Crystal Cruises Introduces 2007 European Cruises
Crystal Cruises is offering destination-rich itineraries throughout Europe
in 2007, from the ancient cities along the Aegean and Adriatic seas to the
polar ice caps of the North Cape. The Crystal Serenity and Symphony
cruise ships will explore a number of timeless European ports with rich,
intriguing histories from April through November.
The Crystal Serenity's Mediterranean season includes cruises that begin or
end in Toulon, France, as well as cruises departing from Venice, Lisbon,
Athens, Monte Carlo, Rome, Istanbul and London. All itineraries offer at
least one overnight port call or late night stay in the above cities, as
well as Sorrento, Cannes, Odessa and Alexandria.
The Crystal Symphony's Northern Europe and Baltic season include
itineraries that visit St. Petersburg for multiple days; overnight stops
in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Bordeaux and Edinburgh. Other
highlights include a two-week North Cape itinerary from Copenhagen to
Stockholm that crosses the Arctic Circle en route to Spitsbergen. Other
stops include the fascinating ports of Tallinn, Estonia, and Arhus,
Denmark.
Crystal's European season also features three extended land programs,
offered pre- or post-cruise on selected itineraries. Travelers can enjoy
ancient castles, palaces and monuments in Prague and Budapest; appreciate
Austria's musical history in Vienna and Salzburg; and experience the
spectacular scenery of Europe aboard the Orient-Express.
