Standby for discounted cruise rates
Crystal Cruises announced a rare "Standby" program that enables last-minute travelers to sail the line at up to 75 percent off brochure fares on five May-June sailings in Alaska, the Baltic and North Cape.
“Greatly reduced tiered pricing offers fares as low as US$2995 for 12-day cruises,” says PRNewswire.
"We haven’t offered anything like this in almost a decade," said Bill Smith, Crystal’s senior vice president, sales & marketing. He added:
"There is no doubt that travelers who make their decisions early are rewarded with early confirmation, a greater choice of accommodations, and value-added spending credits.”
Standby fares are based on availability, require a $500 per guest deposit upon reservation, and will be confirmed on a "first requested, first confirmed" basis no earlier than 45 days prior to departure.
Crystal Cruises’ resort experience always includes a host of complimentary amenities, from enlightening enrichment workshops to pampering pillow menus and specialty dining featuring the cuisine of Nobu Matsuhisa and Piero Selvaggio.
Standby fares on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity are cruise-only,and do not include air transportation; port, security and handling charges; or "All Inclusive – As You Wish" spending credits.
Fares quoted are per person, based on double occupancy accommodations, and other restrictions apply.
Final payment is due within three days of confirmation.

• 12-day Alaska cruises — round-trip from San Francisco — Departing May 9, 21 and June 2
