Celebrity Cruises' Mercury to Sail from Vancouver in 2007

Miami - (September 14, 2006 ) - To offer guests more time in select ports of call and a better arrival time for viewing Alaska’s breathtaking, ice-blue Hubbard Glacier on Mercury’s seven-night Alaska sailings in 2007, Celebrity Cruises has changed the ship’s port of arrival and departure to Vancouver, B.C.

Guests currently holding reservations with deposits made for Celebrity's Mercury cruises from Seattle between May 4, 2007, and September 14, 2007, will receive a 0 per stateroom onboard credit. Celebrity's Air/Sea department will make the necessary changes for any Air/Sea guests whose air travel is impacted by the shift to Vancouver.

Cruise-only guests who incur a fee due to changing their air reservations will be reimbursed up to 0 per person, providing proof of the air change fee is provided.

The itinerary from Vancouver will feature the same ports of call: Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, Alaska, and including cruises through the Inside Passage and several hours beside Hubbard Glacier.

Celebrity is proactively contacting all travel agents with clients holding reservations affected by this change; however, agents as well as guests with individual or group bookings are welcome to call Celebrity's re-accommodation desk, at 1-888-281-9343.
