Starting next month, travelers can book luxury vacations with Crystal Yacht Cruises, the most innovative project from the world's most awarded cruise line. With the Crystal Esprit venturing into new waters on its inaugural winter voyage, Crystal Cruises is now presenting its complete itineraries and fares for 2016 through early 2018. The routes will initially be available exclusively to Crystal Society members, but will be open to all travelers starting September 1st.
The new routes offer immersive itineraries in warm waters, heading to remote and coveted locations rarely reached by Crystal's larger cruise ships. The extravagant yacht—equipped for adventure both onboard and ashore—will be based in ports never before visited by Crystal's acclaimed ocean-going vessels, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.
On its seven-day itineraries, Crystal Esprit will take you to breathtaking locations along the Adriatic coast of Abu Dhabi, the Seychelles, Oman, and Dubai, offering guests the very best of these destinations. The yacht's first guests will sail from December 23, 2015, on a round-trip route from Mahé/Victoria, Seychelles, with visits to neighboring islands. The yacht's inaugural voyage features a pre- and post-New Year's cruise in Dubai, with three or four nights' accommodation at the Dubai Taj Hotel, and guests will be able to enjoy spectacular fireworks displays.
“One of the most exciting new features Crystal Esprit offers our guests is itineraries filled with destinations that a large cruise ship hasn’t been able to visit before,” says Crystal President and CEO Edie Rodriguez. “The Crystal Esprit sailing experience will take our travelers to places of great beauty and spectacular culture, in a more intimate setting.”
