FANTASTIC NEWS! NEW SPEAKERS!--RICHARD PERLE and RADEK SIKORSKI to join former Education Secretary WILLIAM BENNETT, former CIA Director JAMES WOOLSEY, plus National Reviewall-stars RICH LOWRY, JOHN O'SULLIVAN, JAY NORDLINGER, RAMESH PONNURU, and NRfounder and Editor-at-Large WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR.

This is your special--and last--opportunity to take part in one of the most exciting seafaring adventures you will ever experience: the National Review 2004 Bermuda Cruise. Featuring an incredible cast of all-star speakers, this trip will take place May 12-19, 2004, aboard Radisson Seven Seas Cruises's MS Navigator--the acclaimed ship of the world's highest rated cruise line.

This is a unique opportunity to meet preeminent conservatives and policy-makers: "Definites" for this voyage are former Education Secretary and celebrated author William Bennett, former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey, NR Editor-at-Large William F. Buckley Jr., and NR editorial heavyweights Rich Lowry, John O'Sullivan, Jay Nordlinger, and Ramesh Ponnuru. And we are very happy to announce that Richard Perle--author, strategist, and former chairman of the Defense Policy Board--as well as former NR "Roving Correspondent" Radek Sikorski (he's now running the New Atlantic Initiative, after stints as a top Polish defense and diplomatic offical) will be joining us for seven luxurious days of political shoptalk, conservative revelry, and world-class cruising.

Make that top-of-the-world-class cruising. For those who demand the very best, the Navigator is custom-made for you. But with prices starting at an incredibly low $2,999 a person, the National Review 2004 Bermuda Cruise is "custom-made" for just about anyone! Unsurpassed service, sumptuous cuisine, spacious accommodations, and luxury, luxury, luxury are the hallmarks of this acclaimed ship.

You can't do better than the Navigator, or Radisson. Says who? Says Conde Nast Traveler's experienced and discriminating readership--which just voted Radisson the "World's Best Small-Ship Cruise Line!" That's remarkable, and a testament to the fact that the National Review 2004 Bermuda Cruise will be a superior experience. Fine crusing aside (more on that below), meeting top policy-makers and leading conservatives is the highlight of NR's voyages, and, as with our past trips, on the National Review 2004 Bermuda Cruise you'll have great opportunities to spend "quality time" with them--at the six seminars we have planned (each two hours long, and featuring scintillating discussions of current events, plus your participation via lively Q&A!), or at the exclusive three cocktail receptions or two late-night smokers (featuring H. Upmann's truly superior cigars and a complimentary cognac) that are in store, or over a gourmet dinner with our editors and speakers (our goal is to schedule you to dine intimately with our sailing dignitaries on two nights).

This will be NR's second trip to Bermuda, and we're happy to be returning to this beautiful island. It never gets old: Sauntering through the charming cities of Hamilton and St. George (still steeped, like the customary afternoon tea, in the traditions of British colonial life) during the day, enjoying the nightlife, relaxing on the rose-blushed sands of Bermuda's gorgeous beaches--all of this and much more (such as the numerous excellent excursions Radisson will provide) awaits you. Oh yes: The Navigator will also make a lengthy visit to Norfolk, from which fascinating tours to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, and other historic Virginia landmarks are available.

Fascinating too will be your sumptuous cabin--all of the Navigator's staterooms provide an ocean view, nearly 90 percent feature private balconies, and none is smaller than 301 sq. ft. (at 1,173 sq. ft., the Master Suites are simply huge!). All staterooms feature European king-size beds (convertible to twins), separate sitting areas, marble baths with tub and separate shower, large walk-in closets with safe, terry robes, hair dryers, refrigerators (stocked with soft drinks), TV/VCR, in-suite bar set-up, and so much more. Oh yes: The Master, Penthouse, and Navigator suites offer ...
