The Grand Circle Difference
There is so much included in your trip price, such as all house wine, house beer, and soft drinks aboard our award-winning river ships.
Best value in travel—guaranteed
You will always receive an unbeatable value when you choose Grand Circle Cruise Line and Grand Circle Travel. Your trip price includes a series of guided tours and Exclusive Discovery Series events to connect you with the culture of your destination, as well as all accommodations; most meals—and all onboard house beer, house wine, and soft drinks on our privately-owned river ships—and gratuities for local guides and motorcoach drivers. We guarantee that you won’t find a lower price—if you do, we’ll match it.
Our local Program Directors give you insight into the culture of your destination as only an insider can.
Our local Program Directors
Your group of 38 travelers (on average; one of 3 to 4 groups total) on River Cruises and group of 30 travelers (on average) on Land Vacations will be accompanied by one of our local Program Directors. These resident experts will connect you with the people and culture of the places you’re exploring. Plus, with more than 2,000 regional associates and 35 offices worldwide, enjoy the comfort of knowing our team is always available, 24/7.
We provide opportunities to interact with locals allowing an inside look at daily life.

With our Exclusive Discovery Series events, like Home-Hosted meals and visits to local schools through Grand Circle Foundation, you’ll learn about the local culture from those who work, learn, and live there.
