More US departures have been scheduled by luxury line Crystal Cruises as part of its 2011 sailing programme.
The company’s two ships will run 58 cruises visiting 163 ports in 67 countries on itineraries ranging in duration of between seven and 21 days.
An increased emphasis on departures from North America includes an expanded series of sailings to the Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles.
All but one Crystal Symphony voyage is to embark from a US port.
Twelve-day voyages from San Francisco will see the line return to Alaska for the first time since 2005.
There is also a return to West Africa for the first time since 2001.
A 110-day world cruise from Los Angeles to London will go via the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, Asia, India, Dubai, and Africa.
The 2011 programme includes the new ports of call of Argostoli, Kefalonia; Fethiye, Turkey; Komodo Island, Indonesia; Koper, Slovenia; and Marigot Bay, St. Martin.
Overnight calls are planned for Ashdod, Melbourne, Barcelona, Cannes, Istanbul, New York and other cities worldwide. Two night stays are scheduled for Dubai, Cape Town and St Petersburg.
Crystal president Gregg Michel said: “In addition to our very exotic voyages in destinations like Africa, India and the Middle East, we’re also greatly increasing our presence in North America with a greater selection of domestic cruises.”
