10 brand new Journeys have been released for the 2015-2016 season with all new destinations including Australia and New Zealand and returning favorites like Dubai and China

(TRAVPR.COM) USA - May 16th, 2014 - Travelers who can plan early for 2015 and 2016 cruise and land vacations can save an additional $400 per couple on 10 different Enrichment Journeys that combine 7 to 14-day cruises together with 5 to 15-day land packages. The resulting Enrichment Journey combines airfare, cruise, hotels, land tours, taxes, and baggage handling into two to four week-long vacations that save at least 25% over the retail cost of individual components.

"Enrichment Journeys packages popular cruise itineraries with interesting land destinations that create unique, one-of-a-kind, experiences," says David Gevanthor, President. "We are capitalizing on a trend preferred by many active retirees who prefer longer trips that combine several destinations, rather than multiple trips to the same part of the world. Given the cost of airfares, and the difficulty of finding and booking centrally-located hotels and planning local tours, the resulting values are very compelling," Gevanthor said.

One example of an Enrichment Journey is a 28-day vacation that combines 11 days of touring in Shanghai, Xian and Beijing, China with a 14-day cruise from Hong Kong to Singapore including extra hotel nights in both cruise ports. Rates for this Journey to China and the Far East start at $5,599 per person and include airfare, cruise, four and five-star hotels in China, all tours and meals, baggage handling and taxes. Enrichment Journeys reports that the comparable retail value of the trip is $7,465 per person, with savings up to $2,166 per person depending on date selected and category of cruise space.

Gevanthor says that such savings are typical on all Enrichment Journeys. "With some of us having been in the travel business for more than 35 years, we have a tremendous advantage in that we know how and when to buy these components, and we have long-standing relationships with local operators. We say our trips offer 'remarkable experiences and extraordinary value' and we have many past guests who share that view."

The Ft. Lauderdale-based company has just introduced its 2015-2016 season with 10 destinations on offer, including several new destinations. These include Australia and New Zealand, featuring Celebrity or Princess cruises paired with an Australian outback tour, and an innovative 23-day European vacation that combines tours and 3-night stays in Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Berlin with a Baltic Capitals cruise on the Norwegian Jade. The company also offers an extensive lineup of river cruise vacations on the Danube and Rhine Rivers featuring AmaWaterways and Avalon Waterways. Other Enrichment Journeys include Sicily and Florence paired with Mediterranean cruises, Ireland and Scotland combined with the Baltic, and Dubai and Bangkok paired with Singapore-based cruises to Indonesia and the Philippines. Finally, a Machu Picchu program combined with South America coastal cruises between Chile and Argentina, rounds out a program that is world-wide in scope featuring 43 departures beginning in January 2015.

$200 per person Early Booking Discounts on 2015 Enrichment Journeys are being offered to passengers who book prior to June 15, 2015. Passengers also benefit from a fully-refundable $100 per person deposit until their departure is officially open for sale and they are able to select their cruise accommodation.
