FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            CONSENT SOLICITATION AT EUROPA CRUISES REMAINS UNDECIDED;
                   COURT STATUS QUO ORDER KEEPS CURRENT BOARD

Rocky River, Ohio, June 5, 2002 - The Committee of Concerned Europa Stockholders
(Committee) announced today that the Delaware Chancery Court has issued an Order
maintaining the current makeup of the four member Board of Directors of Europa
Cruises Corporation (OTCBB: KRUZ) until the Court's determination of the proper
composition of the Board.

The Court's Order was entered in the recent lawsuit brought by the Committee
concerning the Board's composition. The Court's Order effectively prevents an
attempt by the Company's president, Deborah Vitale, to prematurely seat a new
individual as a director BEFORE the written consents from one of the two pending
consent solicitations regarding the Company can be certified by the Court. The
Court's Order has no affect, however, on the Committee's pending consent
solicitation, which seeks to remove Vitale from the Board and replace her with
seasoned casino executive James Rafferty and which continues to receive and
accept consents from stockholders.

In addition to ruling that the Board of Directors continue to consist of John R.
Duber, James C. Illius, Gregory A. Harrison and Vitale, the Court restricted the
company from engaging in any major contracts, expenditures, personnel changes
and other actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

In addition, the Court ordered Vitale to deliver to the Committee all consents
in her possession concerning the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Committee
review of the ESOP consents obtained through the Court Order has confirmed the
Committee's belief that Vitale improperly voted over 3.4 million shares of the
ESOP in her own favor over the objections of her co-trustee by unilaterally
supporting the consent solicitation that she is a member of (and which seeks to
allow her to maintain control over the Company).

"The Williams group, which Ms. Vitale is a member of, clearly tried to deceive
shareholders into believing the consent solicitation was decided. That is
definitely not the case and the shareholders will still be heard," said Mr.
Duber.

Shareholders are urged to return the WHITE consent card immediately. Even if you
have sent a gold consent card, you have every right to support the Committee's
consent solicitation by signing, dating and mailing the WHITE consent card. If
you have any questions on how to vote your shares, please call our proxy
solicitor: Georgeson Shareholder at 1-866-318-0501.
