Incredible Shore Excursions with Crystal Yacht, Ocean and River Cruises

Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises  announced that its first-ever luxury expedition yacht, Crystal Endeavor, will travel a route that has captivated travelers for centuries on Northeast Passage when the ship embarks from Anadyr, Russia on August 18, 2021 for Tromsø, Norway. Crystal Endeavor will be the largest, most spacious purpose-built polar class expedition yacht in the world, accommodating just 200 guests and boasting all the luxurious amenities and special touches for which Crystal is known.

 

Travelers who want to experience Crystal Yacht before 2021 can explore Greece’s rugged terrain in a Mykonos Jeep Adventure. This four-wheel drive adventure takes guests along the rocky coastline to Kalafatis beach for a dip before continuing on for a dining experience in the village square of Ano Mera. All this and more is available while sailing aboard Crystal Esprit on its coveted Secrets Of The Cyclades departing August 11 – 18, 2019. Additional adventurous shore excursions include Fabrika Walk & Vineyard Wine Tasting, a Greek Cooking Lesson & Lunch, and Island Horseback Riding Adventure.

 

Beyond Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises, Crystal’s luxury options span both ocean and river and include remarkable experiences around the world.

 

While taking in the views of the French Riviera guests can join Michelin Star Chef Alain Llorca at his villa – restaurant where guests will learn at the hand of the master in a private cooking class. The class is followed by a lunch and wine pairing at the restaurant before heading out to explore the quaint town of Villeneuve-Loubet. This is available aboard Crystal Serenity’s picturesque Romantic Riviera cruise sailing August 23 – 30, 2019. Additional excursions include the Esterel Mountain Hike and Grasse Perfume Workshop & Village Of Mougins.

 

Guests can also venture into the great outdoors during an invigorating hike up Avala Mountain will be surrounded by spectacular views of Belgrade. The mountain is shrouded with dense forest and expansive meadows, providing the perfect scenery for helping guests find their center during meditative yoga. This serine experience is available aboard Crystal Ravel’s luxurious Eastern Danube Discoveries sailing July 24 – August 4, 2019.
