Crystal Cruises has added five additional Caribbean sailings to its enticing new Simply the Best programme. Previously scheduled for November and December 2020, Crystal Serenity sailings to the Caribbean are now eligible for Crystal’s new offer of up to 80% savings on the best stateroom or suite available at the time of booking, as well as $250 or more of As You Wish shipboard credit per stateroom or suite (based on double occupancy); reduced deposits of just £76 per guest; low Solo Fares from 125%; children under 18 sail from £152 plus port taxes as third guest; and 10% cruise fare savings available on select sailings when guests choose the combined 14-night itinerary. Travel advisors can also earn £76 bonus commission for each booking on any of the 11 Simply the Best sailings.
Crystal’s Simply the Best sailings range from seven to 11-nights, with many seven-night itineraries combinable for an incredible 14-night journey through the Caribbean without repeating ports.
The newly added Simply the Best sailings aboard Crystal Serenity include:
- Tropical Island Tapestry, Miami roundtrip, nine nights embarking 12th November calling in Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize City, George Town and Key West.
- Caribbean Chic, Miami roundtrip, 11 nights embarking 21st November calling in St. Kitts-Basseterre, Castries, Bridgetown, Grande-Terre, Gustavia and St. Thomas.
- Tropical Serenade, Miami roundtrip, seven nights embarking 2nd December calling in Costa Maya, Belize City, Cozumel and Key West.
- Island Discoveries, Miami to San Juan, seven nights embarking 9th December calling in Grand Turk, St. Kitts-Basseterre, Gustavia and Tortola.
- Caribbean Kaleidoscope, San Juan to Miami, seven nights embarking 16th December calling in Phillipsburg (overnight), Gustavia, St. John’s and St. Thomas.
Cruise fares for Simply the Best sailings start from just £1,314 per guest for Crystal award-winning all-inclusive luxury experience. Travellers with Future Cruise Credits may redeem them on these cruises.
Added peace of mind for guests looking forward to travelling again comes in part from programmes such as Crystal Confidence, which offers reduced deposits of just £76 for Ocean voyages; relaxed 60-day prior to first service final payment; and adjusted cancellation policy allowing guests to cancel up to seven days prior to sailing and receive 100% Future Cruise Credit, valid through 2022. Guests booking Crystal’s new autumn 2020 Caribbean sailings will have an additional layer of voyage protection with the new Crystal Voyage Assurance programme extended to these new Crystal Serenity voyages, which allows travellers to cancel their cruise for a full refund within seven days if there is a significant itinerary change – including the embarkation or disembarkation ports and/or changes to 30% or more of their selected itinerary – due to global travel restrictions.
A leader in unparalleled luxury cruising for 30 years, Crystal Cruises distinguishes its ships and its voyages with fine details and nuances that make a big impact for discerning travellers. All-inclusive entertainment; diverse enrichment options; globally-inspired dining, including Nobu Matsuhisa’s only seagoing restaurants; unlimited pours of fine wines, beers and premium spirits and an unwavering standard of genuine, personal service for each guest underscores the Crystal difference.
By deliberate design, Crystal Serenity has always carried far fewer guests than ships of similar size – featuring one of the highest space ratios in luxury cruising – and her social spaciousness will be further increased with a commitment to lower guest capacity when she resumes sailing this autumn. In addition, while the fleet is paused, the Crystal team is developing new procedures and policies that will support all public health and regulatory requirements and ensure that guests’ holidays continue to be not only relaxing and pleasurable but safe and healthy. Details of these new measures and initiatives will be announced soon.
The inherent design of Crystal ships maximises personal and public space, offering plenty of options for those who choose to keep a healthy distance during their voyage. All Crystal ships across the fleet including Ocean, River, Yacht and Expedition offer nearly double the space per person than ships of a similar size, which is among the highest space ratios in the industry and their social spaciousness will be further augmented through the new measures we will be implementing. Further, Crystal Endeavor and Crystal’s River ships are all-suite and all-balcony and most staterooms on Ocean ships Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity feature private verandas for fresh airflow.
The safety of guests and crew members is Crystal’s number one priority and the fleet will resume service only when the company’s expert team and global health and government authorities indicate that it is safe to do so.
