Celebrity's European Cruises Bring Culture Onboard with "Passaporto di Europa" Activities Program

MIAMI, April 10, 2007 -- This summer, Celebrity's Mediterranean and Baltic sailings will bring Europe aboard the ship with the line's newly-expanded European activities program, "Passaporto di Europa."

Designed to enhance guests' experience on sea days -- days spent traveling from one port to another -- and in the evenings throughout the cruise, Passaporto di Europa will offer numerous entertainment-, shopping- and dining- related activities based solely on several cultural activities of Europe.

Highlights of the Passaporto di Europa program on Mediterranean sailings include the following activities:

    -- In France: Pasta meets panache in a friendly cook-off between onboard
       culinary staff proudly representing Italy and France, where guests take
       sides and cheer on their hosts; a wine and cheese fair gives guests a
       taste of two of France's most popular exports.
    -- In Italy: "Carnevale di Venezia" replicates the famous St. Mark's
       Square event when the ship's pool deck is transformed into a real
       "piazza," complete with music, food, a mask-making festival for guests,
       a gondola race, and the traditional "flight of the dove."
    -- In Spain: A culinary demonstration featuring Paella and Sangria-making
       lessons, samples and take-home recipes in a "taste of Spain."
    -- In Greece: "Dining under the Santorini Stars" offers a candlelight,
       taverna-style dining experience with Greek food and authentic
       entertainment; followed by "Opa!," an on-deck festival featuring music,
       food, dancing, bedsheets-as-tunics, photographs with Celebrity's own
       Zeus and Athena, and a "Venus and Apollo of the Voyage" competition.
    -- A Mediterranean street fair offers guests the chance to purchase
       Mediterranean crafts and gifts, Lladro figurines and Italian glass
       onboard while enjoying gourmet foods, music and a distinctly
       Mediterranean ambience.

On Baltic sailings, highlights include:

    -- In Germany: "Oktoberfest German Biergarten" offers local German beers
       for sale, complemented by German foods, a sausage-eating contest and a
       performance by an authentic German oompah band.
    -- In Scandinavia: During "Cosmetics in the Cold," the AquaSpa staff offer
       guests tips for keeping their nails and hair healthy and their make-up
       fresh in cold-weather climates.
    -- In Russia: Onboard shops are stocked with Russian wares such as Russian
       diamonds, amber, lacquer boxes and Faberge eggs during "Russian
       Bazaar."
    -- In the British Isles: Guests can take a step back in time at the "'60s
       British Invasion Party," experience antique and authentic English pub
       games of the past and present and discover Irish whiskey during "Irish
       Pub Night and Sing-Along," learn the Queen's English, and participate
       in a British royalty trivia competition.
    -- "Europe through the Silver Screen" presents a cruise-long film festival
       of European cinema, featuring classic and modern films which depict the
       region, its history, and glimpses of its landscape.
   

Guests sailing on Celebrity Century, Celebrity Galaxy, Celebrity Constellation and Celebrity Millennium will receive a passport-style souvenir booklet that they can bring to each activity, where ship staff will stamp it. At the end of the sailing, guests will present their passports to receive various program-specific prizes based on the number of stamps collected.
