Just as a reminder, if you are using a travel agent, they most likely will recomend Viking or some other river cruise line for GRAND CIRCLE does not use or employ Travel Agents to sell their products. Do not let that stop you from considering Grand Circle. WE have used them before and in fact just completed (April 2014) a 23 day trip to Southern Africa with OAT which is Grand Circles Adventure land operation...... all without the services of a travel agent. The GC/OAT people were great in accomodating our needs to include pre/post trips and air accomodations.

BTW: Grand Circle as well as OAT caters primarily to Americans.Tour guides have always been first class and food much better than average.

If anyone is interested please send me a PM and I will go in more detail and even send you a code you can provide Grand Circle that will give you and your travelling companions $100 each off your first cruise with Grand Circle or OAT travel.

We are currently looking into the Great Rivers of Europe for travel in fall of 2015.
