Exclusive Vacation Vignettes

Agentnet Vacation Vignettes schedule will be it largest ever, including 160 departures -- 38 percent more than 2009’s collection -- on preferred cruise suppliers to destinations worldwide.

Each voyage includes the services of a concierge host, a “Bon Voyage” cocktail reception and a private shore event on itineraries from Holland America Line, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and Viking River Cruises.

The 2010 schedule differs from previous years due to a greater number of extended itineraries, which were requested by member agents. In response, the new schedule includes 19 voyages of 30 or more days, such as a 30-night South America cruise with Regent Silver Seas and numerous world cruises with Holland America.

Typically a Vacation Vignettes departure features one exclusive shore excursion per voyage that is not offered to other passengers. Examples of past excursions include a St. Petersburg Canal Cruise and Vodka Tasting and a walking tour of Gaudi’s Barcelona. On 2010’s extended Vacation Vignettes departures, clients will receive as many as five exclusive shore events per sailing.

Vacation Vignettes falls under agentnets Cruise Groups Plus banner, which includes Amenity Departure Dates, its amenity-enhanced group space program; and Pre & Post Cruise Solutions, which offers 13 to 15 percent commissions on private transfers, hotels and sightseeing tours at more than 40 of the world’s most popular sea ports.
