Antarctica, South America & Caribbean Treasures Highlighted on Crystal’s 2017 World Cruise Segments


For luxury travelers seeking truly captivating and immersive global experiences, Crystal Cruises’ 2017 World Cruise offers one of the line’s most comprehensive itineraries to date featuring six abbreviated segments available to sail. The segments, ranging from 10-23 days and each featuring at least one overnight stay, will offer concentrated routes that highlight the distinct culture and natural and historical wonders that enrich each of the countries visited. Focused on the metropolitan cities, quaint villages, less-visited islands and up-and-coming destinations of South America and the Caribbean – plus the first World Cruise visit to Antarctica in 10 years – the 94-day journey sails round-trip from Miami aboard Crystal Serenity, embarking on January 10, 2017.

Further incentivizing discerning travelers are Crystal’s extended “Silver Celebration Fares,” which offer significant savings off the all-inclusive cruise fares, plus up to $500 “As You Wish” spending credits per stateroom for bookings made by December 30, 2015.

“The 2017 World Cruise and its segments are the ultimate opportunity for travelers to experience varied nuances of the destinations with a prolonged amount of time exploring several ports in nearly every country visited,” says Crystal’s president & CEO, Edie Rodriguez. “Guests who enjoy delving deeper into locales will find that a Crystal World Cruise is the ideal way to do it, with enriching experiences designed by destination experts, plus the luxury and attention to detail that makes Crystal the number one choice of discerning travelers.”
