Celebrity Eclipse Returns From Repatriation Mission

Nearly 2,200 Stranded Travellers' Wish to Return Home Granted

LONDON, April 23, 2010 - Celebrity Eclipse, the latest GBP500-million premium cruise
ship from Celebrity Cruises, has returned to her homeport in Southampton from
Bilbao, Spain, where she welcomed approximately 2,200 holidaymakers stranded
by the travel disruption caused by the volcanic eruption in Iceland.

The sailing replaced the previously-planned two-day
promotional cruise for travel partners and press from April 22-24.

Dan Hanrahan, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises, said:
"We're proud of our tradition of planning and implementing meaningful and
memorable ship launches, but the launch of Celebrity Eclipse is truly unique.
The atmosphere has been fantastic amongst the guests and our crew. Everyone
feels they are part of something truly special."

Celebrity Cruises worked with tour operators Thomson, First
Choice, Thomas Cook, Travel Counsellors and the Co-operative Travel Trading
Group to repatriate as many of their customers as possible. "We appreciate
everything Thomson, First Choice, Thomas Cook, Travel Counsellors and the
Co-Operative Travel Group did to make the very quick turn around in Bilbao
work so well" said Hanrahan.

In addition, Celebrity made 50 staterooms available to Britons
identified as having an urgent need to return to the UK. The travellers were
organised with assistance from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's crisis
team in Madrid.

Launch plans for Celebrity Eclipse will now continue as
planned with naming ceremonies in Southampton presided over by Godmother Emma
Pontin, ocean-racing yachtswoman and breast cancer survivor, on 24 April
2010. The naming celebration will coincide with a power walk to raise funds
for the breast cancer charity Walk the Walk. The Celebrity SunWalk will see
men and women in decorated bras walking a 5km and 10km route through
Southampton, culminating in front of the new ship, all to raise both
awareness and money.

Hanrahan added: "We are now looking forward to Saturday's
fundraising walk and naming festivities with a large audience of primarily
UK-based travel trade partners and press."

Celebrity Eclipse is the first of Celebrity Cruises' ships to
be based out of Southampton, and will welcome its first paying guests on 26
April 2010 prior to offering cruises through the summer to the Mediterranean
and Canary Islands.
