Cruise the South Seas in December at two-for-one prices plus free airfare and Tahiti hotel

Vantage Deluxe World Travel has a one-sail-date only special for a 10-day South Seas cruise aboard Regent Seven Seas' ultra-deluxe small ship, the m/s Paul Gauguin.

Departing Los Angeles on December 9, 2007 -- free airfare is included from LA in the deal -- you can fly to Papeete, Tahiti, and spend three nights in the Radisson Plaza Resort there before embarking on a 10-day cruise through the Society Islands and the nearby Tuamotus. The itinerary includes Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, and Rangiroa, among other islands.

Fares start at $3,097 per person in double occupancy, half off the retail price of the cruise. Besides the cruise, the hotel stay and the free airfare, the price includes complimentary wines and other beverages throughout the cruise, shipboard gratuities, and all transfers and baggage handling if you make your air arrangements through Vantage.

For comparison, Regent Seven Seas is offering the same cruise on its website for $2,595 per passenger in double occupancy -- but without the airfare or the hotel in Papeete included. The same airfare if purchased through Regent would run you an extra $1,100 alone.
