Crystal Wins Top Award From Condé Nast Traveler For Record 24th Year

"The annual 'Readers' Choice Awards' represent the best of the best in travel, and we are proud to accept this honor again from the readers of Condé Nast Traveler," says Crystal's president and CEO, Tom Wolber. "Crystal has taken the feedback and input from luxury world travelers to heart since our inception, and to earn such high praise is proof that our commitment to exceed the expectations of our guests continues to resonate with them."  

Crystal's score of 92.20 topped the list of 12 finalist cruise lines in its category, with criteria voted on including accommodations, service, dining, activities, design and value. Crystal's acclaimed ocean ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, continue to be the standard bearers in luxury ocean travel, both featuring elegantly styled and spacious public areas, posh lounges and theaters, luxuriously appointed guest suites (most with private verandahs), and culinary experiences that include modern gastronomy and signature cuisine from Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. As Crystal continues to evolve and maintain its cutting-edge luxury offerings, both ships will undergo their most extensive dry dock redesigns in their respective history – Crystal Symphony's currently underway and Crystal Serenity's set for fall of 2018.

Crystal's pattern of innovation took another leap in 2015, when the company embarked on the most ambitious brand expansion in luxury travel history. The company's growing portfolio now comprises Crystal Cruises, Crystal River Cruises, Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises, Crystal Luxury Air and Crystal AirCruises, with new vessels set to launch over the next five years.

Throughout the venture, Crystal maintains its stated dedication to offering the very best level of personalized service and attention to each luxurious detail across all of its brands, with the company's acclaimed butler service offered with nearly all experiences. Along with adventures and more choices available to guests seeking to customize their luxury vacations, Crystal's service, space and amenities have shaped the company's credo over the decades.

By sea, river, land and air, Crystal has redefined the way the world views luxury travel. Celebrating 27 years of excellence, Crystal Cruises is the World's Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line, having earned "World's Best Cruise Ship" in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards for 24 years; been voted "World's Best Large Ship Cruise Line" by Travel + Leisure readers for 20 years; and the "Best Luxury Cruise Line" by travel professional organization Virtuoso for three consecutive years (2014, 2015 & 2016).  The readers of Travel + Leisure also voted Crystal River Cruises the "World's Best River Cruise Line" and Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises the "World's Best Small-Ship Cruise Line" in 2017. The newest and upcoming extensions of the celebrated Crystal brand include Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises, Crystal Luxury Air, Crystal River Cruises – The World's Most Luxurious River Cruise Line – Crystal AirCruises and Crystal Exclusive Class with Crystal Residences.
