CELEBRITY CRUISES LAUNCHES NEW AD CAMPAIGN

[JoeyandDavid]

Miami - (January 17, 2006 ) - Celebrity Cruises has launched a major new advertising campaign built around the theme, "The Celebrity Treatment." Created by Arnold Worldwide, the TV and print campaign showcases how Celebrity Cruises' service and experience as a whole makes the line's guests feel like celebrities.

"This campaign is designed to convey the emotional connection our guests feel from the minute they step aboard until the moment they reluctantly leave," said Celebrity's Senior Vice President of Marketing, Ellen Taaffe. "It playfully conveys that special something that only we can offer, which we call 'The Celebrity Treatment'."

The broadcast campaign - consisting of two 30-second ads directed by award-winning commercial director Erich Joiner - hits the airwaves this week and marks the first time in several years that Celebrity has advertised on network TV. The new ads will appear this month on hit shows such as Desperate Housewives, Lost and According to Jim, and also will appear on select cable channels including the Travel Channel and Food Network throughout the year.

The print campaign - a portion of which features work by well-known photographer Peggy Sirota - will run in a breadth of consumer publications and newspapers throughout the year, while separate ads will appear in a variety of publications geared for travel agents.

"Arnold's new campaign for Celebrity continues our conscious creative approach of focusing on the emotional impact that comes from taking care of people during their vacation," said Arnold Worldwide Chairman and Chief Creative Officer Ron Lawner.
