Add an Independent Vacation Package to Your River Cruise

Monograms is independent travel without the hassles that typically come with “ordinary” independent travel. With Monograms you never have to worry about whether or not your hotel will have your reservation, how to get from here to there, or where to go once you get to your destination.

Monograms is ideal for vacationers who want the freedom of independent travel but who prefer the convenience of a package that takes care of all the details, such as reserving hotels, air arrangements, airport transfers, or even guidance at your destination.

To book two vacations together, please contact your travel consultant to help you coordinate your travel arrangements and to provide applicable dates and prices.
