"CLIA [Cruise Lines International Association] recently reported travel agent optimism for 2011 cruise sales," says Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing Bill Smith.  "We want to take advantage of this surging market interest with a strong price/value message.  This is a great chance for new, value-conscious travelers to take an introductory cruise and learn why 60% of people who book a vacation with us are repeat guests."

One signature example of the value inherent in the Crystal Experience is a plethora of all-inclusive fine dining options, now incorporating new, flexible "Perfect Choice Dining" for choose-your-own-time dinner reservations.  

Bill Smith sums up: "Once on board, travelers recognize that our winning combination of service, choice, space, quality, and value comprise a vacation experience that really can't be beat."

Crystal's ethos of warm and friendly attentiveness, fulfilled by top-trained service staff from around the world, has earned the line a reputation for elevating hospitality to an art form.  With no guest request left untended, Crystal Cruises has been the perfect choice for luxury travelers for over two decades, earning "World's Best" ratings more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in history.
