Crystal unveils more details on world cruise

CRYSTAL Cruises has unveiled the
full itinerary for its world cruise
on the Crystal Symphony, which
will depart Cape Town on January 7 and
arrive in Fort Lauderdale on April 30.
In the October 26, 2016 issue,
TNW reported that the cruise line
had confirmed dates for the world
cruise but could not provide a detailed
itinerary at that time.
Spanning 114 days, the cruise will
explore a new destination almost every
day. Highlights include crossing the
International Dateline and cruising
the Pacific, South Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans; the coasts of South America,
Peru and Colombia; Pitcairn Island and
the Caribbean.
The ship will dock overnight at
several destinations, including Port
Louis; Perth; Sydney; Auckland;
Papeete, Tahiti; Nuku Hiva, Marquesas
Islands; Easter Island; Lima; Guayaquil,
Ecuador; and St Barts, French West
Indies.
The Crystal Symphony’s
accommodation includes penthouses,
penthouse suites and deluxe
staterooms with the option of a
veranda and large picture window.
On-board features include bars,
restaurants, live entertainment,
satellite TV, WiFi and a personal butler
service.
George Argyropoulos, md of Cruises
International, says this is very exciting
for Crystal Cruises as it will be the first
world cruise to depart from Cape Town.
He adds that this once-in-a-lifetime trip
is one that every travel bug should add
to their bucket list.
Bookings are currently open.
