CRYSTAL River Cruises has
unveiled more detailed
plans for its collection of
two Crystal river yacht vessels,
which will be launched in
Europe starting in late March
2017.
“The new series of
vessels will boast a yachtlike
design featuring larger
accommodations and spaceto-guest
ratio than any
other river cruise ship, and
include Crystal’s signature
all-inclusive six-star service,
plus a fresh approach to the
traditional river itineraries and
experiences,” says Crystal
president and ceo, Edie
Rodriguez.
The 70-suite luxury river
yachts will feature 23 sqm
guest suites with walk-in
wardrobes, king-size beds
and bathrooms with double
vanities; two 46 sqm
Penthouse Suites, and
spacious public areas,
including Palm Court with
dance floor and glass-domed
roof, and a fitness centre and
spa.
“Crystal will dedicate a
portion of each cruise to
sailing along rivers in central
Europe – including France,
Germany, Switzerland,
Holland, Belgium, Austria,
Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia,
Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria
– during daytime hours,
allowing travellers to relish
the extraordinary scenery.
This timing also affords
guests the opportunity to
enjoy the nightlife in selected
destinations with port
overnights, which will often
present inclusive culinary
experiences ashore at
Michelin-starred restaurants
and local eateries and
exclusive evening events and
entertainment,” Edie says.
Crystal’s itineraries will also
intentionally deviate from
traditional river cruise routes
to avoid congestion of other
vessels in port.
Crystal will launch its newest
shore-side programme, called
Active Exploration Adventures,
tailored for guests wanting
a high-intensity shore-side
activity.
Itineraries, fares and
bookings for Crystal River
Cruises will be available
beginning December 1.
