Vantage Announces New Expeditions and Itineraries for 2023-2024

• January 22, 2023

Vantage Deluxe World Travel is offering new expedition and discovery cruise itineraries for travelers in 2023-2024, the company announced in a press release.

The newly announced voyages include shorter cruises to Antarctica and first-time itineraries to South America, the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

“From the shores of the Mediterranean and Latin American marvels to the dramatic wilderness of Antarctica and lively cultures of the Caribbean, Vantage’s new 2023 and 2024 journeys will take our guests to the most remote and exciting destinations in the world,” said Deirdre Dirkman, EVP of worldwide operations & marketing at Vantage Deluxe World Travel.

“We hope everyone discovers their dream journey with Vantage this year,” Dirkman added.

Vantage’s recently released expedition cruising itineraries offer what the company calls “fresh opportunities” to see destinations that include the Arctic, Antarctica and the Amazon.

New in 2023, Vantage will offer a shorter length Antarctic cruise named Antarctic Express Expedition. The seven-night cruise begins in Ushuaia, Argentina, and features fewer days at sea, in addition to two days in Antarctica.

New sailings from Central and South America including Argentina, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Barbados and Chile have also been announced.

These journeys enable travelers to spend more time enjoying experiences ashore and place a major emphasis on exploring natural habitats, Vantage said.

The 2023-2024 season will also mark Vantage’s first full season with two ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Ocean Odyssey – which joined the fleet in late 2022 .

The small vessels were built for global luxury expedition travel, the company said, and will navigate worldwide with 48 itineraries that will bring travelers to all seven continents.

New itineraries include stops in Greece, Slovenia, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Barbados, Bahamas, Scotland, Norway, Ireland and Sweden.

According to the company, its small ship cruising itineraries allow guests to immerse themselves in the culture of centuries-old towns and villages.

Fiascos and Fixes

Vantage Travel is bankrupt. Here’s what customers need to know

Michelle Couch-Friedman

Consumer reporter and ombudsman

July 16, 2023

Vantage Deluxe World Travel finally pulled the plug on itself and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 29. This move was no surprise to anyone following the troubling situation at the once well-respected tour operator. 

What did come as a surprise was the true debt the company amassed before increasing negative publicity about its operations forced it to shut down. The legal team of Vantage Travel revealed that shocking figure in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proposal.

All told, Vantage Travel owes customers, vendors, contractors, and other creditors over 170 million dollars.

The value of the assets of the company is a mere fraction of that number. 

Vantage Travel’s legal team says the company’s primary asset is its customer database, which it’s hoping to sell. But that list contains disgruntled and distraught would-be travelers, to whom Vantage collectively owes nearly 110 million dollars. 

With figures like those in the bankruptcy proposal, it’s hard to imagine the customer list of Vantage Travel holds any value. But apparently it does.  

In the follow-up bankruptcy hearing on July 5, which I attended via Zoom, not one but two companies stepped forward in the courtroom to express a desire to buy the remnants of Vantage Deluxe World Travel for one million dollars.

Today, thousands of Vantage Travel customers want to know what all this means. They’ve been waiting for months and, in many cases, years for promised refunds. Those refunds, if the bankruptcy court approves the current proposal, will likely never materialize.

If you’re one of those thousands of Vantage Travel customers , here’s what you need to know. 

What should Vantage Travel customers do right now ?

According to court records, the database Vantage intends to sell to United Travel Pte. Ltd includes customers’ credit card information and passport numbers, among other personal details.

Update: During the sale auction held on Aug. 7 and 8, 2023, Pacific Travel Partners , a subsidiary of Aurora Expeditions, won the bidding. On Aug. 14, 2023, Judge Janet Bostwick in U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the sale.

This proposal doesn’t sit well with thousands of Vantage Travel customers who already consider themselves victims of the company. They view the sale of their private data to the highest bidder as yet another betrayal by the tour operator to whom they gave their loyal business.

• Update : On July 20, 2023, the Consumer Privacy Ombudsman (John Loughnane) appointed by the the U.S. Trustee published his first report on the Vantage Travel bankruptcy case. In this document, he explained that in response to the ongoing complaints about the company’s intention to include personal credit card and passport details in the customer list, Vantage has adjusted those plans. The legal team of Vantage now says that those details will not be transferred to the buyer and the encrypted data will be destroyed before the sale is concluded.

There are a number of things Vantage Travel customers can do now to make sure the bankruptcy court hears their opinions.

1. File Form 410 (Notice of Claim)

Vantage Travel customers owed a refund or have a future trip scheduled should file an official proof of claim. Here’s how to do that:

• Fill out Form 410 Proof of Claim .
• Print out the the form.
• Mail it to the following address: Vantage Travel Service, Inc. Claims Processing c/o Stretto 410 Exchange, Suite 100 Irvine, CA 92602

Update : The deadline to file a form 410 Notice of Claim is Dec. 1, 2023 . A number of customers have asked me if they need to file the 410 in the bankruptcy court if they’ve already received their notification of future credits with Pacific Travel. The answer is “Yes.” No one knows what the future will bring and should any funds be made available to the unsecured creditors down the road, you’ll want to be on the official list for a cash distribution. So if Vantage Deluxe World Travel owes you a refund, make sure you put yourself on that list.

2. Contact the U.S. Trustee’s office

The U.S. Trustee Program at the Department of Justice is the bankruptcy proceeding’s watchdog.

These are the key team members (and their contact information) working on the Vantage Travel bankruptcy case:

• Eric Bradford (Lead attorney, U.S. Department of Justice)
• John Loughnane (Consumer Privacy Ombudsman)
• Jason Longton (Paralegal Specialist)

The U.S. Trustee’s team is inviting Vantage customers to submit their questions and concerns to Jason Longton.

Consumers who wish to become part of the unsecured creditors’ committee should send a message to Longton indicating that intention. Those customers will receive a request for more detailed information from the Department of Justice.

Note: The Section 341 meeting of unsecured creditors is scheduled for Aug. 1 at 1:30 p.m. Customers can attend that meeting remotely.

3. Subscribe to receive Vantage bankruptcy updates

Things are happening unusually fast in this bankruptcy case. In the hearing on July 5, the lawyers for Vantage and the potential buyer mentioned the “Need for speed” here. They argued Vantage Travel’s value plummets further each time a new unfavorable article appears in the media.

To keep up with the rapidly evolving case, customers can subscribe to the Vantage bankruptcy updates on Stretto . Stretto publishes all the official documents and transcripts.

4. Attend the hearings in person

The Vantage bankruptcy proceedings are public. That means anyone can attend the hearings at the United States Bankruptcy Court in Boston. Keep your eye on updates in Stretto to find out when the next hearing will be.

5. Attend the hearings via Zoom

As most of the unsecured creditors (customers) are not located in Massachusetts, the court has agreed to a remote broadcast. To participate, you’ll need to create a free Zoom account . Interested consumers can email the court deputy prior to each hearing and request a link to join.

* Note : Make sure to turn off your video camera and microphone if you intend to participate via Zoom. Otherwise, the court and everyone else can see and hear you — even if you aren’t aware of it!

Only turn on your camera and microphone if Judge Bostwick asks for comments and you wish to speak. During the first hearing, she did ask Zoom participants if they had questions.

6. Join our Vantage Travel Customer Support Facebook group (not affiliated with Vantage Travel)

So far, no court has required Vantage to alert its entire customer list of the bankruptcy filing. As a result, many customers who aren’t on the internet have remained in the dark about the situation. I continue to receive emails and phone calls from surprised Vantage customers who come across one of my articles and only just now are hearing the bad news about the company.

To combat this lack of transparency, we established a private Facebook group . We dedicated this space to providing reliable information, guidance, and friendly emotional support to everyone troubled by the Vantage bankruptcy. Our group has become known as a trusted source of factual information that Vantage doesn’t necessarily want to be publicized.

This private group includes thousands of Vantage customers, employees, vendors, and suppliers. Additionally, you’ll find notable journalists, TV newspeople, public relations executives, and of course, consumer advocates.

Will Vantage Travel customers receive refunds?

When cruise lines or tour operators go bankrupt , it often hits the consumers the hardest.

The harsh reality is that it is unlikely that Vantage Travel customers will get their money back. Certainly, it will not happen as a result of the bankruptcy proceedings. 

Vantage Travel is over 170 million dollars in debt with no real assets. Secured creditors and the lawyers involved in bankruptcy proceedings stand at the front of the payout line if there are any proceeds at the conclusion of the case. Unsecured creditors (customers) always get the short end of the stick when a company goes belly-up holding their funds (See: How to get a refund if your cruise line goes bankrupt ). 

But there is one exception to this rule in the Vantage case.

What about trips booked just before Vantage Travel declared bankruptcy?*

Customers who purchased new tours on May 12, 2023, or later will likely receive all their money back. Here’s why: (Please see update below)

Even after it was clear that Vantage was heading to bankruptcy court and had no chance of operating future trips, it continued to market and sell phantom tours to customers who hadn’t yet heard about the company’s dire situation. 

The sales team at Vantage Travel was one of the last departments to be let go. Right up until June 20 (the day they were all fired), these employees, who received commissions based on their sales, continued to cheerfully hype future tours to unaware, mostly elderly customers who were willing to pay with a bank transfer. 

The good news for these customers is that Vantage put all of that group’s cash in a separate account. According to the bankruptcy proposal, there are 2.1 million dollars in a separate account that represents all sales from May 12, 2023. 

If the court approves the sale of Vantage Travel, that money will transfer to the new company. If the new owner is unable to operate the tours as scheduled for those customers, they will be eligible for a cash refund.

*Update* : Because of multiple objections to this part of the sale agreement, it was removed from the final document that was approved on Aug. 14, 2023. The 2.1 million dollars will now remain as part of the bankruptcy estate of Vantage Travel, and customers who purchased new trips after May 11, 2023, will not receive special treatment. They will file a Form 410 as the rest of the Vantage customers .

What about the 1.2 million dollars the Attorney General retrieved?

Last month, in response to growing inquiries from media outlets in Boston, the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office released a memo announcing it had retrieved 1.2 million dollars from Vantage for customers. 

Unfortunately, that statement set off a new wave of confusion among Vantage customers, who assumed that now there was a pile of money to share for those in line for a refund.

The truth is that the Massachusetts Attorney General has received nearly 1,200 complaints from Vantage customers since 2020. The 1.2 million dollars cited in the press release is the total amount the office has negotiated in refunds for Vantage customers during the entire three years. Vantage did not send money to the Attorney General, and no cash is waiting for disbursement.

If you consider that Vantage Travel sold luxury tours that on average cost around $15,000, it’s not hard to figure out that the vast majority of customers who contacted the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (or any other advocate) have not received a refund.

Will the new owner honor our Vantage Travel trip or refund?

If you are a Vantage customer and  have a future trip scheduled , you can assume it’s canceled. Your contract is with Vantage Deluxe World Travel, and at the end of the bankruptcy proceedings, that company will no longer exist.

In the bankruptcy filing, there are no provisions for cash refunds for customers.

If the bankruptcy proposal proceeds as is, customers who are owed refunds will only receive a small future trip credit from the new company. The value of the credit will be equal to 20 percent of the refund that Vantage Travel owed to the customer.

* August Update : Pacific Travel Partners, a subsidiary of Aurora Expeditions, became the winning bidder for the remnants of Vantage Travel. Under the sale agreement, Vantage customers who are owed refunds will receive future travel credits equal to 100% of the value of what was owed to them at the time of the bankruptcy (with limitations). This is a much better outcome compared to what the customers would receive had the competing company United Travel won the bankruptcy auction.

Can I file a credit card dispute against Vantage?

The Fair Credit Billing Act protects credit card-using consumers from merchants who do not provide the purchased goods or services as described. It also protects consumers against fraud. 

Customers who paid for their Vantage Travel tour with a credit card should contact their credit card company to ask about filing a chargeback based on services not received as promised. 

If your credit card company accepts your dispute, you will receive a temporary credit, and Vantage will have 30 days to respond to the chargeback. At the end of those 30 days, if Vantage has not responded, the temporary credit will become permanent. 

Note: If you made your payment many months or even years ago, you may need to remind your credit card company that the deadline for filing a dispute is based on the expected date of service, not the date you first made a payment. If the front-line customer service agent doesn’t accept your request, ask to speak to a supervisor who will likely be more familiar with the Fair Credit Billing Act.

Strange update: There’s been a strange turn of events for customers who have filed valid credit card disputes against Vantage Deluxe World Travel . Who is contesting those credit card chargebacks?

Could my bank reverse the payment I made to Vantage?

Unfortunately, most Vantage customers did not use a credit card to pay for their trip. Instead, they were enticed by the small discount Vantage offered when a customer would pay with an instant bank transfer.

In general, bank transfers are not reversible – especially ones that were authorized by the consumer. However, that should not prevent you from asking your bank about this possibility.

In some cases, if the bank transfer has been initiated in the last 30-60 days, your bank may decide to pursue the reversal with the receiving bank. 

Will the Travel Protection sold by Vantage help?

The Vantage Travel Protection is of no use to its customers now that the company has ceased to operate and is bankrupt. 

The product was highly problematic because Vantage was self-insuring Part A of that policy (pre-departure cancellations) – with no underwriter.

And Vantage ran out of money… a long time ago. 

Today, Vantage owes around 5 million dollars to customers who have approved claims via its “travel protection” that, in the end, provided no protection at all to those travelers.

What about that Allianz policy?

Travel insurance can be confusing to consumers. There is no doubt about it. For that reason, the industry offers a 10-14 day (depending on the company) look-over period during which travel insurance purchasers can carefully review the entire policy. After that time, the policy becomes nonrefundable and legally binding.

The travel insurance industry is highly regulated and so consumers can be confident that an insurance company will provide all the protection described in their policy. The opposite is also true. By thoroughly reading the document during the look-over period, travelers can be certain of what is and isn’t covered by the travel insurance policy.

Unfortunately, many travelers do not read those travel insurance policies.

As a consumer advocate, that fact has never been more clear to me than in the past three months. During that time, my email box and message center have been flooded with questions and misunderstandings about the responsibility Allianz and TripMate have to Vantage customers.

The Vantage Deluxe World Travel Protection Plan came with a 10-day look-over period. But the mass confusion about this policy proves that most customers didn’t read the document — until now.

In the Vantage case, Allianz and TripMate were only providing post-departure travel insurance. That means that all customers who bought that policy from Vantage had full post-departure medical coverage, trip interruption and delay protection, evacuation benefits, lost luggage coverage and more. It was a valuable, comprehensive travel insurance product that many Vantage customers who completed their trips utilized.

Of course, that part of the policy had no value if Vantage didn’t actually operate the tour. 

Will travel insurance ever pay when a tour company cancels?

Desperate Vantage customers are looking for any alternative way to recoup the money that Vantage owes to them. I’ve received a plethora of requests from customers asking me to ask TripMate and Allianz to provide the refunds that Vantage owes them.

These requests indicate a basic misunderstanding of the Vantage Travel Protection Plan at its core: it only pertains to customer-initiated cancellations. Neither part of that plan provides any coverage for a cancellation initiated by Vantage.

Fact: When a tour operator cancels a customer’s trip, it owes the refund — not the travel insurance company. The only exception to this rule, is if the tour operator goes bankrupt AND the customer purchased a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes an insolvency clause.

For a more detailed explanation of the difference between a travel protection product and a true travel insurance policy, you can read Consumer Rescue’s guide on the topic.

Will the new company give Vantage customers a free trip as a gesture of goodwill?

No. This is a suggestion that lands in my email box over and over again. The new company is a for-profit company. They wish to buy the customer data so that they can market to the list and sell new trips. None of the companies vying to buy that list are offering to absorb the enormous debt that Vantage has accrued.

The bottom line: A 110 million dollar goodwill gesture isn’t going to happen.

I’m sorry I don’t have better news to report for Vantage customers. I will continue to update our readers via Facebook , in the Consumer Rescue newsletter and in our Facebook group. Stay tuned…

*Update 8/20/23: Vantage Travel is sold. Here’s what that means to customers

Update 11/27/23: The deadline to submit a notice of claim (410) to the bankruptcy court is Dec. 1, 2023. Make sure to file electronically via Stretto before that date if you were owed a refund at the time Vantage Travel filed for bankruptcy.

Update: 12/1/23: The deadline to file a notice of claim has passed but if you are a Vantage Travel customer who is owed a refund from the bankrupt company, you should contact the new company Vantage Explorations. You may be able to receive future travel credits with VE. Here’s how to contact their team: [email protected] (Note: Only one E in the middle of that email address.)

Ocean Odyssey Review

Review of ocean odyssey.

The 2022-built MS Ocean Odyssey cruise ship is an ice-strengthened (polar class 1A / PC6) expedition vessel owned by the Danish company SunStone Maritime Group (via its USA-based subsidiary SunStone Ships Inc) and until 2023 was chartered by Vantage Cruise Line - subsidiary and brand owned by the Boston -based company Vantage Travel Service Inc (brand name "Vantage Deluxe World Travel").

The vessel (IMO number 9880673) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311000870) and registered in Nassau .

In January 2024, SunStone confirmed that since October 2024, Ocean Explorer will be chartered to Quark Expeditions . The statement also mentioned that in October 2024 ends Quark's charter of Ocean Adventurer .

Vantage Travel Service Inc's bankruptcy (2023)

In May 2023, the two Vantage Travel-chartered ships Ocean Odyssey (May 31st) and Ocean Explorer (May 29th) arrived and were permanently moored/docked in Caen (France) . Reportedly, the laid-up (by SunStone Ships Inc) was for 3 months and was requested by the charterer experiencing financial difficulties. All scheduled voyages for both ships were canceled by Vantage Travel Service Inc.

On June 8th, Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office (run by Michelle Henry) filed a lawsuit against Vantage Travel for “deceptive and unfair business practices” also citing holding older residents' refunds hostage.

On June 20th, Vantage Travel laid off all its employees, after quietly postponing all its voyages through August 28th. Reportedly, since January 1st, 2020, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office (run by Andrea Joy Campbell) received a total of 1120 consumer complaints about the cruise company, including 478 (2023-filed) and 108 (from Massachusetts residents).

On June 29th, Vantage Travel Service Inc filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and signed with United Travel Pte. Ltd (owner of the companies Nordic Hamburg Shipmanagement GmbH and the cruise line brand Heritage Expeditions New Zealand) a deal to sell its entire business.

Vantage Travel received approval to promptly complete the sale through a court-supervised process. Vantage Travel's legal advisor was Casner & Edwards LLP while Argus Management served as the financial advisor.

On July 5th, during the preliminary court hearing in Boston (for the company's bankruptcy filing) were revealed two potential bidders for Vantage - Pacific Travel Partners Inc (Aurora Expeditions Australia's subsidiary) and United Travel Pte Ltd. Both bidders offered DIP financing (Debtor in Possession).

On Aug 4th, Pacific Travel Partners submitted its bid (US$1,5 million cash offer) for Vantage Travel's assets (not the entire business) and on Aug 9th it won the auction. On Aug 22nd, Pacific Travel Partners officially acquired Vantage Travel's assets (intellectual property, customer list and prospecting). Pacific Travel Partners also committed to honoring the obligations to unsecured creditors, including Vantage's clients who had paid for not-yet-received travel services. These clients were provided with credits to be used towards future voyages with Pacific Travel Partners.

Ship technology

Ocean Odyssey is the fourth in a series of ten "Ulstein CX103" design (Infinity-Class) expedition vessels, with sisterships Greg Mortimer (2019-Aug), Ocean Victory (2021-March), Ocean Explorer (2021-Jan), Sylvia Earle (2022-Oct), Ocean Albatros (2022-Oct), Ocean Discoverer (2025-August). Four more units were intended but eventually canceled and replaced by the new BOUNDLESS Class boats.

The patented ULSTEIN X-BOW design is one of the unusual for expedition ships features, The vessel also utilizes the latest technologies in naval engineering. The ship is technically managed by Cruise Management International ( Miami -based passenger vessel/fleet management company). CMI Leisure Miami handles hotel operations.

For the interior designs of this entire series of SunStone-owned ships was contracted the Weston Florida-based company Tomas Tillberg Design.

With the highest for passenger vessel ice-class 1A (Polar Class 6 / PC6), MS Ocean Odyssey has icebreaking capacity 1 m (3 ft) and complies with maritime industry's latest polar code requirements and specifications. The boat offers unprecedented levels of safety and environmental protection.

The major advantage of the patented "ULSTEIN X-BOW" design is the ship's ability to navigate with improved stability in comparison to traditional bow-design vessels. X-BOW vessels are less subject to vertical motions (induced by waves), continuing on course smoothly while maintaining high speeds. The ship's engines use less fuel, which results in reduced air emissions and fuel consumption.

The ship is equipped with maritime industry's latest propulsion and return-to-port systems, as well as dynamic positioning technology. These computer-controlled systems allow automatic maintenance of the ship's position via propulsion units (thrusters and propellers). This allows stable floating while maintaining the necessary stability for launching watercraft - and without using anchors.

Shipboard facilities

The newbuild expedition vessel features dedicated outdoor observation areas (including fore-located Observation Deck with two Hydraulic Platforms and two Viewing Platforms), stern marina (watersports platform serving company's sea kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving programs), a fleet of 22x Zodiacs (large-capacity motorized boats used for passenger transportation - tendering and landings). The aft-located Zodiac loading platform is a new design and allows easier and faster boarding. Sun Deck (top-deck forward) is furnished with premium garden furniture (sofas, armchairs, sun loungers) and used for both relaxation and wildlife viewing. The top-deck bow is the Observation Lounge (served by its own Bar) and midship is the funnel (with four stacks/engine exhaust pipes).

Other facilities include Medical Centre (Infirmary), Change Room (Mudroom), Bar Lounge (lecture theater forward on Deck 5), Dining Room Restaurant, Ship Shop, Lobby area (Reception Desk), Library, Art Room, Wellness Centre (Fitness, Spa, Sauna Room, Treatment Rooms for Massages), Lower Sun Deck (Deck 7 aft, with lifeboats and liferafts), Upper Sun Deck (Deck 8 midship, with sunbathing area with an infinity pool/stern-facing swimming pool flanked by two Jacuzzies/whirlpool hot tubs).

Four Zodiac Docks (2 on each side, hull access at sea-level) serve as boat launching platforms.

Decks and Cabins

Ocean Odyssey staterooms (a total of 80) allow max capacity 162 passengers. Most cabins (80% of all, excepting only Deck 3 cabins with Portholes) are with private, step-out balconies accessible from the living area via sliding, floor-ceiling glass door. Each balcony is furnished with a small table and two deck chairs. 60% of all cabins can be booked with triple occupancy (accommodate a 3rd person on pull-out couch/sofabed).

• Hotel beds (King-size or two twin, size 200 x 160 cm, ample under-bed storage space for suitcases), sleeping couch (sofabed), bedside cabinets, mirrored vanity (writing desk/dressing table) with chair, built-in dressers with drawers, mini-bar / refrigerator, 42-inch smart HDTV (local and satellite reception), phone (onboard communication only), digital clock/alarm, seating area (small table with 1 or 2 armchairs), spacious wardrobe (closet with hangers, drawers, electronic safe), individual climate control, medical emergency button.

Each stateroom has a private, full-size bathroom with shower / WC, hairdryer, premium bath amenities. Suites are in 3 categories - CS-Captain's, JS-Junior and BS-Balcony. These are the largest staterooms, with double-size balconies and offering extra amenities, such as in-room dining service (continental breakfast served on the balcony).

There are 15x single-occupancy cabins (for solo travelers). The ship has a total of 20 pairs of connecting rooms (balconied cabins) that can be booked as one "family stateroom" for up to 6 persons. There are no wheelchair-accessible cabins (suitable for passengers with disabilities).

The boat has 8 decks , of which 6 are passenger-accessible and 4 with cabins.

The ship-chartering agreement includes a deal with the Miami -based company CMI Leisure Management. Ship management services include staffing, hotel services, housekeeping, onboard food and beverages, purchasing supplies, logistics. CMI Leisure is among the world's leading companies providing small-ship management services.

On March 16, 2017, SunStone Ships Inc signed the shipbuilding agreement with the Hong Kong -based company "China Merchants Industry Holdings" (abbrev CMIH) for the construction of 4 expedition vessels. SunStone is the world's largest (by tonnage) shipowner chartering exclusively expedition vessels to cruise travel companies.

Since there is an option for an additional 6 sisterships, with the "ULSTEIN CX103" design were built 10 units. The USD 260 million shipbuilding order for the 4 units was signed in June 2017.

The company CMIH is a subsidiary of China Merchants Group (among the country's largest groups of companies). Following the contract with SunStone Ships, CMIH signed an agreement with the Norwegian company Ulstein Design (part of Ulstein Group, headquartered in Ulsteinvik Norway ) to supply the ship design and equipment package (ULSTEIN COM / Navigation Bridge system, and the integrated automation systems ULSTEIN IAS and ULSTEIN POWER), and also to supervise the shipbuilding works. For the ship's hotel design was contracted the Florida (USA)-based company Tomas Tillberg Design International (specializing in passenger vessel design). The design features Ulstein's patented X-BOW (providing fuel efficiency and significantly improved stability in rough seas). The vessel complies with the 2009-issued SOLAS requirements for "Virtual Anchorage" and "Safe Return to Port" (SRtP) implemented via Dynamic Positioning System (computer-controlled, automatically maintains ship's position) and Zero Speed Stabilizers (roll reduction system).

CMIH also signed an agreement with the Finnish company "IS Makinen Inc" to pre-fabricate the vessels' cabins, wet units and interior public spaces. For this purpose, Makinen established a cabin assembly plant and an interior workshop facility at the shipbuilding yard in China. Project's shipbuilder is CMIH's subsidiary "China Merchants Heavy Industry" (abbrev CMHI, shipyard near Shanghai ).

In late-May 2020, SunStone Ships Inc announced that Ocean Odyssey will be chartered to Vantage Cruise Line (brand of Vantage Travel Service Inc). Vantage Travel plans for Ocean Odyssey cruises in new for the brand destinations, including the Pacific Ocean's Coral Triangle (Indonesia, Malaysia, PNG, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste), Komodo Island (Indonesia) , Borneo Island (world's 3rd-largest), northern Australia.

On March 18, 2021, at CMHI Haimen Shipyard (in Jiangsu, China) was held Ocean Odyssey's keel-laying ceremony. On the same day was launched (floated out from drydock) the sistership Sylvia Earle .

Ocean Odyssey's launch (the float-out at CMHI) was on October 23, 2021.

The ship is powered by 4x Wartsila-20 diesel engines (two 6-cylinder plus two 8-cylinder) running on HFO (heavy fuel oil). The 6-cylinder engines are fitted with Wartsila-NOR (exhaust gas cleaning system, NOx gas reducing technology). The contract with Wartsila was signed in November 2017.

The vessel's propulsion system is diesel-electric (twin-screw) and designed by Brunvoll Volda AS (Volda Norway-based company specializing in marine propulsion, positioning and maneuvering systems). For the ULSTEIN CX103 project, Brunvoll contracted DMC (Damen Marine Components, Hardinxveld Giessendam Holland-based marine equipment manufacturer) to produce and supply the vessel's two rudders (model Van der Velden ATLANTIC) and two steering gear systems (model Van der Velden COMMANDER).

Ocean Odyssey (together with Sylvia Earle ) was delivered to SunStone in 2022, on October 21st, at CMHI Haimen.

Would-be travelers out thousands of dollars after last-minute cancellations. What to do

A dream cruise cancelled at the last minute. problems getting a refund of the thousands they paid. it happens. what can consumers do to avoid a frustrating and costly situation.

Settled in the Delta Sky Lounge at Tampa International Airport in late March, Lynne Schrum and her husband, David Hall, were ready to head out on their two-and-a-half-week vacation to Western Europe.

This wasn’t the original trip the couple had booked as first-time customers of Boston-based cruise company Vantage Deluxe World Travel. In January 2021, the St. Petersburg couple had reserved an Aegean Sea cruise that was set to sail 15 months later. But that cruise was subsequently postponed to October 2022, which did not work for them. 

Vantage instead gave the couple the option to go on their “tulips” cruise, which would take them to Brussels for a few days before an eight-day cruise in the Netherlands, with an excursion to Paris to round out their time abroad.

“We’re sitting there, congratulating ourselves, getting excited,” Schrum said. “Then the phone rang.”

It was a representative from Vantage, warning them not to get on the plane and to collect their baggage. Their trip had been canceled.

More: Dropped by your property insurance provider? A premium spike? Here’s what you can do.

Your home or car is flooded: Here's what to do now.

High electricity bill? I tried to lower mine with these energy efficient habits

“My husband is sitting there, watching my face. He was pretty sure someone in our family had died,” she said. 

She tried to reason with the man on the other line. She thought about all the things they had booked, the tickets they had to the opera and a trip to Giverny to see Monet’s gardens, and figured they could still go, even if they wouldn’t be going on the cruise. But five minutes later, she said, their seats on the plane were canceled.

“At first, we were just shocked. Now we’re angry,” said Schrum, who had paid $33,000 for the trip. “It’s all of the people who are so distressed about it.”

Schrum said she was told a refund would take 14 business days. Now it’s been more than 40.

“They’ve had this money for a very, very, very long time. We’re retired. We are not young,” said Schrum, who is 76. “It’s inconceivable that this amount of money would be gone from our savings.”

The couple's plight is due to issues with Vantage, but everyday travelers and vacationers run into problems with vacation bookings for any number of reasons.

In the weeks following the couple’s cancelled cruise, Vantage faced a ransomware attack that left customers without a way to contact the company for at least a week. It had also canceled at least five other cruises.

So what can consumers do to avoid a frustrating and costly situation with a trip? What should they do if they find themselves in a similar position? The Palm Beach Post asked travel experts for their advice.

Pay with a credit card when you make that initial travel booking

Vantage Travel offered customers discounts for paying with an eCheck or directly through their checking account. Both couples who spoke with The Post had paid by check. But travel experts say there’s no level of protection by doing this, and consumers should instead book travel with a credit card.

“The credit card company is going to give you protection against financial insolvency,” said Dan Meister, who owns Boca-Raton based Top Group Travel.

At least when paying via credit card, you can try to dispute a charge if you paid for a service that did not come to fruition and attempts to get a reimbursement directly from the company have been exhausted.

“As soon as they cancel, they’re good at getting the money back,” said Laurence Gore, a Fort Lauderdale attorney who specializes in travel and tourism law.

Research a company before you agree to be their customer

Before putting down that credit card, though, do your research. 

“If you’re thinking of booking through a tour company, see the cancellations or comments,” Gore said. But be wary of the timing of those complaints. “If you find problems during the pandemic, that doesn’t necessarily mean the company has a problem now.”

Look up reviews on search engines and social media or through the Better Business Bureau. 

You can also consider booking with travel companies that have certain certifications or proven financial stability, such as members of the U.S. Tour Operators Associations who put up $1 million in collateral in the event something happens, or suppliers listed with Trusted FIT Services, said Jeffrey Ment, a travel industry lawyer from Hartford, Conn. These companies can give travelers some extra peace of mind.

Consider a travel agency. It may be old school, but they can vet travel companies for you.

With Airbnb and direct-to-consumer companies like Vantage being the more popular way to travel, consumers these days tend to handle their own travel plans. But licensed, bonded and insured travel agencies, albeit old school, can offer customers options with vetted companies or tell you if a company has caused issues in the past. Additionally, agents can provide support to customers if a cancellation occurs.

“We can elevate (an issue) within our network where they have more leverage with these suppliers,” said Kurt Crowl, president of Travel Leaders of the Palm Beaches. “If you don’t book with a travel agent, you don’t have that leverage.”

Added consultant Phyllis Horodner: “Without a travel agent, you’re on your own.”

Keep good records of travel plans and communications with companies you are working with

You should always keep a paper trail of your travel plans. That means making sure you have a record of expenditures and receipts, tickets and correspondence with the company. On the company’s end, customer service calls are typically recorded and kept on file. It’s not a bad idea after such a phone call to write down what was discussed and email it to the company to confirm as another form of records.

Get travel insurance (but read the terms and conditions closely)

Getting travel insurance can help in the event you get sick or have an accident, but depending on the policy, it could also help if the company files for bankruptcy or is otherwise “not able to meet their obligations,” Meister said. The travel company will offer their own insurance, but it’s possible to get insurance through a travel agent or other provider. Meister said it’s better to get a policy around the time of your first deposit for the trip, but it can also be purchased right up until the start of the trip.

It’s important to read the fine print, both of the travel insurance as well as the company’s refund and cancellation policies. 

Think carefully about your options once a problem has surfaced

Experts suggest sending letters to the attorneys general of your home state and that where the company operates, submitting comments to the Better Business Bureau and filing a complaint with the Federal Maritime Commission.

If all else fails, you might want to consider the legal route and hire an attorney who knows travel law, such as one with the International Forum of Tourism and Travel Advocates, experts said. Even if you win in small claims court, because of the limitations you may not get back all your money.

Unclear how many people's travel plans disrupted by Vantage, but the company cited reasons for canceling trips

It's unclear precisely how many people were impacted by these cancellations. The Post sent inquiries to one of the company's executive vice presidents as well as the former outside communications firm, but did not receive a response at the time of publication. A month-old Facebook group dedicated to those who had been spurned has almost 300 members. Nevertheless, some Vantage customers are waiting on reimbursements in the tens of thousands of dollars.

The reasons trips were thwarted are varied, as Vantage's founder and chairman Henry Lewis wrote in two letters to consumers published to the website. On April 28, Lewis said four trips to the Netherlands had been canceled “due to the ship’s readiness,” and two trips to Egypt were canceled over safety concerns. 

“With the recent U.S. State Department Sudan travel advisory, given the proximity, we are closely monitoring our trips to Egypt until further notice for the safety of our guests,” the letter from Lewis reads.

Furthermore, the message says that a ransomware attack discovered on April 20 affected Vantage’s call center, website, email and “other internal systems” for at least eight days, but none of the trips had been affected specifically by this incident.

Dozens of complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau. And those who are trying to get their money back say they’re getting unclear timelines from the company.

One couple canceled by Vantage said they will now look elsewhere for booking travel

Charles and Lea Moskowitz, both 75 of Daytona Beach, are also waiting for a refund of more than $20,000 after their “tulips” trip was canceled. The couple had traveled with Vantage for more than two decades, visiting all seven continents over 28 incident-free trips.

The couple’s first trip in the summer of 2000 took them to Scandinavia, the Baltics and part of Russia. This past April, they were looking forward to their 29th trip to the “Stans,” as Charles called it, traveling through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan for the first time.

Two weeks prior to the voyage, Vantage notified them the trip had been rescheduled for later that year, he said. That wasn’t going to work with their schedule, so the couple opted to go on a cruise they had done before, but didn’t mind.

Then, a voicemail message popped up on their answering machine. “There’s some bad news,” the Vantage representative said, according to the recording shared with The Post. The ship was not ready, the representative said, who then asked to call an 800 number to review their options.

“We’ve never had an issue like this before,” Charles Moskowitz said.

Despite the company's previously blemish-free track record with Moskowitz and his wife, he'll book future travel elsewhere.
