Ocean

Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony

Prepare yourself for one of the most luxurious cruise opportunities available. With just two ships—Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony—with capacities of 908 and 848 passengers respectively, all ocean cruises are intentionally intimate. Both ships have incredible dining options to choose from, including Chef "Nobu" Matsuhisa's only restaurants at sea, as well as various global cuisines, and even an ice cream bar, all available without reservations.

For oenophiles, the Vintage Room is a must visit—a wine lover's dream with access to a cellar including such rare vintages as a 1959 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.

All staterooms have ocean views in one way or another, and they range from a 202-square-foot room with a picture window to a 1,345-square-foot penthouse with a wraparound teak veranda, marble bathroom, and stunning vistas of the ocean and ports as they come into view.

There is no shortage of activities on the ocean liners, with both ships hosting an onboard movie theater, Broadway-style theater, casino, cigar and cognac club, and children's club. For those travelers seeking mental stimulation there's an onboard "Creative Learning Institute," dedicated Bridge Lounge, library, and computer lab, while those seeking relaxation can book an appointment at the spa or salon. Finally, a fitness center and pool with separate Jacuzzi are available for guests looking to offset their all-inclusive week-long cruise with a good workout followed by relaxation.

River

Crystal Luxury River ship with floor to ceiling windows

Five luxurious ships, four with a capacity of just 106 guests and one with a capacity for 154, ensure a nearly private exploration of some of Europe's most beautiful rivers. All of the rooms onboard are suites with gorgeous panoramic windows, allowing every guest to watch the cities and towns along the rivers slip in and out of view. While there are fewer dining options than the ocean liners offer, the river ships maintain the same high standards of quality, taste and presentation as found at sea—but also offer farm to table dinning. One of the most unique features on each ship is the Vista Deck, a wraparound teak promenade completed with chairs, blankets, and audio guides for guests to enjoy while cruising between ports, complete with a pop-up bar on Crystal Mozart. All-inclusive journeys offer complimentary shore excursions and signature events that provides guests with exclusive access to iconic venues across Europe.

Yacht

All-inclusive Crystal Esprit Luxury Yacht

Crystal Esprit is a yacht in the truest sense of the word, with room for just 62 guests in total. The same services available on ocean and river cruises, such as 24-hour room service and complimentary premium spirits, are provided to guests on these more intimate itineraries, albeit on a smaller scale. There is a casual grill on the top deck, a more laid-back patio cafè, and a slightly more formal Yacht Club inside for guests to enjoy (all open seating dining). Of course, much of the appeal of the yacht cruises are the destinations. The all-inclusive yachting lifestyle on Crystal Esprit includes ports of call in the Adriatic Sea, the Seychelles, and the Arabian Peninsula. Complimentary shore excursions are available in every port of call, with optional adventures available at an additional cost.

Expedition

Crystal Cruise Expedition-class adventure yachts

Debuting in August 2020, there will be a new expedition yacht available for intrepid guests to sail on curated all-inclusive journeys across the globe. The Endeavor is a PC6 polar class ship meant for exploring the Arctic and Antarctic, with free positioning navigation to avoid having to cast an anchor, thereby allowing the ship to enter and explore more delicate areas. Prepare for unexpected discovery, Zodiac adventures, rare wildlife sightings, and intimate connections with little-explored landscapes and intriguing cultures. Explore with Crystal and Embark on an expedition... where luxury is personal.
