Dear Travelers,

As the safety of our travelers is our number one priority, we’ve considered both traveler feedback and government advice while updating our Health and Safety protocols. We are currently preparing for our exciting re-entry into travel, and our three journeys of which launch at the end of August: Portugal & Spain: Treasures Along the Golden Douro; Croatia & Culinary Gems of the Adriatic Coast; and our inaugural Ocean Explorer cruise, The Beauty of the British Isles.

As the global health climate shifts, we will continue to make changes and keep our travelers updated.

Vaccination & testing requirements for ALL 2021 Vantage journeys including small ship cruises, river cruises, and land adventures

• All travelers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure. Bring your Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card, which should display your name, vaccine type, and the dates each dose was administered. We also recommend keeping a picture of it on your phone if it is lost or damaged. Travelers who arrive at their destination without proof of vaccination will be required to return home at their own expense.
• All crew members, Cruise Directors, Program Managers, and tour leaders will be fully vaccinated, ensuring traveler safety while interacting with Vantage staff both on board and onshore.
• Travelers will be required to fill out a pre-trip health screening prior to departure. Print or download this form, complete it, and bring it with you on your journey.
• Travelers who have tested positive for COVID-19 30 days prior to departure, or who have been exposed to COVID-19 14 days prior to departure, will not be permitted to travel with Vantage. Travelers who’ve tested positive or who’ve been exposed to COVID-19 who are booked an upcoming journey should call Vantage to discuss their options.

Specific entry requirements for your chosen destination

To ensure that you have a smooth travel experience, you will need to know the requirements for both your specific airline carrier and the country you’ll arrive in prior to your departure. We’ve listed some considerations below to help you plan.

• Entry into most countries will require you to show proof of a negative PCR COVID-19 test. For country-specific information about entry requirements and COVID-19 status, visit the U.S. Department’s COVID-19 Country Specific Information page.
• Vantage will facilitate onsite PCR tests for border crossings and re-entry into the United States. Travelers will be responsible for the cost of testing.
• We highly recommend that you contact your air carrier prior to departure to confirm what their requirements are for take-off and landing

Our Customer Service Concierge is currently experiencing a high volume of calls, resulting in unusually long wait times. If your departure is outside of the next 60 days, we ask that you email customercare@vantagetravel.com. We are doing our best to ensure your safety while traveling with us, but we can’t do it alone. Let’s work together to create a safer travel experience for everyone.

Thank you for entrusting Vantage with your travel dreams. We appreciate your ongoing understanding in this challenging time.

Happy Travels,

Dear Travelers,

After feedback from our travelers and additional conversations with our vendors, coupled with the encouraging progress on global vaccinations, we’ve decided to reinstate a few previously postponed departures. 

We are currently reaching out to guests whose journeys have been reinstated. You can always log in to My Portfolio and review your journey details. However, we ask that you please do not call Vantage at this time. Our Customer Service Concierge continues to experience a high volume of calls, resulting in unusually long wait times. 

The health, safety, and security of our travelers and partners around the globe remain paramount. Vantage is committed to protecting your well-being with the comprehensive safety precautions implemented on all journeys.

Dear Traveler,

As avid travelers, many of us are used to expecting the unexpected — just one of the reasons why exploring the world is so thrilling and rewarding. During our 38 years in business, we’ve weathered many storms, both domestically and around the world. Even so, 2021 has thrown some curveballs our way and we recognize the need to again postpone our journeys through August 25th.

Why? As countries vaccinate and recover from the disruption that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, all of us here at Vantage want to make sure we live up to our promise to deliver you transformational experiences at the best value and in unforgettable deluxe accommodations. But that takes time. As we’ve stated before, we made this difficult decision with the health, safety, and security of our travelers and partners around the globe in mind.

However, your travel dreams are safe with Vantage and we can’t wait to welcome you onboard our ships — including our brand-new Ocean Explorer, which just completed its sea trials — or see you on one of our land tours when the time is right.

We are currently in the process of reaching out to impacted travelers. However, we ask that you please do not call Vantage at this time.

Our Customer Service Concierge continues to experience a high volume of calls, resulting in unusually long wait times, and we are prioritizing impacted guests. If your departure is outside of the next 60 days, we ask that you email customercare@vantagetravel.com or check My Portfolio for travel alerts or to make a payment..

Dear Traveler,

With the exception of America’s Magnificent National Parks and Trans-Canada Rail Adventure & the Rockies, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone all journeys through June 1, along with some additional departures beyond June 2021.

As always, we made this decision with the health, safety, and security of our travelers and partners around the globe in mind.

We are currently notifying impacted travelers. Please note that our Customer Service Concierge continues to experience a high volume of calls, resulting in unusually long wait times.

An update from Vantage Founder & Chairman Henry R. Lewis

Dear Traveler,

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost a year since the Covid-19 pandemic effectively halted our lives and brought travel to a standstill. With vaccinations now underway, there’s much to be optimistic about — however, the travel industry is still feeling ripple effects from Covid-19.

Here at Vantage, we wanted you to know that the health, safety, and security of our travelers and partners around the globe continue to be our first priority. That’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our journeys through May 1, 2021. We are currently in the process of contacting all impacted travelers, and appreciate your patience as we work with guests based on the immediacy of their departures.

Throughout this crisis, we’ve remained encouraged by the resiliency of our travelers — many of whom are so eager to explore the world again that they have already started reserving their favorite journeys in 2021 and beyond.

Please make no mistake — the travel industry will bounce back, as it has numerous times before. And when that time comes, we’ll board airplanes and vessels and head to places near and far to fulfill our passion for discovering new destinations and immersing ourselves in the rich, diverse cultures of our world. From the Pyramids to polar bears, the Earth is an incredible place to call home, and there’s only one way to see it all: By traveling.

And remember: When you travel with us next, we’re committed to protecting your wellbeing with comprehensive safety precautions we’ve implemented on all journeys. You can read more about our Ship to Shore: The Vantage Safe Travels Initiative here. Also, we’ve just extended our Book with Confidence policy to cover all journeys reserved through February 24, 2021.

Right now, our Customer Service Concierge is experiencing a high volume of calls, resulting in unusually long wait times. If your departure is outside of the next 60 days, we ask that you email customercare@vantagetravel.com or, when available, contact us via the chat function on our homepage. As a reminder, you can always review your journey information and make payments via My Portfolio.

Thank you for your ongoing understanding and loyalty.

An update from Vantage Founder & Chairman Henry R. Lewis

Dear Traveler,

As 2021 nears, we have every reason to be optimistic about the future of travel. Earlier this year when we postponed our journeys, we made that decision with the health of our travelers and dedicated associates in mind.

During that time, we took several actions: We created a comprehensive safety plan to ensure the health of our travelers and associates around the globe when we resume traveling again. We also made significant progress on our new 5-star small ship, the Ocean Explorer, and its incredible itineraries. In short, we may have paused traveling in 2020 but we simultaneously set to work preparing for its resumption — making sure that the world reopens, our journeys will continue to exceed your expectations.

Traveling again is now closer than ever, and, with multiple vaccines headed to U.S. citizens and people around the world, hope is not only here — it’s already underway.

But the world’s recovery from COVID-19 will still take time, and the ability to travel freely across borders is months away. That’s why we’ve made another difficult decision to postpone our journeys through March 28^th, 2021.

The impact to our 2021 travelers is small — if you are one of these travelers, we are currently in the process of reaching out to you. Perhaps you’ve already even heard from us. Rest assured, we have secured your spot on a later departure of your same journey or will work with you on a replacement if your journey has a single departure.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I know many of you are ready to get back out there and continue your explorations. Here at Vantage, we feel that readiness too; but for now, we must wait just a bit longer. 

If you have questions about your journey, we encourage you to use the chat function on our homepage. You can always email us at customercare@vantagetravel.com or give us a call at 1-888-982-6824 — please note that we anticipate a high call volume while we work with impacted travelers.

Thank you again for your ongoing loyalty to Vantage. We look forward to traveling with you in 2021 and beyond.

An update from Vantage Founder & Chairman Henry R. Lewis

Dear Traveler,

As you know, the global COVID-19 pandemic has made travel very tricky. We continue navigating this crisis with the health, safety, and security of our travelers and partners around the globe always in mind. It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve made the difficult decision to extend the postponement of all journeys through December 31, 2020.

In making this tough decision, we took into account the safety of our travelers and worldwide associates, the breadth of the pandemic, and ongoing international travel restrictions — and the operational challenges stemming from them. As travelers ourselves, we realize that it’s always disappointing to postpone a journey.

In our 36 years, we’ve prided ourselves on delivering outstanding and unforgettable journeys to our travelers. To say that the current travel climate is not ideal for the level of service, cultural immersion, and quality that we’re known for is an understatement. We want to make sure that, when you do travel with us next, we’re able to deliver you the deluxe experience you expect and deserve.

At the moment, we’re hard at work contacting all impacted travelers and rescheduling their journeys. If you are one of these travelers, you’ve likely already received an email from us about your 2020 journey. If you haven’t heard from us yet, you will shortly. Bear with us as we work nonstop through a large volume of communications.

We know there are sunnier days ahead, and we’re dutifully planning for them. Silver linings are more important than ever right now, and here are a few:

• We recently announced our Ship to Shore: The Vantage Safe Travels Initiative, which details all the measures we’re taking to keep you safe whenever you travel with us
• We’ve extended our enhanced Book with Confidence policy to ensure our travelers enjoy the most flexibility during this challenging time
• We recently announced new 2021 North American journeys by land and small ship
• Next year, we look forward to the debut of our new 5-star Ocean Explorer, followed by its sister ship Ocean Odyssey in 2022. Click here for additional information

I apologize for the inconvenience this might’ve caused. Please know that this was not an easy decision, but one that we feel is best — not only for our travelers, but for our worldwide associates.

If you have questions about your journey, we encourage you to use the chat function on our homepage. You can always email us at customercare@vantagetravel.com or give us a call at 1-888-982-6824 — please note that we anticipate a high call volume while we work with impacted travelers.

Now, with the European Union’s new travel restrictions barring entrance for American travelers, we’re updating you once more.

Fortunately, this temporary ban has no immediate impact on Vantage journeys, which are currently suspended through August 14. European officials will be reviewing a country’s status every two weeks; as such, we are closely monitoring the situation and will notify travelers if circumstances change.

Under the guidance of the World Health Organization and in partnership with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, River Advice — the leading independent global manager of ships on inland waterways — as well as local governments, we’ve implemented Ship to Shore: The Vantage Safe Travels Initiative.

The ability to deliver travel experiences is an evolving situation, one based on local government regulations and public health protocols. Since temporarily suspending operations on March 11, we’ve remained hard at work to keep up with developments across the globe while making decisions that best serve our travelers and our worldwide associates. We are a deluxe travel company trying to navigate a world in which we cannot travel right now, which impacts not only our journeys, but the thousands of hardworking, dedicated people who make them possible.

Now, under the guidance of the World Health Organization and regional local health authorities, we’re creating new health and safety protocols so that your health, safety, and security continue to be our top priority once we start traveling again.

With the safety of our travelers in mind and to accommodate the changes the ongoing global health crisis demands, we’ve made the difficult decision to extend the postponement of our journeys through August 14, 2020.

Additionally, due to new country-specific travel restrictions, we must postpone our African journeys through September 1. All China and Mongolia journeys must be postponed until 2021.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU IS UNWAVERING

The world is facing unprecedented times with COVID-19. We’re all enduring a lot as we make crucial adjustments to our everyday lives, including social distancing from loved ones and halting unnecessary travel. To that end, we have made the decision to extend our temporary suspension of all journeys through May 24, 2020.

We are deeply appreciative of your understanding as we navigate an ever-changing situation — and acknowledge your disappointment if your journey with us has been affected.

Since our original announcement on March 11, we have worked tirelessly with our travelers to move their departure dates. If your departure date falls within our new window of suspended journeys, we will soon be reaching out to you to reschedule your departure with a Future Travel Credit valued at 110% of the monies paid to Vantage, which can be applied to any 2020 or 2021 departure. By adding increased value, you’ll have new opportunities to upgrade your airfare or cabin class, add an optional pre- or post-trip extension, purchase optional tours, and more. You’ll have 12 months from your original departure date to utilize your Future Travel Credit.

Please note: We appreciate your patience while we contact impacted travelers. If your journey was scheduled to depart on or before May 24, 2020, please call 1-888-514-7617 to reschedule your journey or to review your options.

Although we’re unable to travel at the moment, let us remember that it’s for a good reason. The health, safety, and security of our guests, employees, and overseas partners remain our first priority — now and always. We thank you for your continued support.

WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW

Taking care of you
Your health, safety, and security are paramount. We continue to monitor travel and health advisories from the World Health Organization and the U.S. State Department, while communicating with our overseas offices and vendors to protect the health and safety of our staff, crew, and partners worldwide.

Navigating these unchartered waters — together
If you’ve reached out to us lately, you may have experienced longer than normal hold times, since we’re working with impacted travelers to reschedule their journeys. We’ve also shifted our email communications to give you more opportunities for “armchair travel” — or, exploring a destination virtually. Just because we can’t travel the way we prefer doesn’t mean we can’t travel from the comfort of our own homes.

A big thank you, from us
The news may change every day, but our commitment to you does not. Right now, we are so grateful for your loyalty, flexibility, and understanding. We’re also endlessly appreciative of all the essential employees out there — from doctors and nurses to grocery clerks and postal workers and all other essential personnel. However small it may seem at the moment, spring has arrived in the U.S. — a gentle but poignant reminder that hope springs eternal.
