At Celebrity Cruises, the objective is a simple one: present an incomparable cruise experience aboard ships of uncompromising style and sophistication. That is why Celebrity has enlisted the talents of world-renowned ship architects and designers to create a truly extraordinary fleet. Every ship reflects meticulous attention to detail, yet each vessel has its own distinctive style, with its own uniquely inviting public rooms and social spaces. Like observation lounges that transform into discos at night. And intimate lounges where you can sample a hand-rolled cigar. From the moment you step aboard, Celebrity's furnishings, decor and air of understated elegance create a festive, carefree environment to enjoy among new friends, together sharing the Celebrity experience.

Cruise revenues for the third quarter of 2002 were 1.4 percent lower than last year primarily because of a significant decline in the number of guests purchasing air transportation from the company and lower cruise ticket prices. This was partially offset by an increase in cruise capacity of 2.2 percent. Net revenue yield (net revenue per available berth day after deducting the cost of air transportation and travel agent commissions) was down less than 1 percent compared to the previous year's third quarter. This was considerably better than the company's earlier forecast of down 3 to 5 percent primarily due to the strengthening of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar and stronger than expected pricing on close-to-sailing bookings during the quarter.
