Tuesday, 4 January 20053 min read

Crystal Cruises announced a record 214 ports in 82 countries for 2006.

The Cruise line said its Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity will journey to 20% more ports and almost 50% more countries next year than it will this year.

More overnight stays in port are also planned.

The cruise line will be offering 97 cruises ranging from a new three-day sampler to new seven-day itineraries. Its ultimate voyage is a 106-day World Cruise.

Said Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales and marketing:

“Our 2006 schedule offers a variety of port-intensive itineraries to appeal to those who want to immerse themselves in a destination, as well as cruises with more days at sea for multi-repeaters who relish Crystal’s onboard experience.”
