Crystal River Cruises Announces Reduced Deposits for Select 2020 Sailings This Summer

MIAMI, January 16, 2020 – Luxury travelers seeking enriching summer vacations along Europe’s grandest rivers can now book the award-winning Crystal River Cruises experience for a $500 reduced initial deposit. The line announced a new reduced deposit for more than 50 voyages across its all-suite, all-balcony sister ships – Crystal Bach, Crystal Debussy, Crystal Mahler and Crystal Ravel – which, combined with Crystal’s Book Now Savings, presents compelling savings on Crystal River Cruises’ all-inclusive luxury.

 

Applicable voyages range from seven to 16 nights and sail from May through August of 2020. The selection includes 13 Crystal Bach itineraries between Basel and Amsterdam; 14 Crystal Debussy itineraries between Basel and Amsterdam; four Crystal Mahler itineraries between Budapest and Vilshofen, two between Budapest and Vienna, two between Budapest and Amsterdam and one round-trip from Vienna; and 14 Crystal Ravel itineraries between Budapest and Vilshofen as well as two between Budapest and Regensburg.

 

The reduced deposit promotion is valid for all new bookings made during Crystal’s current
Book Now Savings window, through March 4, 2020, giving guests the best possible fares on Crystal’s all-inclusive luxury with the added incentive of the low initial deposit. The $500 per guest deposit is reduced from the standard deposit of 25 percent of the cruise fare. Final payments for these select sailings are due 90 days prior to first date of service.

 

Crystal’s new-build river vessels are the river cruising industry’s first and only all-balcony, all-suite, all-butler vessels in Europe, with every category of accommodation positioned above the water line.  All suites feature Panoramic Balcony-Windows™ and walk-in closets and dual vanity in the bathrooms are featured in most categories.

 

All of Crystal’s river ships feature private butler service in every room category, king-sized beds, ETRO amenities, robes and slippers, and wall-mounted flat-screen HD TVs. Additional enticing features include farm-to-table cuisine in multiple, open-seating eateries: the elegant Waterside Restaurant, namesake Bistro cafés and the exclusive Vintage Room; and the Palm Court for entertainment, enrichment presentations and sweeping views of the countryside. Crystal’s attention to detail reaches ashore, as guests are transported on the days’ adventures in luxury motor coaches equipped with complimentary water and Wi-Fi for added convenience and comfort.
