"Many travelers appreciate being able to firm up future vacation plans far in advance -- to arrange a family get together, to plan a milestone birthday or anniversary, or to enjoy the extra savings of booking one's future cruise on board," says Jack Anderson, Crystal's senior vice president, marketing & sales.   "Whether one is thinking about a Crystal vacation in three years or three months, it's important to know that the current rates are only guaranteed until October 31.  There will be cruises that go up in price on November 1."

Highlights of 2014-early 2016 include more overnights, in more ports; more shorter cruises; more Asia and Caribbean routes; returns to Africa, the Holy Land, Mexico and Alaska; more than a dozen cities offering round-trip voyages; celebrations of Crystal's 25^th year of sailing and 20^th annual World Cruise in 2015; and a plethora of new cruises, maiden calls, and returns to ports less visited around the world.  Crystal sails to all seven continents, with voyages of 5-108 days in the Mediterranean, Western Europe, British Isles, Scandinavia/Baltic & Russia, North Cape & Arctic Circle, Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand, South Pacific, South America, Antarctica, New England/Canada, Panama Canal, Caribbean, and a sumptuous annual World Cruise departing every January.
