<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;">Royal Caribbean International is providing guests with more options than  ever before to explore European destinations across 55 ports in 22  countries. Just in time for summer travels, the global cruise line is  touting new shore excursion opportunities that feature the ability to  make private tour arrangements as well as exclusive family-friendly tour  options. Royal Caribbean also will be expanding its existing shore  excursion services by nearly doubling the number of &ldquo;Easy&rdquo; tours for  accessible sight-seeing throughout the 57 unique itineraries currently  available &ndash; soon to be 109 unique itineraries when a record setting 11  Royal Caribbean ships will be deployed in Europe in 2011. Dedicated to  providing unique travel experiences, Royal Caribbean&rsquo;s enhanced  offerings will empower guests to create European cruise vacations that  meet their individual styles, needs and preferences.&nbsp;<br /><br /> For those  guests that enjoy more flexible vacation schedules Royal Caribbean is  introducing new customizable half- or full-day private shore excursions.  Each of the excursions offers guests the opportunity to travel in  private vehicles on their own or with an English-speaking guide to  provide tour commentary and local insight. Featuring the same  convenience and peace of mind that comes with booking Royal Caribbean&rsquo;s  group shore excursions, guests can enjoy the private tours in 13  ports-of-call throughout Egypt, Finland, Greece, Israel, Italy, Sweden  and Turkey, in addition to previously introduced private tours offered  in Russia. For those travelers who do not want to be limited by a  schedule, Royal Caribbean excursion specialists will create custom  arrangements to fit individual styles and interests, or simply provide a  private vehicle for an existing tour. Both private and custom  arrangements accommodate up to 10 people and can be initiated online.&nbsp; <br /><br />As  the leader in family travel, Royal Caribbean continues to cater to  guests of all ages by introducing new hands-on activities that are fun  for children, parents and grandparents alike. To accommodate  multigenerational travels, the global cruise line is debuting new  half-day excursions designed specifically with families in mind.  Examples include gastronomic experiences such as &ldquo;Pizza Making for  Families&rdquo; in Sorrento, Italy,&nbsp; featuring a city tour followed by a pizza  making class and lunch to enjoy the family&rsquo;s culinary creations, as  well as &ldquo;Sea Kayaking&rdquo; in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where guests can explore  the outdoors and admire the historical city walls from a unique  perspective, a kayak at sea level. <br /><br />Royal Caribbean continues to  pioneer accessible cruise travel by introducing 14 new additional &ldquo;easy&rdquo;  tours for a total of 33. Featuring vehicles adapted with access ramps  or lifts when available, new and existing &ldquo;easy&rdquo; shore excursions cater  to individuals who have difficulty walking or standing for extended  periods, or who use wheel chairs full time. European sightseeing is  extended to new bounds for these guests with engaging activities, such  as exploring the quaint town of Trogir from Split, Croatia, wine  tastings in Sardinia, and coach tours highlighting historical landmarks  and local artistry, such as Florence&rsquo;s famed Michelangelo Square and  leather factories.<br />.<br />In addition to enhancing new experiences for  guests, the global cruise line is adding to its contribution to its  destination partners. Royal Caribbean is pre-purchasing Chorus Pass  tickets from the Venetian Chorus Association, a non-profit entity tasked  with safeguarding, conserving and restoring the architectural and  artistic heritage of churches in the city of Venice, to invest in  maintaining the cultural heritage represented in more than 1,000 pieces  of art. Guests onboard Brilliance of the Seas will receive a  complimentary Chorus Pass ticket ($13 value), providing access to 16 of  most important churches in Venice, with the purchase of each Shuttle Bus  Pass. </span></p>
