Proud partners
Royal Caribbean International is proud to be the featured cruise line in this edition of The Cruise Planner. For over 10 years, Royal Caribbean has recognized Cruise Planners as one of our leading vacation partners and we continue to value the professionalism and dedication to excellence that their specialists deliver everyday. In fact, Cruise Planners was recognized as Royal Caribbean International’s Home-based Partner of the Year in 2007 — a well-deserved distinction.

Personal service is one of the most important aspects of any cruise experience. Both Royal Caribbean and Cruise Planners make this a top priority for vacations at sea. Great advice leads to great cruises, and we believe that Royal Caribbean and Cruise Planners make a winning combination.

New places, new ship
Royal Caribbean International has become more international than ever before. We have seven ships sailing in Europe in 2008 and eight ships sailing in Europe in 2009. Our new exotic itineraries include cultural hot spots such as Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and South America. That’s right, the same great Royal Caribbean vacation we offer you in the Caribbean can now be found in countries like China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Argentina and Brazil. Plus, you can discover the exciting outback of Australia! Visit the famed Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbor and the rest of the land down under. There are so many new and exciting places to see on a Royal Caribbean ship, we just don’t have the space in this article to name them all. Be sure to ask your Cruise Planner Specialist for more information on our exciting new ports of call.

More International than ever

We are proud to have just introduced our newest addition to the Royal Caribbean fleet in May 2008, the Independence of the Seas. She will make her debut sailing in Europe and then will arrive in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. in November to sail 6-night Western and 8-night Eastern Caribbean itineraries. Like her sister ships, the Freedom of the Seas and the Liberty of the Seas, the Independence of the Seas will feature the world’s first

surfing at sea with the FlowRider® wave simulator, which is part of the
H20 Zone, a spectacular water-oriented play area.

A walk in the park
Royal Caribbean has been the leader in ship innovations and with our Genesis class of ship we announced our first reveal: Central Park. Central Park is a revolutionary design in which the center of the ship is open to the sky and features lush, tropical grounds spanning the length of a football field. The first of seven neighborhoods that will encompass the ship launching in

late 2009, Central Park is just the beginning of Royal Caribbean’s promise to provide our guests with more choices, more amenities and more ‘WOW’ experiences to create the perfect cruise vacation.

Central Park will provide an upscale experience with casual and formal dining, entertainment, boutique shopping, and plenty of lush, tranquil park space for a stroll or people watching. And for the first time ever, we’re happy to present balcony staterooms to our guests, which will open to both the flourishing park below and the open sky above.

Where do you want to go first?
Whether you choose to sail Royal Caribbean to Europe, Alaska, Asia, South America, Mexico, the Caribbean or any of our other popular itineraries, your first “port of call” should be with a cruise expert like Cruise Planners. We look forward to welcoming you on board in the near future.
