Horizon's Edge Casino Cruises Launches from Miami

MIAMI -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Horizon's Edge, New England's premier casino and entertainment cruise line, announced today its launch from the Bayside Market Place in Miami. Beginning today, the S.S. Horizon's Edge will set sail from the Miami port providing residents and visitors to South Florida with an upscale, high-quality Las Vegas-style casino experience.

Since 1999, Horizon's Edge has operated casino cruise ships from Lynn and Gloucester, Mass. Now, to take advantage of the warm year-round weather in South Florida, it has permanently moved one of its ships to sail from Miami.

"Horizon's Edge is excited to bring our unique casino cruise experience to South Florida," said David Zion, chief executive officer, Horizon's Edge Casino Cruises. "We're confident that South Floridians and visitors to Miami will find the Horizon's Edge a completely different experience than previous casino cruises based in Miami."

The S.S. Horizon's Edge is a 186-foot ship that accommodates more than 570 people including staff and crew. It will sail twice-a-day, seven days-a-week with day cruises from 11 AM to 4 PM. Evening cruises will sail from 7 PM to 12 AM Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday until 1 AM.

Passengers can enjoy an international menu of gourmet food prepared by chefs from the Culinary Institute and live entertainment and dancing every night. The casino includes more than 200 slot machines with $0.05, $0.25, $1.00 and $5.00 denominations with an average of 90 percent payouts, the highest in South Florida.

In addition, a wide variety of Las Vegas-style table games are available including Blackjack, Craps, Let-It-Ride Poker, Roulette and 3-Card Poker.

All passengers on the S.S. Horizon's Edge will have the opportunity to join the "Player's Edge Player's Club," which is a tracking system offering rewards to all players based on their level of play. All passengers will earn rewards through the program.

"Over the last six years, we've built a Las Vegas-style casino experience unparalleled by other one-day gaming ships in the U.S.," said Tom Groom, general partner, Horizon's Edge Casino Cruises. "We welcome passengers to experience the Horizon's Edge difference."
