Crystal Cruises announced that its Chairman and CEO, Tom Wolber, will host The President's Cruise aboard the Crystal Serenity this July. The "Vineyards and Views" cruise will depart London on July 29, 2018, bound for Monte Carlo on a 14-day voyage through the vineyards and coastlines of Western Europe, featuring special events and activities hosted by Wolber and his wife, Sharon. During the voyage, guests will attend a presentation by Wolber on the company's outlook, special receptions and dinners, as well as a curated shore excursion in Barcelona, Spain.
“The President’s Cruise is a Crystal tradition that I look forward to with great enthusiasm, as it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with both our loyal customers and those sailing with us for the first time,” commented Wolber. “It’s a pleasure to spend time with Crystal’s best ambassadors, our passengers, as we sail through such a beautiful part of the world.”.
The itinerary follows the French coast with two nights in Bordeaux and one night each in Lisbon and Barcelona, allowing passengers to fully immerse themselves in the rich wine culture of each destination. Crystal Adventures on land is another highlight, offering visits to renowned wineries in Médoc and St-Émilion, cooking classes and winemaking instruction in Bordeaux, a special tasting in Lisbon's harbor, and an exploration of traditional tapas in Barcelona. In addition, there are numerous excursions catering to diverse tastes, from an adventure in Portugal's Sintra mountains to the castle gardens and manor houses of Guernsey.
