Hotel Overview

Refined elegance meets casual simplicity aboard the ultra-luxurious ships of Crystal Cruises. With an emphasis on innovative product differentiation, the renowned Crystal Experience is distinguished by classic service, abundant space, extensive choices and exceptional quality, providing worldwide vacations that bridge the best of land and sea.

In the February 2006 issue of Condé Nast Traveler the 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity and 940-guest, 50,000-ton Crystal Symphony were awarded with the coveted No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively in the magazine's 6th annual "Best Cruise Ships in the World" readers' poll and for the past ten consecutive years, Crystal Cruises has been voted "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler as well as Travel + Leisure magazine - the only cruise line, resort or hotel to have achieved such distinction.

Luxury, as they say, is in the details. It is so often the little details that make all the difference. And on a Crystal cruise, the differences are many. Here are some of the things that set us apart and have resulted in us being voted "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" honors year after year.
