, wonderful socializing, intimate dining with our editors and speakers, making new friends, the rekindling of old friendships--and, of course, grand cruising. That's what's in store for you on the National Review 2004 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise.

There are countless reasons for you to come, but none bigger than the luminaries who will be joining us for this luxury trip--what a truly extraordinary gathering! It's one of the best ensembles we've ever had on an NR cruise, which guarantees that our seminar sessions--featuring ample audience "Q & A"--will be fascinating.

[check] Where does one begin to question Bernard Lewis about the brutal revival of the millenium-old struggle between Islam and the West?!

[check] Ditto for Victor David Hanson, who will share his expertise on the moral struggle required for America and democratic nations to battle terrorism and defend freedom.

[check] Who is better positioned to discuss the state and fate of the Republican Party than chairman Ed Gillespie (who wrote great pieces for NR once upon a time before he took over the GOP)?!

[check] Who can give keener insight on the war between conservatives and RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) than Club for Growth boss Stephen Moore? Or a sounder assessment of red-hot cultural issues (like campus "diversity" and immigration) than the brilliant Michelle Malkin and Dinesh D'Souza?!

[check] And they'll be joined in all the ruminating, elucidating, and analyzing of the 2004 elections and their aftermath (President Kerry?!) by NR's editorial heavyweights, led by Rich Lowry, who will be ably assisted by John O'Sullivan, Ramesh Ponnuru, Jay Nordlinger, and NRO NRO

We so want you to "experience" these conservative luminaries that we've engineered remarkably affordable prices, starting as low (indeed, our lowest prices ever!) as $1,549 (p/p). And singles can get their own cabin for just $1,899! That includes all those "extras" like port fees, taxes, and gratuities! Just look at the chart on the left and check out our phenomenal rates.

We've made it so affordable that you simply can't miss this trip.

Of course, the special "extras" that NR brings--the seminars, receptions, and intimate dining with speakers--come on top of the great cruise, which takes place on the beautiful MS Zuiderdam. Still gleaming from her recent inaugural, she's Holland America's classiest vessel. You'll find the accommodations to be truly luxurious, matched only by the indulgent, courteous staff, superior cuisine, and top-notch entertainment and excursions.

The National Review 2004 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise features a sunny itinerary--our voyage will visit Half Moon Cay (Holland America's glorious private island), the Virgin Island ports of St. Thomas and Tortola, and Nassau in the Bahamas.

Over the course of the week we will be holding (and we hope you will be enjoying!) at least five seminars (each brimming with two-plus hours of bite and wit as our panels of experts make sense out of current events and the recent elections, and divine what's ahead in Washington and elsewhere for 2005 and beyond), three cocktail parties (hot hors d'ouevres, cool drinks, and warm friendships), two late-night poolside smokers--featuring H. Upmann's wonderful cigars and complimentary cognac. And on top of all that comes dining with our guests: On at least two nights you'll enjoy intimate dinners with of our speakers and NR editors.
