 Crystal
Cruises
Think of the farthest
corners of the world connected by a smooth and shining
sea. Imagine that a floating luxury resort, filled with
everything you ever could desire, is waiting to carry
you on the journey of your dreams.
At Crystal Cruises, we take pride in navigating that
magical highway of the sea, transporting you to the
best the world has to offer. Your days and nights on
a Crystal cruise are effortless and carefree. Revel
in a wealth of time, a luxurious sense of leisure and
ease; your hours are your own, to spend as you see fit.
Released from the pressure of schedules and routines,
you are free to play, to rest, to mingle and relax -
to allow for the luxury of serendipity. Like the open
sea, each day is limitless. You can chart a course,
then change it at your whim. Let
possibility fill the sails of your imagination and see
what magic might appear. Crystal Cruises gives you space
to stretch out and explore.
We have broad, sunny decks to
stroll and inviting corners to settle into. There are
cozy nooks where you can be alone. You can join a spellbound
audience at an exciting Broadway-style show or get together
with a few new friends over a frothy cappuccino. Crystal
Symphony and Crystal Serenity are considered the most
spacious ships afloat. Your
stateroom is a comforting place to call your own, where
you can snuggle in and dream. With skilled and practiced
sleight-of-hand, our chefs prepare the finest cuisine
from around the world. Our guests may begin a cruise
alone, but within days they find themselves greeting
new-found friends. There is a spirit of cheerfulness
and good humor to be found wherever you are on our ship.
 Guests
say that’s the real magic of a Crystal cruise. There’s
no mystery to it; it’s simply our commitment to heartfelt
service that lets us create an atmosphere of enchantment,
every day. Cruising is all about lifestyle: fine wining
and dining, visiting exotic destinations and enjoying
extravagant production shows. But today's guest is also
interested in balancing the rich life of a cruise with
health and fitness. If that sounds like you, then Crystal
Cruises is your perfect vacation.
From
the wrap-around, all-outdoor teak Promenade Deck - one
of the most popular features on all our ships, and one
you won't find on many other large cruise ships — to
a Spa with one of the world's best views, every Crystal
cruise offers a variety of options for keeping fit and
well. The full-service Crystal Salon offers a relaxing
experience with sweeping ocean views.
Sometimes,
after a long day's adventure ashore or a full schedule
of activities on board, the very best option for dinner
is to order in. Leave your formal wear in the closet
and dine in your bathrobe and slippers, if you wish,
with a full selection of delectable dishes from your
In-Suite & In-Stateroom Dining menu. You may also order
from the evening's menu in the Crystal Dining Room,
or request whatever your heart desires—our chefs will
do their best to oblige your tastes. Those guests in
our Penthouses who order In-Suite & In-Stateroom Dining
will be served by their butler, and also have the option
of ordering from our specialty restaurants.  Crystal
Cruises' commitment to excellence and quality of experience
does not end with our grown-up cruisers. Kids have a
variety of great activities to choose from on every
Crystal cruise! We offer a children's playroom and babysitting
services on all cruises. During holiday cruises and
selected sailings, additional children's activities
are offered under the supervision of experienced Junior
Activities Directors.
Crystal

ships at sea. Onboard amenities include grand lounges,
full-service fitness facility, a Caesars Palace at Sea®
casino, Feng Shui-inspired spa, 360° teak Promenade
Deck, two pools, Jacuzzi®,award-winning cuisine and

most with private verandahs. Crystal
Serenity. At 68,000 tons and capable of serving
1,080 guests, Crystal Serenity is our largest ship.
However, like her sister ships, she maintains one of
the highest space-per-guest ratios at sea, so you'll
never feel crowded. Featuring many of the same popular
public spaces and amenities as Crystal Harmony and Crystal
Symphony, Crystal Serenity serves up innovation in the
form of new dining venues like Tastes, Silk Road and
The Sushi Bar.
