New for 2012, create the Grand Circle vacation that’s right for you. Now you’ll have the ability to customize your river cruise based on your individual travel preferences, including:
- Choosing a specific airline
- Selecting the most direct routes between your home city and destination
- Round-trip airport transfers available when you purchase your own airfare
- Upgrading to business or premium economy class
- Choosing to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
- Combining your choice of Grand Circle vacations to maximize your value
These options will involve an additional fee of $75-100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice).
