MORE THAN 120 SHORE EXCURSIONS AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH CARNIVAL'S 'FUN
SHIP' DEPARTURES FROM NEW YORK
Exciting Landside Offerings Available on Sailings to Caribbean, Bermuda, New
England and Canada
MIAMI (06/09/03) - With a record 50 "Fun Ship" departures from New
York this year, including voyages to the Caribbean, Bermuda, New England and
Canada, Carnival Cruise Lines has expanded its shore excursion offerings to
include more than 120 different choices, everything from deep-sea fishing
and kayaking to "helmet diving" and bicycling.
Carnival's 2003 New York season includes a unique eight-day
Caribbean program on the 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend, seven-day Bermuda
voyages on the 2,124-passenger Carnival Pride - the line's first sailings to
the island from the Big Apple -- along with four- and five-day Canada and
seven-day "fall foliage" cruises aboard the 2,758-passenger Carnival
Victory.
"Carnival has dramatically increased its presence in New York and to
keep pace with this expansion, we're providing even more opportunities for
guests to experience the stunning natural beauty, unique cultures and
interesting landmarks and attractions that these fantastic destinations have
to offer,'" said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.
Among Carnival's 2003 shore excursions from New York are:
Eureka Half-Day Deep Sea or Reef Fishing (Carnival Pride -
Bermuda) - After boarding the Eureka, a customized 65-foot fishing vessel
with the latest on-board amenities, guests cast their lines and try to "reel
in" grouper, snapper and other fish. All fishing equipment and bait are
included in the price; only luck and skill can supply the fish!
Helmut Diving Adventure (Carnival Pride - Bermuda) - One of
Bermuda's most unique underwater adventures, "helmet diving" allows guests
to stroll along the sandy bottom in 15 feet of water, exploring coral reefs
and feeding exotic tropical fish by hand while wearing a protective helmet
that continuously supplies air. No experience necessary, however, guests
must undergo a brief training session.
L.L. Bean Sea Kayak Adventure (Carnival Victory - Portland,
Maine) - Following a scenic motorcoach ride to Freeport, Maine, guests board
two-person kayaks and paddle along the region's rugged coastline, meandering
through hidden coves and protected waterways, including Casco Bay where
seals, osprey and other animals are spotted regularly.
Ride the Rapids (Carnival Victory - Saint John) - This
excursion takes place at Saint John's legendary Reversing Falls where
powerful tides force the river to reverse direction and flow upstream. An
exhilarating boat ride provides an excellent vantage point to view swirling
whirlpools and 10-foot-high waves. The excursion also includes visits to
various local attractions, including Old City Market, Fort Howe and Heritage
Preservation Area.
Bicycle Touring of Covered Bridges (Carnival Victory - Saint
John) - New Brunswick is ideally suited to bicycle touring, with beautiful
scenery and an unhurried pace, all enhanced by the largest collection of
covered bridges anywhere in the world. During their two-and-a-half-hour
ride, guests have an opportunity to stop and view the breathtaking country
vistas along the way and dine at the charming Broadway Café, which is
included in the price.
Snorkel and Beach Adventure (Carnival Legend - St. Thomas) -
This tour combines two world-renowned St. Thomas activities - snorkeling in
crystal-clear waters and relaxing on the beach. After snorkeling in warm
Caribbean waters and viewing and even hand-feeding colorful tropical fish,
guests "soak up some rays" on one of St. Thomas pristine white-sand beaches.
Bioluminescence Bay Kayak Tour (Carnival Legend - San Juan)
- On this nighttime tour, guests view luminescent fish and other organisms
as they kayak through Bioluminescence Bay - one of only four "glowing bays"
in the world. The "enlightening" excursion includes a guided tour through
the mangrove channels of "Las Cabezas de San Juan Natural Reserve" and
Fajardo Lighthouse.
The shore tours are available in conjunction with the
following "Fun Ship"
departures from New York:
* Eight-Day Caribbean Voyages - Carnival
Legend is operating unique round-trip eight-day Caribbean cruises now
through Oct. 12, 2003. The program features three different tropical
destinations - San Juan, St. Thomas/St. John and Tortola/Virgin Gorda.
* Seven-Day Bermuda Cruises - Carnival Pride
will operate a series of seven week-long Bermuda sailings July 16 to Aug.
27, 2003. Voyages will include four days docked at historic King's Wharf, a
centuries-old port city.
* Four- and Five-Day Canada Cruises -
Carnival Victory will operate the line's popular four- and five-day
round-trip Canada cruises June 23 - Sept. 1, 2003. Four-day cruises call at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, while five-day cruises visit Halifax and Saint John,
New Brunswick.
* Seven-day Fall Foliage Cruises - Carnival
Victory will operate four seven-day "fall foliage" cruises departing each
Saturday Sept. 6 - 27, 2003, featuring Boston; Portland, Maine; and Sydney
