Crystal Cruises unveiled its 2011 season with returns to Alaska and West Africa, among the 58 cruises visiting 163 ports in 67 countries. The Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will embark on journeys throughout the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Baltic, Alaska, New England/Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Panama Canal, Hawaii, Australia/New Zealand, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, India, South America and Africa. Crystal Serenity’s 15th annual World Cruise spans 110 days on a new route around east and west Africa.

North American guests will once again be dazzled with Alaska cruises and the opportunity to sail roundtrip from stunning San Francisco. The line is returning to Alaska for the first time since 2005 with 12-day sailings aboard the luxurious Crystal Symphony, a first for the west coast.  Previously, Crystal Cruises’ Alaska itineraries were done by the now retired Crystal Harmony. This exciting itinerary brings West Coast guests closer to Alaska with visits to Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay plus Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia.

The hallmarks of Crystal Cruises – legendary service, abundant space, exceptional quality and unparalleled services – have earned Crystal Symphony international recognition as one of the top two ships in the world, along with the Crystal Serenity. From the sublime comfort of your well appointed stateroom or suite to the vast activities you’ll find onboard Crystal Cruises is a phenomenal product.
