Mon Nov 16, 2009 5:09pm EST
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury specialist Crystal Cruises is
offering more seven-day options than ever for 2010 European cruises.  Six
itineraries in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Baltic and British Isles
allow travelers to enjoy the award-winning Crystal Experience and a wealth of
intriguing ports in a shorter time than Crystal's more prevalent 11- and
12-day European cruises.

"The seven-day European itineraries are a great way for guests with limited
vacation time to enjoy a luxury getaway, and for new guests to sample the
celebrated Crystal product," says Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales and
marketing.  "They also present an ideal opportunity to take a six-star
vacation at a lower fare, plus the tremendous value added for 2010."

Crystal's European season runs from May through November, with seven-day
voyages including:

Crystal Symphony

    --  May 26, Mediterranean, Athens to Rome - Mykonos, Rhodes and Santorini,
        Greece; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Sorrento, Italy
    --  June 14, British Isles, Roundtrip London - Guernsey, Channel Islands;
        Dublin, Waterford and Belfast, Ireland; and Liverpool, England

    --  August 7, Scandinavia, Copenhagen to Stockholm - Tallinn, Estonia; and
        St. Petersburg, Russia (double overnight)



Crystal Serenity

    --  May 11, Mediterranean, Rome to Athens - Sorrento and Sicily, Italy;
        Crete and Mykonos, Greece; and Kusadasi, Turkey
    --  May 18, Mediterranean, Athens to Venice - Sanotrini and Corfu, Greece;
        Bodrum, Turkey; and Dubrovnik, Croatia

    --  June 18, Mediterranean, Athens to Venice - Mykonos and Corfu, Greece;
        Split, Croatia; Kusadasi, Turkey



In addition to new 2-for-1 fares and $500 per person All Inclusive - As You
Wish shipboard credits for seven-day European voyages, the line also recently
introduced complimentary roundtrip air transportation from more than 20 North
American gateways - even Business Class for penthouse guests.  Fares for
Crystal European seven-day voyages start at $3,680 per person, double
occupancy.

With many combination options that don't repeat ports, seven-day voyages can
be taken back-to-back with various cruises for longer vacations, and
additional savings.  Along with the shorter European voyages are a seven-day,
roundtrip Miami, Caribbean cruise and three roundtrip Los Angeles, Mexican
Riviera cruises.  Two fall nine-day options in the Mediterranean are also
available.
