General Information

Welcome

No other part of the world is so richly embellished in history, culture, and spectacular scenery as in Europe. Your cruise vacation will take you to some of the most exciting ports in Europe. The days ashore present an invitation to adventure, education, and enjoyment. Organized Shore Excursions give you the opportunity to explore the many fascinating places you will want to see. To ensure the best possible sightseeing, Celebrity Cruises has planned a varied program of excursions ranging from simple to sophisticated, in tune with existing conditions in each port. These excursions are arranged and operated by independent agencies, with experienced guides to escort you. This brochure lists the descriptions of the available Shore Excursions at each port of call. Most Shore Excursions may be purchased in advance. Certain excursions are limited in the total number of participants; therefore, for your convenience, we recommend you advance purchase. Also, please note that all tour duration times are approximate and can change without prior notice.

General Information

When should I reserve my Shore Excursions?This brochure contains brief descriptions of tours available. Please book your excursions as soon as possible since some shore excursions can accommodate only a limited number of participants. Tours are sold on a first-come, first serve basis and we recommend that you purchase them in advance of your cruise in order to avoid disappointment. An order form is included with this brochure. Celebrity Cruises must receive the order form and payment at least 20 days before sailing. You will be notified if a tour of your choice is not available. On board, you may purchase tours through the interactive TV system in your stateroom (if available), by booking form dropped at the excursion desk or directly at the Shore Excursion Office during the hours advertised in the ships daily program.

How can I book shore excursions in advance via the Internet?You can purchase your shore excursions online by visiting our website, www.celebrity.com at any time. To pre-book an excursion, you will need your cruise reservation number (obtained from your travel agent or reservation agent), ship name, and sailing date. Once you have completed your purchase, an immediate recap of the selected tours will be provided along with a final e-mail confirmation when your credit card purchase is approved. Your purchased tour ticket(s) will be delivered to you in your cabin. Kindly note that you have up to 4 days prior to your sail date to purchase your shore excursions online. Once within the 4-day sail date deadline, the booking system is closed and tours are no longer available for pre-booking. From this point, all guests must book their excursions on board the vessel on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your stateroom attendant will deliver your purchased ticket(s) to your cabin on the evening of embarkation. If you do not receive your tickets in your stateroom, please inquire at the Shore Excursion Office as soon as possible.

What is a Tender Port of Call?There are some ports where the ship remains at anchor. Either the ship's boats (tenders) or local boats will be used to transport you back and forth between the ship and shore. Tender ports are indicated on the itinerary pages.

What do Shore Excursions include?Shore Excursions include transportation according to the itinerary, meals, refreshments, guides, and entrance fees as indicated. Fares for Shore Excursions are subject to change without notice. All prices quoted are based on tariffs and exchange rates current at the time of printing, and are subject to increase with or without previous notice consequent upon any increase in the basic tariff and/or exchange fluctuations, which may accrue prior to commencement of the tours. Prices of shore excursions are quoted per person and generally include available local transportation, ranging from coaches, taxis, limousines, and boats. Meals and local taxes are included where specified. Where tours are operated by car, 2 to 3 persons are allocated to each vehicle. Prices do not include any expenses incurred in returning to the ship should it be elected to leave the group before the tour is completed.

When and where do Shore Excursions depart?Most tours will meet in a lounge on board the ship prior to departing. When the ship is at anchor, staff will be on hand to assist you to the departure point. Timings have been established according to information received from the local Agents but are subject to alterations should the vessels arrival time at the port be delayed or circumstances arise whereby the itinerary for a particular excursion must, necessarily, be amended. Guests should be mindful of the fact that at ports where the ship lies at anchor, the afternoon excursions commence from the dockside, not the ship. Guests should, therefore, allow at least 30 minutes for the tender ride to shore. When booking more than one tour in a day, please allow at least 60 minutes between the return of the first tour and the departure of the second tour. Tour departure times may vary from those listed on the order form, especially in ports where the ship must tender guests ashore. Please check your tour tickets for the time and location of departure. No announcements for the tours will be made on board the ship.

Is it possible to miss the Ship?All guests are required to be back aboard ship no later than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time, which is listed in the Daily Program and posted at the gangway. The scheduling of all Shore Excursions conforms to this requirement. If you leave a tour en route; however, it will be your responsibility to secure transportation and return to the pier on time. If for any reason a ships excursion is delayed, the ship will be notified and await the tours return.

What type of transportation is used for Shore Excursions?Standards of transport vary considerably; however, Shore Excursions utilize the best quality transportation possible in each port. Air-conditioned vehicles are not always available nor do all tour buses have restroom facilities on board. Please note that some countries have local restrictions and/or zoning laws that prohibit the use of the on board facilities and prohibit the idling of engines while parked at the various venues. The air-conditioning systems may not be to North American standards. Please also bear in mind that cars, taxis or mini-buses may be used in some ports where coaches are not available or are limited.

What if I wish to take the same coach as my family or friends?Guests wishing to travel with friends should proceed to the point of departure as indicated on your shore excursion tickets, as this will help the tour staff to allocate space in the same vehicle.

What if I wish to tour on my own?Guests who do not join these prearranged shore excursions must, therefore, rely on whatever transportation equipment might be available, and they are advised that the drivers are not under supervision. Such drivers may not be informed of the sailing hour of the ship and it is not certain that they will follow routes that are more desirable. In addition, considering the limited transportation facilities in some ports, relief cars may not be obtainable in case of breakdowns along the road. Tours are the best way of seeing the country during a stay at a cruise port of call and they have been arranged so the guests see as much of interest as possible. Refunds for independent tour arrangements will not be provided in the event of cancelled/missed ports.

Will transportation be available from the ship to city centers?Many ports are not located in the city center. For the convenience of guests, a shuttle bus service has been arranged (for a nominal fee) in those ports (where applicable) that are located approximately 1 mile or more away from the closest city center and do not have adequate local transportation available. This service is set up to complement local transportation, and guests are welcome to utilize local services, when and where available. Details of which ports will have a shuttle service will be advised on board the ship.

How should I tip our Guide/Driver?Extending a gratuity to your guide or driver is strictly optional; however, in some countries, these personnel may anticipate that if you are pleased with their services, you will reward them in a monetary way. A commonly accepted guideline is USD $3.00 per person for a half-day tour and USD $5.00 per person for a full-day tour.

How can I find out more about the ports we'll be visiting?During your cruise, informative Port Explorer videos will be shown on a selected television channel in your stateroom. A Port Explorer pamphlet with general information and a city map highlighting Places of Interest will also be delivered to your cabin. For additional independent information, please consult the onboard Discover Shopping Guide.

Will I miss meals when I go ashore?Most tour departure times complement the ships meal service hours, so you can enjoy your meal aboard and then go ashore. However, if you take more than one tour in a day, your return on board may not coincide with meal hours. You will be informed of meal times before arrival in each port. Full day tours include meals where indicated.

What should I wear?Some countries may have more conservative ideas about dress than you are accustomed. So as not to offend local opinion, it is suggested that you dress conservatively. When visiting places of worship (temples, mosques, etc.), you should avoid wearing shorts, tank tops, or revealing clothing. Guests should wear comfortable walking shoes at all times. When visiting ruins or walking on cobblestone streets, wear rubber-soled shoes. It is also smart to wear a sun hat, protective sunscreen, and sunglasses.

Will I have time to shop?Whenever possible, shopping time has been allocated within the framework of the excursions. However, tours are not designed for shopping

and time is limited.

How do I pay for Shore Excursions on board?The only way to pay for Shore Excursions on board is through your shipboard credit system for which you sign up after boarding the ship. *Children's tickets are available on some tours for guests aged 4 years to 12 years (inclusive). Guests aged 13 and over will be charged the adult price. A parent or guardian must accompany guests under 18 years of age. Infants 3 years and under will be carried free of charge, subject to them not occupying a seat.

Prices included herein are subject to change at any time. We suggest booking your excursions at www.celebrity.com for current prices.How strenuous are the Shore Excursions in each port of call?Most of the cities you will be visiting during your cruise vacation were built without regard for the modern conveniences and freedoms we may take for granted today. They offer quaint, narrow, cobblestone streets, and large bustling walkways that have been in existence long before the advent of motorized transportation. To preserve their antiquity, many cities and old towns are pedestrian-only, and may not be conveniently accessible for guests with mobility impairments. All of the Shore Excursions require some degree of mild, moderate, or strenuous walking. Likewise, venues that have grand entryways, multiple stories, and sprawling gardens, make stair-climbing a necessity. To assist our guests, we have rated each Shore Excursion within this brochure by the amount of walking and stair climbing needed to fully participate in the excursion as indicated by the tour description. The Shore Excursions presented in this brochure require the guests to use a coach or other forms of transfer which will require you to step up 2 to 3 steps, approximately 10 inches high each. Most (but not all) coaches used can accommodate collapsible wheelchairs to be stored in the luggage compartment underneath the coach. However, it should be noted that escorts, drivers, guides, and shipboard staff are not obliged to lift guests into the vehicles. Lift-vans and/or coaches are not available in all ports of call. Tendering may preclude guests in wheelchairs from going ashore at certain ports of call. For further information, please check with the Shore Excursion Office on board immediately upon arrival. Due to the various celebrations taking place during the year 2009, kindly note that certain circumstances may arise where the tour content or itinerary may have to be altered without prior notice. This is beyond the control of either the local tour operator or Celebrity Cruises Inc.

Please note there are certain excursions that for safety reasons, age, weight, and/or height restrictions apply. The individual vendors impose these restrictions and Celebrity Cruises must comply accordingly. Guests wishing activity type tours (i.e. biking, kayaking, hiking, etc.) should be in excellent health and make themselves aware of the physical, age, and fitness requirements before making a value judgment as to whether or not to participate. Any guest with limitations, who are pregnant, who have had recent surgery, or are taking prescription drugs, should check with the excursion office before booking any activity type tours. By booking the excursion, you are also confirming that you and your party are in good physical and mental condition and have no history of seizures, dizziness, fainting, heart conditions or respiratory problems. You also confirm that no one is taking medicine that carries a warning about impairment of physical or mental abilities. For the comfort of all our guests, smoking is not permitted aboard any sightseeing vehicle or transport.

An unforgettable sight, the Canal is 4 miles long and 72 feet wide and was built with sloping sides, which reach a height of approximately 230 feet. The depth of the water in the canal is approximately 24 feet. Although many attempted to construct a canal in this location, success was not found until the 19th century.

During the cruise, local mezes and snacks will be served. After the cruise, disembark at Isthmia pier and continue to Ancient Corinth, one of the most important towns in antiquity. Corinth, built at the foot of the famous Acrocorinthos Hill (altitude 575 meters), served as a mighty acropolis or citadel in times of mythology. This ancient city not only led the way for Athens and the wider territory of Greece but for the entire Mediterranean world. The renowned Corinthian capital, which still adorns public buildings around the world, had its origins there (Callimachus, 5th century BC). The long and extremely interesting history of this city includes the time of St. Paul (50 AD), who visited the city twice and founded the Church of Corinth. The featured venues on this tour are the Apollo Temple, Fountain of Glauke, Spring of Periander, and the remains of the beautifully paved 25-foot wide Lechaion Road.

KD30 - Land of ProphecyPRICE: ADULT: 49.00 / CHILD: 29.00 USDDURATION: 4 Hours 30 Minutes Approx.

Departing from the port you will have 45 minutes drive along the Aegean cost, north towards Claros. Claros is a prophecy center of Colophon, one of the twelve Ionic cities. It is considered the most important center for prophecies and is proved to be a center of magnetic energy and a center of spiritualism. Claros is built between two cities; Colophon and Notion. The Temple of Apollo here was a very important center of prophecy, as were the temples in Delphi and Didyma. The oldest information about this sacred site goes back to the sixth and seventh centuries BC as read in the Homeric Hymns. A sacred cave near the Claros Temple of Apollo was an important site of worship during both the Hellenistic and Roman eras. There is evidence that in earlier times there seemed to exist a cult to the worship of Cybele. Cybele was the pagan goddess of the mountains and caves.

The earliest information about the functioning of the Temple of Apollo in Claros dates back to the time of Alexander the Great, 300 BC. According to the Greek historian Pausanias (writing centuries after Alexander), in his dream Alexander was told that he would build a large new city at the base of Mt. Pagos (Kadifekale). After this dream Alexander consulted the Apollo oracle at Claros and asked him to interpret the dream. Alexander began the new Smyrna after the oracle gave him approval to proceed. Many additional monuments were erected during the Roman period (Pompey, Lucullus, Quintus and Cicero); several took their place upon earlier Hellenistic foundations

The archeological excavations at Claros that have taken place since 1988, such as the sanctuary of Apollo, have demonstrated that there have been organized pagan rituals practiced in the area since the 10th century BC. The first known example of

religious construction is a round altar dating back to the late 7th century BC. Claros has the only sanctuary in the Greek world that clearly shows the manner in which the priest performed their animal sacrifices. After touring the ancient ruins, you will have the opportunity, to have your fortune told in one of the oldest fortune telling centers of the ancient world. The tour will continue with a short drive to local handicraft center for refreshments and snacks where you can have a coffee while enjoying the production of the handmade rugs or while chatting with the locals in the handicraft village.

Unlike the commercial city of Pompeii, Herculaneum was a seaside resort. Dating back to the 4th century BC, the city was thought to have been founded by the legendary Hercules. This elite Roman resort was devastated by the same volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii in 79 AD. Unlike the ash and lava that devastated Pompeii, Herculaneum was covered by a torrent of mud, which protected the ruins from atmospheric agents and illegal excavators. The site was discovered by accident in the early 1700's when a well was being dug and workmen struck a stone pavement, the stage of the city's theater. Serious excavations began under Mussolini but only about eight blocks have been excavated. The rest is covered not only by rock but also by a dense modern neighborhood.
