Sailing November 13-20 on Holland America Line's MS Zuiderdam

NEW SPEAKERS ON BOARD FOR LUXURY VOYAGE! ace strategist DICK MORRIS and conservative Rep.

It's hard to believe, but The National Review 2004 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise now features an even bigger and even better cast of celebrity speakers!

This spectacular and affordable journey (prices start at just $1,549 per person, and "singles" can get a luxurious room for only $1,899!) aboard Holland America Line's luxurious MS Zuiderdam will provide you the unique opportunity to meet America's preeminent authorities on politics and the critical issues of our day. New speakers are Dick Morris, the ace political strategist and author (and expert on all things Clinton/Rodham), Congressman Pat Toomey, a true conservative champion who waged a valiant Republican senate primary challenge in Pennsylvania earlier this year, and super-bright military/terrorism guru John Hillen (who's also an NR contributor). They'll be joining an impressive ensemble including esteemed author Victor Davis Hanson (the renowned academic is one of the most influential writers on terrorism and American culture), Bernard Lewis (the eminent Princeton professor is the world expert on Islam's bloody history with the West--his What Went Wrong? and The Crisis of Islam are must-reads), Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, economist and Club for Growth president Stephen Moore, acclaimed author (of so many important books) Dinesh D'Souza, syndicated columnist and author Michelle Malkin (her 2003 immigration work, Invasion, caused a sensation), National Review Online favorite John Derbyshire, NR editor Rich Lowry, senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru, managing editor Jay Nordlinger, and editor-atlarge (and editor of The National Interest) John O'Sullivan. That's a veritable "Murderers' Row" line-up!--you simply must join them for seven relaxing days and nights of politics and policy, conservative revelry, and luxury cruising.

As NR cruise alumni (there are thousands!) know, our trips are remarkable events, marked by scintillating political shoptalk, 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 to come, but none bigger than the luminaries who will be joining us for this luxury trip! It may be the best ensemble we've ever had, which guarantees that our seminar sessions--featuring ample audience "Q & A"--will be fascinating.

[check] Who can give a better overview than Dick Morris about the ongoing antics of Bubba and future political designs of Hillary (as well as give special analysis of the post-election playing field)?!

[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 Davis Hanson, who will share his expertise on the moral struggle required for America and democratic nations to battle terrorism and defend freedom, as will John Hillen, the NR contributing editor who's in the know about all matters military.

[check] Who are better positioned to discuss the state of the Republican Party than chairman Ed Gillespie (who wrote for NR once upon a time before running the GOP), and true-believing conservative Congressman Pat Toomey (a rising political star)?!

[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 (immigration, campus "diversity," etc.) than the brilliant Michelle Malkin and Dinesh D'Souza (we'll also look for his take on the legacy of Ronald Reagan)?!

[check] And they'll be joined in all the elucidating and analyzing of the 2004 elections and their aftermath by NR's editorial heavyweights: Rich Lowry, John O'Sullivan, Ramesh Ponnuru, Jay Nordlinger, and NRO headliner John Derbyshire.

We so want you to "experience" these conservative luminaries that we've engineered our lowest prices ever, starting at only 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.

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.
