Are you looking for ultra-luxury cruising on large state-of-the-art ships? Is a wide variety of dining options from top chefs important? Do you want private shore excursions and plenty of entertainment? If so then read on…

Crystal Cruises has a reputation for being the last word in ultra-luxury cruises. The company has won Condé Nast Traveller’s award for “Best Large Ship Cruise” every year for the last 14 years and the Crystal Serenity is consistently voted “Best Ship in the World” by the magazine’s readers.

The Crystal ships, Serenity and Symphony carry 1,070 and 922 passengers respectively. Crystal offers 61 itineraries covering Europe, The Mediterranean, North and South America, the Pacific and Asia, calling at 185 ports worldwide. Cruises range in length from seven days exploring the Mexican Riviera to a world cruise of three months or more.

On board you can take a lesson from a PGA Golf pro on the ship’s driving range or challenge a fellow passenger to a game of tennis. Cool off in the pool or treat yourself to a massage or facial in the ship’s spa. In the evening you can enjoy the latest Hollywood films or a show, try your luck at Texas Hold ‘em in the Casino or simply relax with a glass of wine and a good book on your private veranda.

A mouth-watering selection of gourmet cuisine is available on Crystal ships from top chefs Nobu Matsuhisa and Piero Selvaggio. Crystal has a flexible approach to food and “Perfect Choice Dining” means that you can eat what you want, when you want it.

Crystal offer a wonderful range of shore excursions, you can choose to have a guided tour of a destination by foot, bike, 4x4 or even kayak in some cities. In addition, they offer a ‘Private Adventures’ service whereby Crystal’s staff will arrange special excursions for you and your partner or family. Imagine driving along the French Riviera in a Lamborghini or gaining an insight into the culture of ancient Egypt with your own archaeologist as a guide.
