  • News: New private car excursions with Crystal Cruises in 2013

    Due to guest demand, beginning this spring, Crystal Cruises’ luxury travelers have a brand new and versatile private option for exploring Europe: their very own car and driver, with local, English-speaking guide.  The hot private car or van offerings allow singles, couples and small groups (8 maximum) to completely customise time ashore upon arrival.  While Crystal is launching this system in 50 European ports on Crystal Symphony Mediterranean cruises and Crystal Serenity Northern European cruises, the ultra-luxury line plans to increase this system to other destinations later within the year.

    “Many of today’s luxury guests desire to explore all alone, but don’t benefit from the hassle, time and questionable quality of attempting to find transportation and guides, in addition to the aggravation of negotiating fees,” says John Stoll , vp, land and port operations.  “With our trusted transportation and destination expertise at their disposal, and via fully licensed and insured companies, guests can tour independently easily and safety, in addition to be ultra-flexible should they need to follow a final-minute insider’s suggestion or simply see how they feel inside the moment.”

    The program is the most recent addition to a rapidly-expanding roster of Crystal Adventures shore excursion choices, including:
    *  Organised shore tours that range from special-interest adventures and town overviews to very intimate only-with-Crystal Cruises Boutique Adventures, and unique, high end Signature Collection experiences to You Care, We Care voluntourism excursions.
    *  Private Options: For guests desperate to follow the identical tour itinerary as select Crystal Adventures, privately.
    *  Private Adventures: Ultra-personalised and entirely customised to a guest’s exact wishes beforehand by Crystal, including itineraries, admissions, meals, and transportation.

    Overland Adventures: Multiple-day excursions on land, farther from port, providing two to 3 days of intimate exploration ashore, with hotel stays.
    The new private car and driver services start at $270 per car, with guides speaking languages rather then English also available upon request.
    Crystal’s passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury shoreside experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures program, helping earn the road top ratings for 2 decades.
