Crystal Cruises news and offers



NEW

Notice: 2016 Itinerary Change

Crystal Cruises puts the utmost priority on the safety and security of our guests, crew and vessels. It is never our intention to change our itineraries; however, due to the current and anticipated political climate in the Middle East, we have determined that changes to three (3) specific Mediterranean itineraries is the appropriate course of action given the developing situation within the region. The following NEW voyage itineraries are now available to view online:

Voyage 6223: "Lo Stivale Interlude"
Rome to Venice
September 3-14, 2016 (11 days)

Voyage 6224: "Mediterranean Reflections"
Venice to Rome
September 14 - 25, 2016 (11 days)

Voyage 6225: "Classic Mediterranean"
Round-trip Rome
September 25 - October 6, 2016 (11 days)

Please note, for already-booked guests, the applicable fares have been adjusted accordingly with updated booking confirmations bearing the appropriate (new) itineraries emailed to the Crystal guest's agent on record on Tuesday, 8/18/2015. We hope you will enjoy these new itineraries that feature several maiden-call ports, all specially curated to ensure them an incomparable Crystal Experience® on their upcoming cruise vacation.
