MAJESTIC AMERICA LINE JOINS CRUISE LINES INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla (May 31, 2007)
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) announced today that Majestic America Line has joined its membership. Based in Seattle, Majestic America Line is America’s largest river and coastal cruise company.

The line operates seven U.S.-flagged vessels in three distinct regions of America – the Mississippi, Ohio and tributary rivers; Pacific Northwest’s Columbia, Snake and Willamette rivers; and Alaska’s Inside Passage.

“We are pleased to welcome Majestic America Line into our cruise line membership, further increasing the diversity of our member lines,” said Terry Dale, president and CEO of CLIA. The cruise line membership of CLIA now totals 22 and represents more than 97 percent of the cruise capacity marketed in North America.

Majestic America Line, formed through the combination of American West Steamboat Company and the vessels of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, is a division of Ambassadors Cruise Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambassadors International, Inc. Together with Ambassadors International Cruise Group, Ambassadors Cruise Group operates both Majestic America Line and Windstar Cruises, a leader in luxury small ship cruising.

“We are particularly excited to provide this esteemed industry association with our unique perspective on small-ship and niche-cruising,” commented David Giersdorf, president, Majestic America Line. “CLIA’s tireless education and training efforts bring tremendous value to its travel agency members, and we look forward to strengthening those relationships and working together to promote the cruise industry.”

The company’s U.S.-crewed vessels provide guests with “the perfect setting to discover indigenous wildlife, natural wonders and engage in the stories, history and art that these legendary rivers have inspired over the years.”

In 2007, Majestic America Line introduced a comprehensive onboard enrichment program that will bring more than 28 regional experts, including famed photographers, award-winning historians, compelling story tellers and wildlife experts aboard its more than 200 voyages. In addition, the line enhanced its culinary program to create a dining experience that celebrates the distinctive regional flavors of America.
