The Niche Cruise Marketing Alliance (NCMA) has added Mediterranean-based Variety Cruises to its roster. Now 15 lines strong, the NCMA looks to educate travel agents on the value of the specialty cruise products it represents. Variety Cruises is a small-ship cruise company based in the Mediterranean and Greece, with vessels that accommodate fewer than 50 guests and sail to small and hidden isles that bigger ships cannot reach. Cruise fares range from $990 to $2750 per person. Visit www.varietycruises.com or www.nichecruise.com. (DE)
