Default CELEBRITY GETTING ONBOARD ART TOURS...I WILL BE ON SUMMIT IN NOVEMBER....WOOHOO!!!

MIAMI, July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Celebrity Cruises' guests now
can enjoy museum-quality audio equipment and commentary while viewing
the fleet's permanent onboard art collection. Seven of the line's ships
now offer complimentary use of handheld audio devices featuring
self-guided art tours that provide education and insight into the works.

"We're thrilled to be the only cruise line to offer equipment of such
high quality to guests interested in art," Celebrity Vice President of
Entertainment Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said. "Whether someone is new to the
world of art or an art historian, our self-guided art tour will give
them new insight into the works on display, ultimately enhancing their
cruise experience."

To take an audio tour, a guest can simply visit the Guest Relations desk
and sign out an audio tour device. The easy-to-use devices - the same
equipment used in the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art - allow
guests to explore works of art at their own pace and in whatever order
they choose. Each device offers the highest available sound quality.

Written by an art historian, each tour has been created to appeal to a
broad range of tastes. Featuring points of interest that will appeal to
the novice art enthusiast or an art historian, the tours offer a
combination of academic information and lighter knowledge as they
introduce the listener to thought-provoking concepts such as what the
artist may have been thinking when he or she created the piece, or
whether an artist's intent is more important than a viewer's perception.

The line implemented the new self-guided audio art tour on Celebrity
Century in April. By the end of October 2007, Celebrity will complete
installation on Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Galaxy, Celebrity
Infinity, Celebrity Mercury, Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Summit.

Each ship's collection is valued at more than $1.5 million, and features
modern and contemporary 20th century works by artists such as Jasper
Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg and Pablo
Picasso, in a variety of media, including sculpture, oil on canvas and
photography. Each collection offers a balance of serious and whimsical
art; this mixture is reflective of the comfortable sophistication guests
experience on a Celebrity vacation.
