EXPLORATIONS

Find out more about your favorite cruise line, cruise ship, destination and more.

"Twenty years from now, you will be most disappointed by the things you did not do, then by the things you did do.

So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover"

Crystal Cruises

With a winning formula for success, Crystal Cruises consistently ranks among the top luxury properties in the world. The line, in just 20 years, has won an unprecedented number of top awards. Grounded in more than a decade of accolades, Crystal has been voted World's Best by the readers of Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in history.

Crystal Cruises is the recipient of many of the travel industry’s highest awards, including "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" (1996-2009, consecutively) and "Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" (15 years total) in Travel and Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler surveys, respectively. Crystal Cruises has also made the Conde Nast Traveler “Gold List” for 12 consecutive years (1997-2009). Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity feature elegantly appointed staterooms (most with private verandahs), an unprecedented array of dining options (Italian and Asian alternative restaurants as well as casual dining in the Trident Bar on designated nights), award-winning entertainment, a lavish Crystal Spa and Salon adhering to Feng Shui principles, and extensive exercise and sports facilities and instruction.

Key Selling Points

1. Crystal ships have consistently earned top awards.

2. Crystal Cruises’ affluent, multi-generational guests appreciate the renowned Crystal experience distinguished by classic service, abundant space, extensive choices, fine quality and attention to detail.

5. Crystal’s European hotel and dining staff are schooled in the fine art of genteel service.

6. Crystal offers excellent value, competitive rates and group booking discounts.

7. Creative Learning Institute offers enrichment classes with well-known partners.
