Crystal Cruises

The ultimate in luxury cruising

It is so often the little details that make all the difference, and on a Crystal cruise, the differences are many.

Crystal, wholly owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the largest shipping company in the world, was created in 1988 and operates the luxury ships Crystal Symphony (1995), able to carry 940 guests, and the 1,080-guest Crystal Serenity, which was launched in 2003.

The Six-Star liners feature grand lounges, lavish spas fitted in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui, extensive exercise facilities, complimentary golf, yoga and Pilates instruction, the only Caesars Palace at Sea Casino afloat, as well as expansive decks, two pools, award-winning cuisine and entertainment, and exquisitely-appointed staterooms, more than half of which have private verandahs.
