CRYSTAL CRUISES PUBLISHES 2009 WORLDWIDE CRUISE ATLAS
Crystal Cruises has published its 2009 Worldwide Cruise Atlas - its largest and most comprehensive brochure to date - showcasing the luxury line's 61 itineraries, ranging in length from seven to 106 nights and visiting 185 ports throughout the world.
Spacious spreads reveal Crystal's innovative dining options, inspired enrichment, abundant shore-side opportunities, richly appointed accommodations and the extraordinary service, space, quality and choices that comprise the Crystal Experience. Utilising both bulleted and narrative style, the Atlas opens with an easy-to-read, colour-coded cruise calendar that references the pages for itinerary details within.
New in the 2009 Cruise Atlas are:
- An expanded "Experiences of Discovery" section featuring a collection of theme cruises
- A value spread highlighting many of Crystal's inclusive features, amenities and services
- Silk Road and The Sushi Bar, depicting the new restaurants on Crystal Symphony featuring Nobu Matsuhisa's creative cuisine
- Eight new Penthouses which will be converted from 12 category AA staterooms, thus reducing capacity and increasing
Crystal Serenity's per guest space ratio :
"The messaging and layout of the Atlas stays true to the Crystal brand - simple, elegant and inviting," says Sophie Higgins, Crystal's UK Director of Sales & Marketing. "Besides the compelling itineraries, we've focused on the exceptional luxury found onboard Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, which has earned us 'World's Best' honours more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in history."
