All Shook Up With Carnival Cruises
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
Carnival Cruises has announced a first in specialist cruise holidays, with the firm offering the fully-licensed Elvis cruise - a trip dedicated to the King of Rock n Roll.
Hosted by friend-of-the-star Jerry Schilling, the four-day cruise to the Bahamas will give you the chance to put on your blue suede shoes and catch performances from a number of Elvis’s contemporaries and musical descendents, including the Imperials and Ruby Wilson.
Bob Dickinson, president and chief executive officer of Carnival Cruises, said: "This cruise provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Elvis fans to come together and enjoy the exceptional music and memories of one of the most celebrated performing artists of all time, combined with a truly outstanding vacation experience."
Due to set sail on August 30th this year, the cruise includes an Elvis tribute contest with a $10,000 (£5,000) prize, Elvis-themed bingo and questions and answers with the musical guests on the ship - for fans of the King, it’s now or never to book a casual cruise holiday with Carnival Cruises.
The trip takes place on board the Celebration, which has 743 staterooms and a capacity of 1,486 passengers, who no doubt can’t help falling in love with its Endless Summer lounge and Galax-Z dance club.
Virgin Holidays Cruises are leader's in Caribbean cruises, Mediterranean cruises and cruise & stay holidays.
