What We Offer

River Cruises

Travelers can sit back and enjoy the ride on our fleet of deluxe river ships. From the storied waterways of Europe to the treasures along the ancient Nile River in Egypt, our river cruises offer an array of accommodations, including custom-built solo cabins, superior cuisine and amenities, and hands-on cultural enrichment.

Ocean Cruises

Aboard our small ship cruises, travelers call on intriguing new ports and nations from Asia to Antarctica. Our intimate ships, including the Ocean Explorer and Ocean Odyssey, offer an authentic sailing experience, luxury amenities, and immersive Cultural Discoveries, including onboard performances, culinary classes, informative lectures, and more.

Small Group Land Adventures & Safaris

Vantage got its start in 1983 by offering tours to Australia and New Zealand. In the decades that followed, we’ve brought travelers to Africa, Asia, North and South Americas, and Europe on unforgettable small group land adventures and safaris. On select African adventures, our travelers enjoy Vantage-exclusive accommodations, such as the luxurious Iganyana Tented Camp and The Wallow, both located on private concessions inside two esteemed national parks.

Expedition Cruises

Sometimes the road less traveled involves a small ship! And sometimes the journey turns out to be an expedition. Whether trekking Iceland, Norway, Greenland, or Antarctica, our expedition cruises are led by an experienced and hands-on Expedition Team in some of the world’s most rugged and remote corners.
