Vacation.com: Vacation Vignettes Cruise Program

I want to take a little time today to highlight Vacation.com's (VCOM's) Vacation Vignettes Cruise Program.

For those not familiar with VCOM's Vacation Vignettes, it is a cruise program available to all North American, VCOM affiliated, Travel Agencies and is offered as a result of our collective bargaining power within the cruise industry.

So what is a Vacation Vignette? Here are some current offers from Vacation Vignettes.

A Vacation Vignette is an exclusive cruise vacation created by Vacation.com and sold only through member agencies. You will not find these special packages online or at an agency that is not a member of Vacation.com.

Each Vignette features:

• Services of a Concierge Host
• Bon Voyage Cocktail Reception
• Exclusive Shore Event

These concierge-hosted sailings deliver something special that anyone who loves to cruise would want — a genuinely unique, creatively packaged cruise vacation experience at an attractive price.

What is a Concierge Host?

The Vacation.com Concierge Host is a member of the Vacation.com Corporate Headquarters team or is the owner/manager of one of our member agencies. Each has extensive experience hosting luxury travel guests and knowledge of the destinations on the itinerary.

The Concierge Host understands how to unobtrusively yet effectively meet and exceed each guest's expectations.

Start with a Bon Voyage Cocktail Reception!

Guests on each Vacation Vignette sailing are invited to a complimentary and exclusive Bon Voyage Reception to meet their Concierge Host and for an opportunity to toast fellow travelers on what is sure to be an unforgettable vacation experience.

Make it Special with an Exclusive Event!

A not-so-well-known hideaway and little extras make each Vacation Vignette sailing a unique offering available exclusively through ATN & Vacation.com Member Agencies.

Whether it's a private wine tasting with a seasoned sommelier at Heidelberg Castle or private tango lessons in Buenos Aires, guests will return from each event with the memory of an experience of a lifetime. 

So not only do I think it provides an exceptional value for ATN's clientele beyond what any one consumer could obtain by booking Fully Independant Travel (FIT), but I am also one of the experts chosen as a concierge host for the program.
