Companies should not be able to trap consumers into subscriptions that they do not want.
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Vantage Travel Service for allegedly making deceptive representations about its “Majestic Rivers of Europe” tour (a European tour that travels through Austria, Germany, and Hungary). Among other things, the complaint alleges that travelers paid for a 15-day luxury cruise but instead received a five-day cruise and eight-day bus trip.
