Hideaways' Review |
Call it the best of both worlds—an intimate luxury cruise experience with a plethora of big-ship amenities. Crystal Cruises' two ships—the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony—are to the larger end of the luxury-line spectrum, but with their size comes one of the highest space-per-guest ratios at sea, allowing for such nice extras as a sushi bar, a 3,000-square-foot shopping arcade, the Computer University@Sea, an expansive spa, and a dedicated children's playroom. And Crystal's "big-ship" feel is tempered by "small-ship" service; you'll find that crew members know you by name in no time, greeting you with a warm smile and a heart-felt "Good morning!" And with staterooms that are substantially larger than industry norms, Crystal takes "cramped" out of the equation; all are exquisitely appointed, and more than three-quarters offer private verandas. Soothing pastels and light woods make the cabins seem even airier.
Over the years, Crystal has honed relationships with respected educators, enabling it to offer top enrichment programs for those long days at sea. Refine your skills, or take up something completely new with such Creative Learning Institute® classes as acting, Asian woodblock printing, foreign languages, and fashion design. Those hoping to immerse themselves in the cultures they visit will appreciate Crystal Adventures; choose a bicycling trip in Funchal, or perhaps an exclusive wine tasting and dinner at an 18th-century chateau in Bordeaux. It's no surprise that Crystal is repeatedly cited as the "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line." After all, it has one of the most loyal repeat-client bases in the business. |
