Press Release of the Day: The "W" Word Edition



Thanks to Joe for pointing me to this one: Whoopi entertains the ladies. He also raises the obvious question: Wait, there's more than one lesbian cruise line?

WHOOPI GOLDBERG SETS SAIL WITH OLIVIA CRUISE LINE

Goldberg To Perform On World’s Largest Lesbian Cruise Line


San Francisco, CA (February 16, 2006) —Olivia, the world’s largest and best-known provider of travel services for lesbians, their families and friends, has signed Whoopi Goldberg to perform on an upcoming cruise this April.

“We’re thrilled to have Whoopi on board to entertain our guests,” said Judy Dlugacz, President and Founder of Olivia. “Whoopi is not only an amazing performer, but she also represents the type of empowered woman we cater to. Her comedic sensibility, ideology and activism within our community make her a perfect fit for Olivia. She is a beloved performer in our community.”

The Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Grammy and Golden Globe winner will perform her brilliantly funny one-woman-show on a week-long cruise aboard the Holland America’s “Ms. Zuiderdam” embarking in April 15-22, 2006 from Ft. Lauderdale and traveling to such beautiful destinations as San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tortola and St. Maarten. More than 1,800 passengers will travel in luxury and style aboard the refurbished vista-class “Ms. Zuiderdam.” Special guest, tennis great Martina Navratilova will also join Whoopi on this cruise, providing a tennis clinic and lecture.

Entertainment on previous Olivia Cruises Line has included top entertainers such as Lily Tomlin, Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, k.d. lang, Wynonna Judd, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, Kathleen Madigan, Kate Clinton, Suzanne Westenhoefer and the cast of Showtime’s “The L Word”.
