Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Announces End To Fuel Supplement

Miami - October 24, 2008 - Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. today announced that the company's fuel supplement will no longer apply to new Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises bookings made on or after November 10, 2008, anywhere in the world, for sailings that depart on or after January 1, 2010.

This decision takes into consideration the recent reductions in global fuel prices. The company has also established specific guidelines that will determine whether fuel supplement refunds will be provided for sailings that begin in 2009 and later, which were booked prior to November 10, 2008, if fuel prices remain below a specific price threshold.

For 2009 sailings and 2010 sailings booked before November 10, 2008, the company will determine on a quarterly basis whether fuel supplements will be refunded. Refunds, in the form of an onboard credit, will be provided if the closing price of West Texas Intermediate fuel is $65 or less, at the closing time of the New York Mercantile Exchange, two weeks prior to the beginning of the upcoming calendar quarter. When those conditions are met, an onboard credit will be provided to all guests on sailings that begin during the upcoming calendar quarter.

The dates on which the price of West Texas Intermediate fuel will be measured, and the quarters during which refunds could apply are:

Fuel Price Determination Dates for Possible Fuel Supplement Refunds

December 18, 2008 .................. First quarter 2009
March 18, 2009 ...................... Second quarter 2009
June 17, 2009 ........................ Third quarter 2009
September 17, 2009 ................. Fourth quarter 2009
December 18, 2009 .................. First quarter 2010
March 18, 2010 ....................... Second quarter 2010
June 17, 2010 ......................... Third quarter 2010
September 17, 2010 ................. Fourth quarter 2010


The company will continue to closely monitor the movement of global fuel prices and recognize that an upturn in those prices could necessitate the reinstatement of a fuel supplement.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises Celebrates Ten Glorious Years of Uninterrupted South Pacific Service for Paul Gauguin

Fort Lauderdale - January 18, 2008 - At a gala ceremony in Papeete Harbor featuring fireworks and colored water streaming skyward from tugboats, Tahiti's government and Regent Seven Seas Cruises this week celebrated 10 years of uninterrupted South Pacific service for the ultra-luxury cruise ship Paul Gauguin.

French Polynesian Tourism Minister Marc Collins presented Mark Conroy, president of Regent, with a commemorative plaque honoring the ship's 10th anniversary. Collins thanked Conroy for Regent's decade of fidelity in deploying the popular vessel year-round in Tahiti. The ceremony was highlighted by traditional music and dancing.

"From her very first cruise, Paul Gauguin has provided our guests with a unique experience featuring an authentic Polynesian flavor," said Conroy. "We could not have achieved this success without the spirit of welcome and cooperation we continue to receive from the Tahitian government and people. Regent is proud to operate this magnificent ship in this beautiful destination, and to introduce Tahiti's charms to discerning travelers from around the world."

Paul Gauguin first arrived in French Polynesia's Society Islands in January 1998, having sailed from its shipyard in St. Nazaire, France, via the United States mainland and the Hawaiian Islands. Arriving amidst much fanfare, Paul Gauguin ushered in a new era of cruising in Tahiti, introducing outstanding onboard luxury and gracious, friendly service combined with generous and insightful exploration into Tahiti's cultures and unrivaled natural beauty.

Paul Gauguin has completed more than 400 South Pacific cruises, carrying more than 120,000 guests and contributing tens of millions of tourism dollars to Tahiti's economy. Since its construction, the ship has undergone four refurbishments at a cost of more than $15 million.

Paul Gauguin offers year-around, seven-night cruises departing roundtrip from Papeete to Raiatea, Taha'a, Bora Bora and Moorea. The ship's schedule also features 11-night voyages that include Rangiroa and Hiva Oa and Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands; 10-night cruises that include Huahine; and 14-night journeys that include Fatu Hiva and Ua Huka in the Marquesas and the remote Cook Islands. Seven-day rates start at $2,195 per person.
