Crystal Cruises Reviews are in, and they're Number One
October 19, 2005
(Feel free to feign surprise...) Win once and you may have just had a good year. Three times, and people start noticing. But after 10 consecutive years of winning the highest honors in not just one, but two, highly-respected travel magazines, Crystal Cruises has proven that they're consistently unbeatable. Travelers from all over America have put in their two cents and submitted glowing Crystal Cruises reviews to a couple of the most highly-respected travel magazines in the biz.
Crystal Cruises, the ultra-luxury cruise line, has once again won the Conde Nast Traveler award for the "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line." With almost 28,000 travelers voicing their opinions in the magazine's contest, Crystal Cruises received their highest score ever in its ten consecutive years of wins. That's impressive enough, but what's even more is that this comes only a few months after winning the award for "World's Best" from Travel + Leisure magazine in August 2005.
Respondents to the Travel+ Leisure were asked to rate cruise lines on a variety of categories including service, itineraries/destinations, food, accommodations, entertainment, activities, and overall value. Similarly, the readers of Conde Nast Traveler submitted information on the quality of activities/facilities, cabins, crew/service, design, food/dining, and itineraries. Needless to say, they were overwhelmingly positive Crystal Cruises reviews.
"[We] are exceptionally honored to win this tenth year on the tenth anniversary of Travel + Leisure's 'World's Best' Awards. We are thrilled to be sharing an audience with some of the world's best travel experiences," says Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises. And of the Conde Nast Traveler award, Michel states, "The honor and excitement in receiving the 'World's Best' awards never diminishes. This recognition from the savvy world travelers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine is especially significant given the competitive natures of luxury travel globally."
And make no mistake about it: Crystal Cruises is a luxury cruise line all the way. While they only have three ships in their fleet, Crystal Cruises has made it a point to focus on quality rather than quantity. Their devotion to enhancing their guests' experience is evident in their itineraries of exciting destinations, a dedicated and creative staff that constantly exceeds expectations, and an onboard atmosphere that's the perfect blend of innovation and understated elegance and style.
But even the great Crystal Cruises reviews aren't enough to have the cruise line resting on her laurels. During the past year, Crystal Cruises has expanded many features of its cruise experience, including such amenities as Wine Makers dinners in the ships' brand new Vintage Rooms, exclusive cultural and active shore excursions throughout the world, even a pillow menu for a customized sleep experience. They have also expanded their list of seven-day cruises to various destinations.
So, being that Crystal Cruises is a luxury line and offers so much, you'd expect them to be more expensive than mores cruise lines. Well, let me put it this way: Yes, their cruises tend to have a price higher than the average cruise; but their value is unsurpassed. It's evident by the fact that they consistently receive great Crystal Cruises reviews time and time again, winning accolades from people who know the Ins and Outs of cruising.
The Crystal Cruises fleet of cruise ships consists of the 940-passenger, 50,000-ton Crystal Symphony and Crystal Harmony, and 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity. In 2006, Crystal Harmony will depart from the Crystal Cruises fleet, leaving the Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will cruise worldwide on incredible itineraries of seven to 106 days. Asia, Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean—Crystal Cruises goes practically everywhere your imagination can take you.
