Princess Cruises
From its modest beginnings in 1965 with a single ship cruising to Mexico, Princess has grown to become one of the premiere
cruise lines in the world. Today, its fleet carries more than a million passengers each year to more worldwide destinations
than any other major line.
Considered one of the most recognized cruise lines in the world, Princess Cruises was catapulted to stardom in 1977 when
Pacific Princess was cast in a starring role on a new television show called "The Love Boat." The weekly series, which introduced
millions of viewers to the still-new concept of a sea-going vacation, was an instant hit and both the company name and its
seawitch logo have remained synonymous with cruising ever since.
Princess' modern fleet has grown considerably in recent years to include Caribbean Princess (2004), Coral Princess (2003),
Crown Princess (2006), Dawn Princess (1997), Diamond Princess (2004), Emerald Princess (2007), Golden Princess (2001), Grand
Princess (1998), Island Princess (2003), Pacific Princess (1999), Regal Princess (1991), Royal Princess (2007), Sapphire Princess
(2004), Sea Princess (1998), Star Princess (2002), Sun Princess (1995) and Tahitian Princess (1999). Ruby Princess will join
the fleet in 2008, making Princess one of the most modern fleets on the high seas.
Innovation in Passenger Choices
Building on past success, Princess is continually evolving to meet the needs of the today's vacationer. In the mid-1990s
the company pioneered the concept of putting passengers in control of their own cruise experience with the introduction of
its Sun-class ships. These revolutionary vessels gave passengers the freedom to choose from a wide range of flexible onboard
facilities, amenities and services in order to create a personal vacation experience that takes the regimentation out of the
cruise experience and suits each passenger's own needs and preferences.
Today, the line's emphasis on choice is apparent across the fleet, with each vessel offering its own unique version of
a host of multiple dining options and locations; flexible and varied entertainment selections; renowned customer service;
and a full complement of onboard activities including a variety of ScholarShip@Sea enrichment classes featuring computer training,
ceramics, culinary arts, finance and photography. Some vessels even sport a giant Times Square-style "Movies Under the Stars"
LED screen showing poolside movies and concerts. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Princess concept of cruise vacation
customization has since been adopted as the touchstone of new ship design for the entire cruise industry.
Affordable Luxury and an Abundance of Balconies
In addition to incorporating a wide range of choices, vessels in the Princess fleet are specifically designed to provide
the ultimate in affordable luxury, with an emphasis on "big ship choice with small ship feel." No matter the size of the ship,
public spaces are designed to feel intimate and are decorated in a contemporary style, allowing passengers to enjoy themselves
in an informal, relaxed onboard atmosphere that mirrors today's lifestyles.
The company has also long been the leader in building ships specifically designed to accommodate an extensive number of
the most sought-after shipboard luxury -- the private balcony. In the mid-1980s Princess pioneered the concept of the affordable
veranda, once an exclusive feature incorporated in only the most expensive suites. Today, Princess' fleet offers one of the
highest percentages of balcony cabins in the industry, across all cabin categories.
The physical design and décor of the ships, coupled with Princess' hallmark service excellence, creates an onboard atmosphere
of relaxed luxury in which passengers can enjoy their perfect vacation experience.
Worldwide Destinations
Princess' philosophy of choice is also reflected in its sailing schedule. Offering voyages to more worldwide cruise destinations
than any other major line, Princess has nearly 100 itineraries ranging from seven to 102 days. The line sails to all seven
continents and calls at approximately 280 ports around the world. Princess passengers can enhance their cruise experience
through the Adventures Ashore® program featuring more than 2,000 in-port excursions worldwide, and
the company's expanding cruisetour offerings enable passengers to combine their cruise with a full land tour. Destinations
include the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama Canal, Europe, Mexican Riviera, South America, Australia/New Zealand, South Pacific,
Hawaii, Tahiti/French Polynesia, Asia, India, Africa, Canada/New England, Antarctica and world cruises.
Having led the way in Gulf of Alaska cruising, Princess maintains a strong presence in Alaska. Through its Seattle-based
Princess Tours division, the company operates a wide variety of spectacular land and sea experiences in the majestic "Land
of the Midnight Sun." The largest cruise and tour operator in the state, Princess operates as many as eight cruise ships,
five riverside wilderness lodges, luxury Princess Rail domed rail cars, and a fleet of deluxe motor coaches; allowing cruise
passengers to connect seamlessly to a landside tour and experience several distinctly unique facets of the Alaska wilderness
in a single trip.
Romance at Sea
As befits the cruise line that starred in "The Love Boat," Princess continues to emphasize romance with a variety of special
onboard features designed to help couples celebrate their love. Princess was the first " and is still currently the only "
major North American cruise line on which passengers can be wed at sea by the ship's captain. In addition, the line regularly
hosts vow renewal ceremonies, anniversaries and even dramatic marriage proposals with the unique "Engagement Under the Stars"
program for passengers who want to "pop the question" on the ship's 300-square-foot LED Movies Under the Stars screen. Special
room service packages help passengers enjoy time alone together with all the ingredients for a romantic evening.
Princess Cruises is part of Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL and CUK), one of the largest vacation companies in the world.

Royal Caribbean Cruises
|
Welcome to Royal Caribbean International, the cruise line that delivers the "Wow!" and the
one that put a surfing simulator, rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks and other innovative amenities on cruise ships. Whether
you've sailed with us before or have just seen our ads, you may have the sense that we're not your average cruise line. |
 |
As
the "Get Out There" cruise vacation alternative, Royal Caribbean ships offer itineraries, activities and amenities designed
to appeal to every taste, energy level and age group giving our guests the opportunity to create their own adventure. Our
guests seem to agree with our philosophy: Royal Caribbean's Crown & Anchor guest loyalty program recently enrolled its
four millionth guest.
In May 2007, we were proud to welcome the newest addition to our fleet, Liberty of the Seas,
sister ship to the popular Freedom of the Seas. As the world's largest and most innovative ships, Liberty and Freedom feature
signature-class amenities such as the FlowRider surfing simulator, a 14-person family suite and cantilevered whirlpools suspended
112 feet above the sea. Liberty of the Seas will be followed by a sister ship, Independence of the Seas, in May 2008.
Our
ships, destinations and onboard amenities aren't the only reasons why Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line. We're a great
company because of our people, who deliver friendly and engaging Gold Anchor Service to our guests and travel partners every
day. Not only that, but wherever we go, whatever we do, we take our values with us. We know that our acceptance in the communities
we call home and the ports we visit depends on our living up to high standards of corporate citizenship. For that reason,
Royal Caribbean invests in community organizations and initiatives to enhance the quality of life in communities all over
the world.
Second only to our people is our commitment to the environment. Royal Caribbean International has implemented
stringent environmental practices and procedures that help preserve the world's oceans. Our company created the Ocean Fund,
which supports marine conservation organizations in their efforts to preserve the ecosystems of the world's oceans. Since
the fund began in 1996, we've awarded almost $10 million to 52 organizations involved in marine conservation research, education
and innovative technologies. |

Celebrity Cruises
Since its inception in 1989, Celebrity has held true to its original commitment of taking the very
best aspects of classic, elegant cruising and updating them to reflect current lifestyles. In 1997, we merged with Royal Caribbean
International to form Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
What sets Celebrity apart from other vacation choices today is
the cruise line's passionate dedication to providing guests with a cruise experience that exceeds expectations. This extraordinary
performance level has become the definition of Celebrity Cruises, and has set the worldwide standard for today's expression
of what first made cruising famous -- high quality, superior design, spacious accommodations, grand style, attentive service
and exceptional cuisine.
The excellence of Celebrity's existing cruise product continues with the cruise line's Solstice-class
ships, which embody even greater technical achievement and meaningful innovation, while retaining the distinctive style, sophistication
and service elements that have become the hallmark of a Celebrity cruise.

Azamara Cruises
Setting a new standard in Deluxe
Cruising
Azamara is the new, deluxe cruise experience for discerning travelers who long to reach out-of-the-ordinary
destinations and indulge in amenities and service unparalleled on the high seas. The unique offerings of Azamara are beyond
compare: butler service is provided in every stateroom; our shore excursions (we prefer to call them shore immersions), are
designed to let guests become part of the fabric of life in each destination, instead of merely being an observer; our enrichment
programs offer everything from culinary to photographic explorations; our two specialty restaurants provide the finest cuisine
at sea; live entertainment can be enjoyed nightly; and the level of service offered is unmatched.
Azamara Cruises consists
of two intimate ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 694 fortunate guests to discover
the hidden corners of the world that larger cruise ships simply cannot reach. In addition to offering a more personalized
experience, our ships have recently undergone a $17.5 million revitalization with new European bedding and soft goods, flat
screen televisions, new veranda decking and furniture, and wireless internet service in all staterooms and public areas. Plus,
93% of our staterooms offer ocean views and 68% have a private veranda.
You may be wondering where the name Azamara
comes from. Azamara is a coined term derived from the Romance languages. This includes the more obvious links to blue (az)
and the sea (mar). The name was also inspired by a star, Acamar. In classical times, the star Acamar was the most southerly
bright star that could be seen form the latitude of Greece. We think of Azamara Cruises as a star on the blue sea. We love
the flowing name that conjures up the imagery of magnificent journeys around the world. And we look forward to sharing these
voyages with our guests.
