ROYAL CARIBBEAN ANNOUNCES
NEW 2011-12 DEPLOYMENT FOR MARINER OF THE SEAS
Mariner of the Seas to Augment Record-setting Europe Deployment in 2011
MIAMI, April 22, 2010 – Royal Caribbean International today announced the redeployment of
Mariner of the Seas, which will take effect in January 2011. Mariner of the Seas will offer a short South
America season before debuting in the Mediterranean as Royal Caribbean’s record-setting 11th ship
in the region for summer 2011. Mariner of the Seas will homeport at Rome (Civitavecchia) from
March through October 2011, replacing Splendour of the Seas, which will now homeport in Venice,
offering 10- and 11-night Greek Isles and Turkey itineraries for the season. Mariner of the Seas will
then return to North America for the 2011-12 winter season, offering seven-night Western
Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, Texas, replacing Voyager of the Seas. As a result, Voyager of the
Seas will herald Royal Caribbean’s return to New Orleans in winter 2011-12, offering vacationers
another Gulf Coast port to embark on a memorable seven-night Western Caribbean cruise.
The Mexican Riviera has traditionally been an important market for Royal Caribbean
International, with the Port of Los Angeles and Mexican local, state and federal government
agencies, and their private sectors playing a supportive role as valued partners. While Royal
Caribbean International looks forward to returning to the region in the future, Mariner of the Seas will
sail its final round-trip Mexican Riviera itinerary from Los Angeles on January 9, 2011.
Guests currently booked on Mariner of the Seas’ Mexican Riviera sailings from January 16,
2011, and onward will be contacted with the following offer. Until May 6, 2010, affected guests can
opt for a full refund of any fares paid, or enjoy $200 onboard credit per stateroom ($400 per suite
category stateroom) when they rebook their vacation, at the same fare or lower prevailing fare, on a
Mariner of the Seas sailing before January 16, 2011, or on the same 2011 departure date aboard Voyager
of the Seas, sailing from Galveston. Travel agents also will receive a $50 bonus commission for
rebooking affected clients, whose names and deposits have been submitted, to these Mariner of the
Seas and Voyager of the Seas sailings. More information is available at

On January 16, 2011, Mariner of the Seas will reposition from Los Angeles on a 16-night
itinerary to Valparaiso, Chile, followed by a 14-night voyage that cruises the Straits of Magellan and
Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America to Sao Paulo (Santos), Brazil. The ship will then
offer a short Brazilian cruise season, before crossing the Atlantic to debut in Europe at its new
seasonal homeport of Rome (Civitavecchia), where Mariner of the Seas will sail seven-night Western
Mediterranean and 12-night Mediterranean Holy Land and Mediterranean Egypt itineraries. In
November 2011, Mariner of the Seas will debut at Galveston to offer Texas vacationers two roundtrip
seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries through April 2012. Mariner of the Seas’ new 2011 Europe
and South America, and 2011-12 Western Caribbean itineraries, Splendour of the Seas’ new 2011
Europe itineraries, and Voyager of the Seas’ new 2011-12 Western Caribbean itineraries will be opened
for booking in the near future.
Guests aboard Mariner of the Seas’ new 2011 Holy Land itineraries can choose a variety of
shore excursion options, at an additional charge, that visit some of the most sacred sites in Israel,
including Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and many
others. “Grand Overland” takes guests on the most comprehensive overview of this fascinating
region with an overnight stay in Jerusalem. On the Egypt cruises, “Grand Egypt Tour” offers guests
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the awe-inspiring Pyramids and mysterious Sphinx at Cairo,
and the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Guests also should not miss the largest collection of Roman
ruins in the eastern Mediterranean and the iconic Library of Celsius on “Best of Ephesus.”
Voyager-class Mariner of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas are two of the world’s 10 largest and
most innovative cruise ships at sea. Both ships feature the cruise line’s iconic rock-climbing wall, the
Studio B ice-skating rink, nine-hole mini-golf course, an in-line skating track, a full-size basketball
court, and the Royal Promenade, a boulevard of boutiques, restaurants and lounges and bars.
Voyager of the Seas features the cruise line’s signature Portofino Italian restaurant, while Mariner of the
Seas offers a second specialty restaurant option, Chops Grille steakhouse.
Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 21 ships currently in service and
one under construction. The line also offers unique cruise tour land packages in Alaska, Canada,
Dubai, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand.
