners, Variety Cruises, shared their plans for a brand-new luxury yacht designed for intimate cruising in the sunny Adriatic, we quickly secured a limited number of departures for next spring. We then set out to create a truly unforgettable cruise experience. You’re invited to join us for this one-of-a-kind voyage, our 2012 President’s Italy & the Dalmatian Coast: A Private Yacht Experience.

We’ll be departing in May of 2012, first to Italy to explore Rome and the undiscovered Apulia region. Then, we embark the brand-new yacht, M/Y Variety Voyager, for our private voyage along the amazing picturesque Dalmatian Coast, sailing among tiny islands and calling at secret harbors and ancient port cities. At each port, we’ll tie up right at harborside for a full day and evening visit. No time-consuming tendering— just stroll off the ramp into the town. Throughout this extraordinary journey, you’ll enjoy included sightseeing and Cultural Connections, as well as a host of special extras that I consider Presidential, from shipboard cocktail parties to our President’s Gala event.

You may be aware that our Presidential events invariably sell out in short order and this one is no exception. Due to the overwhelming demand for this private sailing experience, we have added an additional departure for a total of four — May 7, 17, 21, and 31, 2012 — limited to 70 passengers per departure. After that, we can add no more.

Don't be disappointed. I can assure you — this will be a journey that you won't want to miss!

"Men wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success." 

 -Sir Ernest Shackleton

I still vividly remember reading the book Endurance for the first time years ago, and being so impacted by the story, the ordeal of the crew, the leadership under duress...and of course the imagery in my mind of the White Continent itself.  VantageTravel.com is fortunate enough to offer this once in a lifetime opportunity for our travelers to see what the crew of Endurance saw nearly 100 years ago.

Shackleton's Antarctica: An Exclusively Chartered Voyage Deception Island - Neko Harbor - Wilhelmina Bay - Antarctic Sound

For more than 15 years, fortunate travelers have been introduced to the natural wonders of Antarctica by Vantage. Even so, 2012 stands apart. This year Vantage will not only feature the MS Fram, the best small ship cruising Antarctic waters, but it will be chartered exclusively for Vantage travelers. What sets Vantage apart: Hurtigruten's onboard EXPEDITION TEAM of experts in geology, geography, and ornithology will present lectures and escort the group on shore!

"Experience Antarctica: One ot the highlights of this journey will be seeing the various species of penguins up close. Whatch these wonderful creatures as they interact with each other in their natural habitat. With a little luck, you mya even catch a glimpse of them moving effortlessly through the water as they search for their next meal!

Ignacio "Nacho" Eiras, on of the Program Managers on this journey, shares a few impresions:

I have been going to Antarctica for the past seven years and I never get tired of it. As you start to approach the White Continent you will see icebergs floating, then gorgeous scenery. The first sight of land might be an island which gets everybody all excited...imagine going ashore and conquering the seventh continent! The scenery is difficult to describe - glaciers all over, beautiful valleys, a place so full of life and pristine, so peaceful and quiet that you will feel like you have been transported to another world.
