Cunard Cruise Line
"On December 31, 1999, Cunard will usher in its 159th New Years at sea
with the unerring elegance for which we are so well known," said Peter J.
Bates, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Cunard. "Across
two centuries, we have perfected the art of cruising. Our millennium
celebrations have been designed to give discriminating consumers the
opportunity to bridge the past and future by visiting exotic and beautiful
lands in ultimate, elegant style, and with the fanfare befitting a millennial
event."
Queen Elizabeth 2: Travellers who choose the 17-day holiday cruise onboard
the legendary QE2 will enjoy the opulence of the fabled era of grand ocean
liners, while basking in the tropical embrace of the Caribbean. After visits
to Cozumel and Costa Rica, passengers will transit the Panama Canal, then
travel to some of the most beautiful Caribbean ports of call, including
Oranjestad, Aruba, St. George’s, Granada and on to Barbados for a
spectacular millennium celebration off the coast.

P & O Cruises
The P&O Cruises' superliners Oriana and Arcadia will sail into the 21st
Century in style.
Applications are now being accepted for the priority registration for the
Millennium cruises.
A £500 per person deposit is all that is required to secure your registration
and you can make a firm booking when details of these celebration cruises are
released later in the 1988.
To join the party which will not be repeated for another 1,000 years, P&O
is advising those interested to register as soon as possible as these are sure
to be the hottest tickets in town.
P&O has additional reasons to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000. In
April that year, a new 76,000-ton will enter service and the highly acclaimed
Oriana will celebrate her fifth birthday. Full Millennium fares and
itineraries for Oriana and Arcadia are expected to be released in late June,
1998. At that stage those on the registration list will be asked to confirm
their bookings and pay the normal 10 per cent deposit on the fare.

Union Castle Line
Sail into the the next century: For the first time in almost 25 years, a Union-Castle
Line cruise ship is to embark upon a voyage to Cape Town, South Africa,
returning via East Africa and the Spice Islands of the Indian Ocean. A voyage
made so often by her many famous predecessors. And now, for 750 fortunate
passengers, the voyage of the century.
The Victoria, chosen by Union-Castle for her resemblance to the romantic
"Mailships" of old, will be travelling to the imposing vistas of Table
Mountain and the shores of Africa. Cruising across the deep, blue seas of the
Indian Ocean, Victoria will be visiting an array of rare island treasures such
as Nosy-Be and Mayotte, seldom ever seen on a modern cruise ship's itinerary.
And what better way for one of the most renowned names in shipping to
celebrate its Centenary than by celebrating it with a Voyage
into the new Millennium?
