Exclusive Cruises & Resorts, Inc. (OTCBB:XCLU - news), incorporated in February 1994, is an early stage start
up company dedicated to providing upscale leisure and travel services to the segment of the traveling public that
prefers the more personal holiday experience instead of the mass-market approach of the large cruise/tour operators.

passenger cruise ships and resorts and, ExclusiVacations, Inc. - which markets the company's properties and develops
leads via its club membership and travel services departments.

passengers in 25 outside cabins with private facilities, TVs and air-conditioning. The present market value of
the Acqua Azzurra is estimated to be around $9 million. The ship has a mortgage of $2 million and is presently
completing a $600,000 refit and dry-docking in Miami, Florida. Cruising operations are scheduled to start in the

star boutique hotel. We will be converting 50% of the rooms to timeshares utilizing our unique Club Member program.The
