But sadly, they didn’t make it either and it’s now up for sale.

Majestic America Line will conclude its final river cruise on Monday, Nov. 16. The company, which was pieced together by Ambassadors International Inc. in 2006, is on the market but hasn’t been sold. No itineraries are scheduled for 2009. On Nov. 15, the American Queen will finish its season and will dock in New Orleans for the winter. The following day, Queen of the West ends its final cruise and will winter in Portland, Ore. Two other vessels — Delta Queen and Mississippi Queen — are also in New Orleans, while Columbia Queen will remain in Portland for the winter. Empress of the North completed her last cruise on Aug. 9 and was transferred to the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) due to unpaid debt.

Majestic America Line will still have a dedicated team available for any guest, travel partner or vendor inquiries that arise after the 2008 cruise season is completed. For more information, visit www.majesticamericaline.com.

Wintertime — with lower prices, no crowds, a slower pace, and maybe the excitement of an acqua alta (high water) — may be the best time of year to visit Venice. Riding a vaporetto up the Grand Canal without the tourist hordes means really enjoying the world’s most beautiful city.

From now until March 31, with the exception of the Christmas/New Year period and Carnival, TourCrafters is offering a midweek Venice Supersaver package starting at only $699 for round-trip airfare from New York and Boston, four nights at the small Hotel Hesperia (which overlooks the Canareggio Canal), daily buffet breakfast, service charges, taxes and fuel surcharges. Upgrades are available at several hotels, including the Carlton & Grand Canal ($788), the elegant Palazzo Stern ($1,001) and the grand Luna Baglioni ($1,397), but the Hesperia is perfectly acceptable and comfortable for those on a budget. Departures from other U.S. cities are possible for an additional price of $30 from Chicago, $89 from Miami and $215 from Los Angeles.

Tourcrafters offers reasonably priced two- and three-day extensions suggested to the vineyard-dotted countryside of Tuscany, to the art center of Florence and to ravishing, scenic Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. All prices are per person, double occupancy, are subject to availability and do not include airport taxes of $112. Reservations must be paid for within 72 hours of booking.

Consider doing an escorted tour with Globus Journeys.  Fully escorted by a professional tour guide, you’ll receive insider knowledge on the best places to visit. On a tour, all of your accommodations, transportation, basic sightseeing and some meals are included. By having several departures of the same itinerary, the tour company can negotiate special rates that make doing an escorted tour a lot less expensive than traveling on your own in many cases.  Plus, you’ll get to know like minded travelers from all over the world. I’ve had many clients make lasting friendships with people they’ve met on an escorted tour.

To kick off the 2009 European season, Globus is offering up to $500 OFF per couple on air-inclusive holidays when you book by December 15, 2008!
