Cruises with an escort

Cruise Holidays announced its 2004 escorted cruise holidays program that features 16 sailings escorted by a Cruise Holidays store owner. Cruise Holidays, which is North America’s largest chain of cruise-specialty travel agencies, says it is the only such organization to offer its own, branded, escorted program. The cruise company said the escorted tours are particularly well-suited for first-time cruisers, vacationers who prefer to travel in escorted groups and cruisers who value social interaction. The escorted cruise holidays program includes five cruise lines: Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, Cunard Line’s, Holland America Line, Windstar Cruises and America West Steamboat Company.
