Crystal Cruises unveiled its 2005 worldwide itineraries with a record number of cruises visiting 185 ports in 64 countries in all seven continents.
A highlight: a 101-day world cruise. It will begin in Los Angeles next January and conclude in London. The trip will include a passage of the Suez Canal.
In 2005, crystal is balancing its greater variety of shorter, closer-to-home cruises and adding 14 maiden calls.
There will be a total of 95 cruises aboard the Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.
The cruise line also announced bookings are 94% ahead for 2005 as compared to 2004 bookings made at this time in 2003.
