International Cruise & Excursions Enters Alliance with CSA Travel Protection

Phoenix-Based Vacation Group and Travel Insurer Partner to Provide Unique Cruise & Vacation Club

PHOENIX (November 15, 2005) – International Cruise & Excursions, Inc. (ICE) and CSA Travel Proection have partnered to create a unique cruise and vacation club through ICE Vacations that automatically provides all members with travel insurance on all cruises and vacations.

Travel insurance protects against losses caused by trip interruption, trip cancellation and other unique risks associated with travel such as natural disasters, illness and acts of terrorism. The coverage is effective for a term that starts before and continues throughout the insured trip. Unlike other travel insurance providers, CSA includes identity theft protection in their coverage. By incorporating the CSA benefit portfolio as a standard feature in the new ICE Vacation Club, ICE – a recognized leader in cruise and travel industry innovations – is pioneering another new element in travel clubs.

"We're pleased to establish this entirely new partnership with CSA insured vacationers and are excited about the unique benefits that will be afforded," said John Rowley, chairman and chief executive officer of ICE. "Today's world, with its complexity and uncertain times, requires a new approach to the integration of vacation insurance benefits. ICE has historically taken the lead in the integration of vacation insurance as a primary member benefit for all cruises and vacations provided to ICE members. The new and unique ICE Vacations Club takes us even further by providing peace of mind for all members who book their cruises and vacations with a pre-paid insurance benefit fully integrated."

"Our fast-paced world demands that more security be provided to active vacationers," stated Les Maine, chairman and chief executive officer of CSA. "We are pleased to partner with ICE to provide the next generation in cruise and vacation products and services. ICE sets the standard as a leading-edge, innovative vacation and leisure company, and I am delighted to announce our partnership."
