Alan & Harriet Lewis Chairman & Vice Chairman Grand Circle Travel October 10, 2011 Dear [TITLE] [LAST NAME], As someone who has traveled with Grand Circle, you’re already familiar with the unparalleled value, discovery, and excellence we offer on our River Cruise vacations. In fact, we are so confident in our position as the leader in European River Cruising for mature American travelers, that we invite you to compare us against our competitors. Introducing our new … “River Cruise Best Price Guarantee” on all 2012 European River Cruise vacations Our “River Cruise Best Price Guarantee” means that if you find a lower price on a comparable 2012 vacation from one of our competitors serving American travelers, we will match their price—guaranteed. So, rest assured that if—on the day you reserve—you find a lower, published per-day price (with or without international airfare) on a European River Cruise vacation with similar features, Grand Circle will match it. And since many of our River Cruises sell out quickly, reserving a 2012 departure now also ensures that you’ll receive your first choice of the available departure dates, cabin categories, and preferred optional extensions. Here are some of the reasons why Grand Circle offers the best value, discovery, and excellence in European River Cruising: • We have the lowest per diems in River Cruising, and include so much from airfare and accommodations to meals and wine with dinner onboard. • Award-winning Fleet: Seven of our European river ships were named among the “Top 20 World’s Best” for 2011 by Condé Nast Traveler readers. Plus, 92% of our travelers have rated our ships “excellent.” • Now, with our new REDUCED Single Supplements on all 2012 European River Cruise vacations—and FREE Single Supplements on all optional extensions—our value for solo travelers is unsurpassed.
