MIAMI, Feb. 4 -- Jack Anderson, formerly senior vice- president
of marketing and sales for Holland America Line-Westours, a unit of Carnival
Corporation (NYSE: CCL), will join the corporate parent as vice- president
marketing. Anderson will replace Roderick K. McLeod who is leaving the
company to join American Classic Voyages (Nasdaq: AMCV) as the CEO for Project
America, an initiative to build two 70,000 GRT cruise ships in a U.S.
shipyard.

"Though we regret that Rod will be leaving our organization, we're very
pleased to have someone as knowledgeable and talented as Jack Anderson, who
has spent 25 years with our company, available to step into his position,"
said Carnival Corporation Chairman and CEO Micky Arison.

"We wish Rod every success in this venture as we are keenly interested in
the return of the U.S. flag to the cruise vacation industry as well as the
resumption of passenger shipbuilding in American shipyards," Arison said.
"American Classic Voyages has certainly chosen the right man and I'm confident
that Rod will step up to the challenges of this project," he added.

Anderson, 46, joined Holland America Line-Westours in 1974 as a tour
director and progressed through a variety of key management positions with
that organization including assistant vice president reservations and
inventory control, vice president operations administration and vice president
marketing. Anderson advised Seattle-based Holland America in late December
that he was leaving the company to relocate to Florida. "My original intent
was to take some time off and sail my boat around Florida and the Caribbean;
however, this opportunity to join Carnival Corporation is just too intriguing
to pass up," Anderson said.

McLeod, 58, who joined Carnival Corporation in July 1997, has spent most of
his professional career in senior sales and marketing positions in the North
American cruise industry including 24 years with Royal Caribbean
International.

"This is my next great adventure," said McLeod. "The opportunity to play a
key role in a project that prompts the resumption of passenger shipbuilding in
the U.S., and the entry of U.S.-flagged cruise ships into the modern cruise
industry, is something I very much want to be a part of."

Commenting on his association with Carnival Corporation McLeod said, "This
is a group of exceptional people who work in an exceptionally positive
environment and who produce obviously exceptional results. I'm proud to have
been associated with them; they are the cruise industry's business model."

Phillip C. Calian, Chairman/CEO of American Classic Voyages said, "It was
not easy to pry Rod away from Carnival Corporation; we've been having
discussions with him and Carnival management, with whom we enjoy a very good
relationship, for quite some time. We're excited that Rod has decided to join
us and I'm pleased for the good wishes of Carnival's management."

Both Anderson and McLeod are expected to assume their new posts by the end
of February.
