Expedia vacation packages are all about value. While other online travel sites partner with tour operators, Expedia's own market managers have firsthand knowledge of specific vacation destinations. These experts develop close relationships with flight, hotel, and rental car suppliers to obtain the best package rates, which are passed along to you. On average, you can save up to 30% sometimes even more by purchasing a vacation package on Expedia.

Vacation packages are easy to book. Expedia hand you all the ingredients for a complete, and available, vacation. You don't need to spend hours researching hotel, flight, and rental car availability. Expedia do all the work by finding the very best vacations at the very best rates.

Aside from great deals from Expedia on airfares, vacation packages and hotels, you'll also discover cruises going to most areas of the world:

• Hop on a South America-bound ship and spend one day exploring ancient Mayan ruins, another scuba diving off the coast of a remote Caribbean island, and yet another traversing the Panama Canal
• Sail around Europe, where you can visit a dozen famous cities and only unpack your bags once
• Journey north to Alaska and enjoy nature at its finest, from mountains to fjords to glaciers millions of years old
• Head south to the Caribbean and visit some of the world's most gorgeous beaches and dive sites
• Or travel down under, stopping at some of Australia's and New Zealand's most fascinating cities, where you can visit the Great Barrier Reef and the world's oldest rain forest on the same day

So, whether you're travelling near or travelling far, cruising, driving or flying, you'll find the biggest selection, the best prices - and the best service - at Expedia, the leading online travel service!
