New In 2004
| Luxury cruise specialist Crystal Cruises
announces the 2005 itineraries: visiting all seven continents on a
record number of cruises visiting 185 ports in 64 countries. |
| A record number of seven- and eight-day cruise
opportunities. |
| A 101-day World Cruise aboard the new 1,080-guest
Crystal Serenity in 2005, marks Crystal Cruises’ ninth World Cruise
and will include a passenger of the Suez Canal and sailing the
Mediterranean. |
| New Low-Carb menus offer high degree of choice in
all dining venues fleetwide. |
| Effective April 20, Crystal rolled out the most
extensive pre-reservation program in the industry, rewarding guests
who pay in full six months in advance to save money as well as
pre-reserve spa and salon appointments, specialty restaurants,
classes and shore excursions. |
| Crystal Serenity’s May through October cruises
include the most active, enriching and intimate collection of
“Crystal Adventures” in Eastern Mediterranean, providing savvy
travelers with a new look at an old destination. |
| Crystal Symphony’s mulit-million dollar
refurbishment includes a completely new Feng Shui-designed spa and
fitness center, an expanded Computer University@Sea, and a brand new
Vintage room among other things. |
| Overnight stays in some of the world’s most
fascinating cities such as Bordeaux, Venice, Cannes, Monaco,
Villefranche, Istanbul, Barcelona, Acapulco, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh
City, St. Petersburg, Edinburgh, Rouen, Quebec City, Montreal, Rio
de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. |
| Crystal’s Wine & Food Festival, in its eighth
year in 2004, continues to draw the most respected names in food and
wine such as award-winning Nancy Silverton of Campanile in L.A. and
wine columnists Leslie Sbrocco and Dan Berger. |
| As the first cruise line to offer the exclusive
Wine and Champagne Makers Dinners at sea, Crystal goes beyond mere
lectures and tastings to create a total experience designed to
enrich, educate and even surprise the most sophisticated aficionado. |
| The Best Young Chefs of Italy taps the future
stars of the culinary world, spotlighting Italy’s famed regions.
Sicily, Piedmont, Tuscany – each has its own specialty, but a common
theme is emerging among the country’s daring young chefs from North
to South that focuses on basic, fresh, local ingredients crafted
with imagination and flair. |
| Nobu Matsuhisa’s legendary cuisine is served at
the aptly-named Sushi Bar, as well as the Silk Road aboard Crystal
Serenity. |
| Wolfgang Puck’s acclaimed Santa Monica-based
restaurant, Chinois on Main, is showcased at Jade Garden, the
intimate Asian specialty restaurant aboard Crystal Symphony. |
| Piero Selvaggio of Valentino in Santa Monica and
Las Vegas showcases the Italian cuisine of his revered restaurant
Prego aboard all three ships. |
| Innovative in concept and progressive in nature,
Crystal’s Creative Learning Institute (CLI) is an extensive new
series of interactive classes providing comprehensive instruction
focusing on improving wellness and enhancing quality of life. |
| The newly-minted CLIA is partnering with
well-known organizations and schools – such as Yamaha, Berlitz, The
Cleveland Clinic, Society of Wine Educators, Pepperdine University
and Tai Chi Cultural Center among others – to bring experts in their
respective fields aboard to share their knowledge in a classroom
setting. The “five pillars” comprising the CLI include: Arts &
Entertainment; Business & Technology; Lifestyle; Wellness; and Wine
& Food. |
| The CLI debuted to rave reviews during Crystal
Serenity’s inaugural season and is the latest development in the
line’s highly-regarded Crystal Visions Enrichment Program of
renowned speakers, special interest lecturers and celebrities. The
program rolled out aboard Crystal Harmony and Crystal Symphony in
2004. |
