Crystal Cruises introduces premium luxury services

Starting spring 2012, California-based Crystal Cruises is enhancing its already expansive host of luxury services and amenities.

Vacations on the award-winning Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will include complimentary fine wines and premium spirits throughout the ship, open bar service in all lounges, and pre-paid gratuities for housekeeping, bar and dining staff.

Our 'All Inclusive' is an evolution of Crystal's luxury services and responds to the desires of today's upscale cruise traveler, said Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises.

As many lines throughout our industry have itemized their services for additional charges, Crystal is maximizing the guest experience by eliminating additional transactions - further enhancing the ease and luxury of a Crystal cruise, he further added.

The new benefits begin with each ship's first Trans-Atlantic cruise next year; Crystal Symphony's Beyond the Sea sailing from Miami to Lisbon on March 19, 2012, and Crystal Serenity's New World to Norway voyage from New York to London on May 8, 2012.
