Spend the Holidays in Luxury with Crystal Ocean, River and Expedition Voyages

With the holidays right around the corner, there’s no better time for guests to book their luxury celebration at sea with Crystal whose ocean, river and expedition voyages provide the ultimate winter-time retreat.

This year, five Crystal ships will offer port-intensive 10- to 15-day voyages departing in late December that visit not only warm-weather hot spots but the remote icy wonderland of Antarctica and legendary waterways of Europe, providing unforgettable luxury vacation experiences with opportunities to explore some of the world’s most picturesque locales.

During the holidays Crystal ships will be adorned with decorations, special menus with delicious multi-course meals, and, of course, the best New Year’s Eve party in cruising culminating in a champagne toast at midnight as 2021 turns into 2022.

“The holidays aboard Crystal are truly one-of-a-kind and this year we’re more excited than ever to welcome our Crystal Family to come onboard and create a lifetime of wonderful memories as they relax and reconnect with their friends, families and loved ones,” said Jack Anderson, president of Crystal.
