BOSTON, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) and Grand Circle Travel (GCT) have launched their biggest-ever Vacation Ambassador Sweepstakes — giving current travelers the chance to earn rewards and win a FREE trip by referring new travelers to their programs. Running from June 16 through August 15, this 60-day sweepstakes builds on the momentum of what is already the most rewarding referral program in the travel industry.

The sweepstakes includes:

• 6 Grand Prizes: Travel FREE on any O.A.T. or GCT trip—or receive $6,500 in cash
• 4 Second Prizes: Enjoy a FREE 8- to 12-day O.A.T. Immersions adventure—or $3,500 in cash

Every new traveler you refer is another entry to win. Referrals must book their first trip by August 15. You'll be entered automatically or can visit HERE to learn more.

This effort spans the full Grand Circle family of travel companies—O.A.T. Land Adventures and Small Ship ocean cruises, Grand Circle Cruise Line river cruises, and Grand Circle Land Vacations—and is designed to celebrate the travelers who have fueled our purpose from the start.

"Referrals have always been at the heart of what we do," said Brian FitzGerald, Chief Executive Officer of Grand Circle Corporation. "There's nothing more powerful than one traveler sharing their experience with another. This sweepstakes is a way to honor that connection—and to reward the loyalty that drives our community forward."

Whether your friends dream of spotting Africa's "Big 5" wildlife (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo) on O.A.T.'s Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari (17 days), exploring culture and tradition on O.A.T.'s Japan's Cultural Treasures (15 days), or cruising through history on GCCL's Iberian Voyage: Lisbon to Barcelona (15 days), they'll find a trip that speaks to them—and you'll earn rewards when they book.

Through the Vacation Ambassador program, travelers can earn up to $7,900 in referral rewards—including a free trip or $6,500 in cash—when eight new travelers reserve. And now, with 10 chances to win in our biggest sweepstakes yet, there's never been a better time to share the journey.
