| Celebritys Zenith was already scheduled to sail to the island
paradise in 2000, while Horizon was slated for deployment in Europe,
offering cruises catering to a European audience. But when the Bermuda
government and Department of Tourism recently extended an invitation
to Celebrity to again deploy Horizon to Bermuda, Celebrity officials
said they seized the opportunity. |

We are interested in taking a cruise from either New York or Boston to
Bermuda this summer. We are taking a third person and are looking for
good rates for her. Also, what cruise line offers this, and what great
things are there to do on the island besides shop (which Im not
knocking)? Any help will be appreciated.

| ``Celebrity Cruises has had the pleasure of sailing to the coveted
cruise destination of Bermuda since our companys founding; in fact,
both Horizon and Zenith were built specifically to suit that premium
market, said Celebrity Cruises President Richard E. Sasso. ``The
demand for Bermuda cruises continues to surge, so we are very pleased
that, once again, we will have two vessels in Bermuda to provide our
guests with the opportunity to experience the best of this great
destination. |

| I received this interesting press release from Celebrity. I guess
Bermuda wanted to make up for the void of NCL not having a 2nd ship to
sail to the islands next year and beyond. As you may be aware Bermuda
has only allowed 2 ships per company to sail to Bermuda on a regular
basis. Celebrity lost their 2nd ship because Bermuda now considers
Royal Caribbean and Celebrity to be one cruise company. Therefore,
Bermuda had previously limited the upcoming season to the Nordic
Empress and the Zenith. If you have missed any of my news postings,
they are available on my web site. |
