Crystal Cites Early European Booking Patterns, Releases Itineraries Earlier

Noting earlier booking patterns for its European itineraries, Crystal Cruises has published its 2008 European collection brochure months ahead of schedule. From April through November 2008, Crystal will operate 29 European itineraries, visiting 84 ports aboard its two ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. "Due to onboard booking incentives and the strong interest we're experiencing in 2008, we accelerated production of our 2008 Europe Crystal Collection," said Nitsa Lewis, Crystal's vice president of marketing. Highlights include seven new ports of call including Sarande, Albania; Valencia, Spain; and Olden, Norway; 11 theme cruises; and a special appearance by former White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater, on Crystal Serenity's July 7 voyage from Venice to Athens.
