There are many different brands to choose from when planning a cruise vacation. Not every brand or ship is created equal. Crystal Cruises combines voyages to breathtaking destinations while providing luxury and unparalleled services to the guests on board.

ABOUT CRYSTAL CRUISES


Crystal Cruises is not like many of its competitors. The fleet consists of two ships, the Crystal Serenity and the Crystal Symphony. These ships are always exploring new destinations depending on the time of season. From adventures to Alaska in the Summer or Tropical destinations in the winter, the fleet is always ready to bring you on an unforgettable experience.  


Today’s cruise industry is all about going big. Each new ship is getting taller, wider, and bigger which can sometimes be overwhelming. Crystal Cruises provide a much different experience with smaller ships and top end service. These ships have nearly one staff member to guest ratio making for service that can’t be matched. Crystal Symphony serves 606 guests and Crystal Serenity serves 740 guests. Each with a nearly 1 to 1 ratio per staff member to guest.
