Ocean & expedition cruising
Caribbean - Ocean cruising
Beyond the typical idyllic landscapes, take-it-easy vibes and tales of buried pirate treasure, it’s obvious that these nations aren’t all cut from the same cloth.
Reimagined to stylishly transport spirited seafarers worldwide, Crystal cruises know how to liven up the seven seas. Showcasing the unseen side of desirable destinations while performing highly personalised butler service along the way.
Their ultra-all-inclusive programme is designed to make the most of life onboard. Everything is tended to, including the workshops that get guests ahead of the curve with insider knowledge on upcoming ports. Appetites are taken care of too in the form of fine-dining restaurants Umi Uma, with its Peruvian–Japanese fusion fare, Waterside’s classic-meets-contemporary dishes, and treats like afternoon tea.
Glad rags at the ready, most evenings see Crystal’s Stardust Club burst into action before and after dinner. Think dancing, production spot shows, glittering cabaret performances and a host of other themed events. And on select nights, Stardust is home to the Supper Club — an unforgettable evening of dining and dancing reserved for just 116 guests.
More intimate than its sister Crystal Serenity, at just over 600 guests versus 740, both combine an intimate ambiance with airiness and superlative service.
Intuitive and gracious, from the moment feet step aboard the deck, the hallmarks that have earned these renowned ships their stripes can be felt.
There are two different ways to live the Windstar experience, but whichever way you lean there’s the perennial presence of attentive staff and experiences that deliver the immersive and the authentic.
While this grande dame has certainly kept up with the times, there’s still a place in her heart for those classic little touches.
