LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- When Crystal's ultra-luxury yacht, Crystal Esprit, embarks on her maiden voyage next week, guests will be ushered into the new era of Crystal Cruises: one of new destinations and new ways to get there, one that caters to those passionately curious about the world and actively seeking adventure. While the yacht will sail to destinations throughout the Seychelles, Cosmopolitan Emirates, and Mediterranean that are most coveted for their outdoor opportunities and appeal to explorers of all persuasions, the vessel itself is outfitted for adventure, so luxury travelers need not limit themselves to what's available shore-side.

Crystal Esprit is outfitted with some decidedly extreme features, like a two-passenger submarine, four 10-passenger zodiacs for special excursions and a 12-passenger Wider 32-foot super yacht tender for special boating adventures. Additionally, at their guests' fingertips are water skis, wake boards, kayaks, jet skis, and fishing/scuba/snorkel equipment.

Crystal Cruises will be celebrating 25 years of sailing in 2015 with multiple theme cruises bringing back former Crystal captains, as well as current top executives.

Whether guests are seeking underwater adventures, high-speed adrenaline-inducing experiences or physically challenging and athletic pursuits, they need look no further than Crystal Esprit's retractable marina. Tucked sleekly inside this extravagant yacht is an arsenal of water toys, beckoning Crystal guests – discerning travelers who seek unexpected, uncommon and truly memorable experiences – to come and play.

Water skis, a wakeboard, two types of ocean kayaks (do you fancy a tandem paddle or some solitude?); Skidoo jet skis, two 10-person zodiacs, contained in-ocean pool...plus, fishing and snorkel equipment at the ready – all for complimentary use on a first come, first served basis. For those ready to dive deeper, literally, a C Explorer U Boat Submarine will be available for subaquatic quests. Offering approximately 30-minute expeditions for $599 per person, the sub seats two guests and the vessel's operator, creating an especially exclusive atmosphere. Additionally, a 12-passenger Wider 32-foot super yacht tender will take guests on special boating adventures.

Of course, Crystal Esprit will also offer a boatload (pardon the pun) of Crystal Adventures ashore that highlight the natural wonders and opportunities for intrepid travelers in each locale. Zip lining in the Seychelles, culinary tours throughout Greece and acrobatic flights aboard a stunt plane in Croatia are all on the menu. Additionally, the yacht will offer bicycles for guests' use if they choose to explore independently ashore. With the launch of its first new vessel in 12 years – the first of several new experiences planned over the next three years – Crystal has made every effort to ensure that possibilities and choices are all but endless.

For the world's most awarded luxury cruise line – a company lauded for over two decades for its superior standard of excellence and sophistication – it's clear that luxury extends beyond the six-star cuisine, all-penthouse accommodations, plush amenities and wishes granted at every turn. Luxury reaches as far as the imaginations of travelers who seek it, and for some, the fun begins in the Crystal Esprit marina.
