MIAMI, Jan. 11 -- Royal Caribbean International will introduce
exciting itineraries on the continent of Africa, and more ports of call, as
"Legend of the Seas" continues its globetrotting Royal Journeys cruises in
2000/2001. Expanded from ten to 12 journeys, the program allows guests to
experience the majesty of African wildlife, explore the Acropolis, journey
"Down Under," travel to the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, and
experience the rich cultural heritage of Southeast Asia.

"The success of the program, introduced last November, has surpassed our
expectations," said Jack Williams, president, Royal Caribbean International.

More than 300 guests sailed on "Legend of the Seas" for 30 days from Athens
to Dubai, ending in Singapore. Other guests sailed from Barcelona to
Auckland, which encompassed five cruises over 78 days.

"Legend of the Seas" will sail to 14 countries, and more than 30 cities in
172 days for Royal Journeys 2000/2001. The program will feature four-night
safari adventures in Kenya, visiting the Tsavo and Amboseli game parks,
concluding in Nairobi. Longer safaris include stays at Mount Kenya Safari
Club, The Ark, Samburu National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Additional
charges apply. Overnight excursions are also available in Israel, Egypt,
India, Australia and New Zealand. Guests will be able to disembark the ship in
a designated port-of-call, travel to an alternative destination, and then
rejoin the vessel in another port-of-call. Pre- and post-cruise CruiseCombo
packages at land-based resort accommodations will be available in all ports of
embarkation and debarkation. World-class golf excursions will be available on
selected itineraries through Golf Ahoy!, Royal Caribbean's exclusive golf
