For many years, Crystal Cruises has been at the pinnacle of the luxury cruising market, delivering exceptional class and comforts to its esteemed seafaring clients. Not too long ago, Crystal decided to expand their fleet and bring their brand to more travellers, a decision that coincided with the company’s purchase by Genting Hong Kong. With a new parent company at the helm, Crystal successfully expanded into the luxury yacht market, the luxury air market and the luxury river cruise market. With this expansion, Crystal continues to deliver on the quality they have come to be known for. For them, luxury continues to be personal.

Cruises & Beyond has consistently worked with Crystal since our founding in 2003. Many of our clients have sailed with Crystal in the past and have even tried out the new river cruises. So from their perspective and ours, we have to ask the question: does Crystal Cruises still live up to its 5-star luxury service? The answer is a resounding yes. Here are our 5 reasons why cruising with Crystal will change the way you think about hospitality/travel, and why you should consider travelling with them despite the premium cost.
