Crystal Cruises Announces Full 2021 Deployment For Crystal Symphony And Crystal Serenity

Extended exploration of Asia and new Ireland and Holy Land itineraries among the highlights for The World’s Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line™

 

 

MIAMI, October 10, 2018 – Today, Crystal Cruises announced its full lineup of 2021 luxury sailings aboard the award-winning Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, becoming the first cruise line to announce a complete 2021 deployment. In all, 68 all-inclusive voyages span the globe to 238 destinations in 53 countries, taking travelers on journeys to destinations of historical significance including 175 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, untouched natural beauty, artistic and cultural riches, and pristine tranquility.

 

From Crystal Serenity’s 139-day “Ancient Dynasties & World Wonders” comprehensive World Cruise to 10 seven-day sailings through the Mediterranean aboard Crystal Symphony, luxury travelers will find a world of opportunities to explore destinations both famous and less visited in 2021.  Staying true to Crystal’s philosophy of offering guests numerous choices, these itineraries run the gamut, including shorter sailings that are easily combinable with other cruises – without repeating ports – for those seeking an extended vacation.

 

“As leaders in luxury travel, Crystal creates innovative ways for our guests to see the world every year while announcing those itineraries well in advance to meet the demands of travelers in the global marketplace,” said Crystal’s President and CEO Tom Wolber. “By presenting Crystal’s luxury voyages for the next three years, along with the significant value of Book Now Savings, we are aiming to inspire our guests to plan their next vacation early to lock in a great rate and the stateroom they want while giving our travel partners the time and tools to assist them.”
