Wow it seems Crystal Cruises are going to be busy over the next few years.  They have announced that they are to build three new luxury ships.  Among them are a river cruise line, a yacht cruises division, a private airplane and a mini-submarine.  What a way to celebrate the cruise lines 25th anniversary!

Avarua, Cook Islands – February 2, 2009:
Cruise Ship “Crystal Serenity” anchored in front of the reef of Avarua, Cook Islands. Owner is the cruise line Crystal Cruises. They offer around the world voyages. Crystal Serenity was built in 2003, has a capacity of 1070 passengers and is 820 feet long and 25 feet wide.

The three new ships will be launched in late 2018, will accommodate 1,000 passengers and have a one to one passenger to crew ration, what’s more the ships will be built to polar ice class standards meaning Crystal Cruises will become the first cruise line to operate large luxury expedition ships!

Also on board you will be given the option of open seating in the restaurant or for those passengers wanting the fixed dining then this is also available.  This is the beauty of luxury cruising, it’s all about exclusivity and options for you.

I think this is fantasic news for Crystal and will look forward to hearing more about this in the next few months.  After cruising with Crystal a few years back I know how fantastic and wonderful the ships and staff are.  Would be great if I have the chance to see one of their new ships!
