Airship Ventures Announces Historic Voyages Between San Francisco and Los Angeles

"This is the first time since the Graf Zeppelin passed through California in 1929 on its round-the-world trip that sightseers have ever had the opportunity to view Central California and Los Angeles from a passenger Zeppelin," noted Airship Ventures Director of Sales Joanne Fedeyko. "Our inaugural California Airship Cruises and Los Angeles Airship Tours are quite literally historic occasions and they exemplify the type of unique experiences our passengers enjoy everywhere we fly."

In addition to a week of California Airship Cruises and Los Angeles Airship Tours, Airship Ventures will continue to offer scenic flights above the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas and continue its most popular promotions; highlights include:

--  Flight-seeing-for-Two: Share an airship adventure and soar above the
    sights with someone special with the limited-time Flight-seeing-for-Two
    promotion. Buy one tour ticket or gift certificate and save 50% on a
    second. Some restrictions apply.

--  Mother's Day Flights: Give mom a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get
    away from it all with an Airship Ventures gift certificate or Mother's Day
    tour. Admire the views with mom on board Eureka, or wave to her from the
    ground as she relaxes at 1,000 feet above San Francisco or Monterey.

About Airship Ventures, Inc.

Founded in 2007 in California, Airship Ventures, Inc. operates the only passenger airship operation in the United States, featuring Eureka, the world's largest airship. At 246 feet in length, the Zeppelin is longer than a Boeing 747 and more than 50 feet longer than the largest blimp. Based out of Moffett Field, Eureka also flies from Oakland and Monterey.

The Zeppelin's spacious cabin comfortably accommodates one pilot, one flight attendant, and 12 passengers with luxury features including oversized panoramic windows, an onboard restroom with window, and a 180-degree rear observation window and "love seat" that wraps the entire aft of the cabin. Using the inert gas helium for lift, and vectored thrust engines for flight, Zeppelin NTs have been flying in Germany and Japan since 1997 with an unparalleled safety record.
