Candice Cain
Cruise Freeks, an online forum for cruise aficionados, has partnered with PRT Travel to present a star-studded cruise on the brand new Celebrity Eclipse of Celebrity Cruise Lines. The cruise leaves Southampton, England and has an amazing itinerary that visits Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. The eleven day cruise leaving May 21, 2010, is also a fundraiser for Operation Hope Floats.

Solo artist Shaun Barker is the first of many celebrities to confirm an appearance on this incredible cruise. Born and raised in Brookhaven, NY, Shaun has been singing since he was a young child. His mother, Melanie, was known for her beautiful voice as well, singing in the Mary Immaculate Church Choir. Shaun followed in her footsteps and took his music to a professional level.

Shaun's 2006 debut album, No Hard Feelings, received critical acclaim. The album has been hailed as "a collection of soulful pop rock songs with melodies that won't leave you alone, and stories guaranteed to make you feel something." Shaun is immensely talented, having won first prize for two consecutive weeks on Showtime at the Apollo. Shaun also made it to the judges' table on American Idol in 2006 and recently auditioned for the 2009 America's Got Talent. Currently, Shaun is appearing as the opening act for Linda Eder around the United States.

People that book this cruise through PRT Travel to be a part of the Cruise Freeks group will be in for a terrific experience with Shaun Barker. On May 23, 2010, a private cocktail party will be held on the Celebrity Eclipse where Shaun will give a private concert for those in attendance. he will mix and mingle with the guests, and be available for photos and autographs. As an added bonus, all members of the Cruise Freeks group will receive a CD copy of No Hard Feelings.

Operation Hope Floats is a humanitarian effort that supports the organization HELP (Humanitarian Emergency Logistics & Preparedness Inc.) by providing funds raised from Operation Hope Floats Cruises. These cruises, which are organized through Cruise Freeks and their travel agents, donate at least $25 per cabin booked on each Operation Hope Floats cruise. Passengers on these cruises can make a donation just by taking their vacation.

Registration at Cruise Freeks is absolutely free, and there are many opportunities to win free cabins on the cruises arranged through the forum. More information about this cruise can be found in the Celebrity Eclipse Canary Islands thread, as well as on the Canary Islands Cruise Freeks Official Webpage.
