We are proud to present these unique 2002 reader cruise offers at the very best time of the year for a price that Is simply unheard of on the British market.

You re bound to fall in love with the Dutch owned Van Gogh as soon as you set foot on board At 16,000 tons, fully stabilized, with seven passenger decks, five bars and a sea water swimming pool, she really is much more than a floating hotel. Completely refurbished in 1999/2000, air-conditioned throughout, and with a friendly English-speaking crew, the Van Gogh has a dazzling array of on board facilities on offer.

With 250 passenger cabins, the Van Gogh is large enough to feature many of the amenities enjoyed by some of the impersonal "super liners", yet small enough to provide an intimate friendly atmosphere for passengers and crew alike. You will have plenty of time at sea in which to get to know this wonderful vessel and albwing you to relax, recuperate in delightful surroundings and to reflect on your holiday of a lifetime.

There will be plenty to do and see ashore and afloat, and the ship's itinerary is a lovely blend of leisurely days cruising at sea, sightseeing and shopping ashore. There's something here to please everyone, from a beauty salon and a massage parlour which offer top-class pampering, toa card room, casino and soundproofed disco. There is a gymnasium far those who want to work off their big breakfast, a cinema which offers the latest releases, an excellent Duty Free Shop with designer names at bargain prices, a library for bookworms and comfortable lounges which offer both relaxation and entertainment. And if this wasnt enough, there's also a specially arranged programme of West End standard shows and entertainment available every night. This is one holiday where there will be no need for continual budgeting as all on-board meals and entertainment are included on our greatvalue cruise. This means you get breakfast, lunch (both of which are available on deck when the sun is shining!), afternoon tea, dinner and midnight snacks! Add to this a series of gala dinners, and the sort of cuisine you'd expect on a blue nband cruise of this calibre, and you've got a package that's hard to resist.

With plenty of deck space available, you will be able to soak up the summer sun in real style. Relax by the sea water swimming pool and take a dip if you want to cool down. For the more energetic, a wide range of activities are available to suit all tastes and ages including quizzes and competitions, as well specialised sports deck where you can enjoy a game of table tennis.

Remember, the currency on board the Van Gogh is sterling so there's no need to worry about changing lots of foreign currency and losing money on the exchange rate.
