Elegant Cruises & Tours Announces Savings for Venice & Dalmation Coast Cruises on the Monet

The beautiful Dalmatian Coast on the eastern edge of the Adriatic Sea is hailed as Europe's "new" Riviera --an enchanting vacation playground and destination "hot spot" rich in sun, culture, history, cuisine, art, and shopping. This magnificent coast is home to the m/s Monet, a 62-passenger yacht-like ship owned by Elegant Cruises & Tours, (www.elegantcruises.com). Now, Elegant Cruises is offering value savings for all "Venice & the Dalmatian Coast" cruises with half off for second person in a stateroom and significantly lowered single supplements. The single supplement has been reduced to 25 percent for staterooms and 50 percent for suites.

The savings apply to 2009 sailings of the Monet's "Venice & the Dalmatian Coast" cruises, 18 departure dates in all, April through October. Passengers can choose 8-day/7-night itineraries sailing roundtrip Venice or 1-way in either direction between Venice and Dubrovnik.
