As the world's most awarded luxury cruise line, Crystal Cruises surpasses itself each year, crafting unimaginable experiences to satisfy its most discerning passengers. Therefore, in 2018, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will each offer a world cruise, exploring exotic destinations where guests can create magical memories and enjoy unforgettable vacations, from Europe to the Caribbean, passing through Asia and Africa.
This year, for the first time ever, passengers from both the Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity cruise ships will meet in Sydney, Australia, for the White Extravaganza welcome gala. Afterward, they will have the option to transfer ships, creating the first-ever combined cruise of up to 129 days. This means you can begin your journey on one ship and continue on the other if you prefer a different itinerary. Only with Crystal Cruises will it be possible to start your trip on one ship and return home on another. In total, Crystal Cruises offers up to four travel options around the world, tailored to individual preferences.
But the options don't end there. If time constraints prevent a longer getaway, Crystal Cruises offers the possibility of selecting the segments of each of these world cruises that most appeal to each passenger, creating personalized journeys based on individual preferences. From Cape Town to Sydney, for example, with stops in Mauritius and Perth. Or from Manila to Dubai, visiting Singapore and Mumbai in between. Crystal Cruises allows you to design your trip based on the ports of call. In this way, Crystal Cruises stands out from other cruise lines by offering the ultimate personalized travel experience.
In addition, all passengers will enjoy free private car service from the airport to the ship and from the ship to the airport, countless workshops and dozens of lectures with leading experts, an exclusive and varied selection of excursions and activities, two exclusive events during the cruise (in addition to the White Extravaganza) and an onboard credit of up to $2,000 per cabin, among other benefits and amenities.
