Crystal Cruise Lines

By and large the most luxurious cruise line, Crystal offers its guests a new standard in the "Ultra-Deluxe" market. Crystal provides the intimate service of a small ship, with the elegance and opulance of a large ocean liner.

In the entertainment arena, it is not unusual to find an array of activities from ping pong to true Broadway quality shows. Previous on-board lecture series have featured such notable celebrities as Barbara Walters and Larry King. Also, Crystal spares no expense in the 'details'. Real china and fresh cut flowers abound. The ships on-board Casino (which is run by Ceasers Palace) is also considered to be one of the best afloat (with free drinks being served to those who are gambling). Crystal's ships also offer one other very important feature: SPACE! At an average space ratio of 53, these are the most passenger spacious ships on the sea.

While the price of a Crystal cruise is definately more expensive, it is arguably one of the best values in cruising when you consider both the level of service, and the quality of accomodations you receive. The average age of a Crystal guest is 40 and above, but it's not unusual to see children on board during peak times. Crystal provides expanded childrens activities on cruises where there are more than the average number of children.
