Celebrity Cruises Exotics 2008

Mount Kilauea, Hawaii
(Scenic Cruising)
The Big Island has grown over 500 acres,
thanks to the active nature of Mount
Kilauea, Hawaii’s youngest volcano. This
molten masterpiece also happens to be one
of the world’s most active and likes to show
off when the sun goes down. You’ll have a
front-row seat to this nighttime spectacle,
watching as the fiery lava flows blaze down
the mountainside as your cruise ship glides
by. You’ll never think of fireworks the same
way again.

San Diego, California
Originally settled by a contingent of
Franciscan friars in the mid-18th century,
San Diego has flourished to become one of
America’s largest and most attractive cities.
Bordered by the Anza-Borrego Desert, the
Laguna Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, it’s
blessed with a year-round Mediterranean
climate, which only adds to the attraction
of its 70 miles of beaches.

Papeete, Tahiti,
French Polynesia
The capital city of French Polynesia’s largest

Polynesia at Musée Gauguin and perhaps

worn by his beautiful models in his
impressionistic masterpieces — at
the busy Marché Municipale.

River, or just relaxing on the beach. As for
encounters with the local scene on land, the
Elms Mission House offers a close look at
colonial architecture.
