Crystal Cruises Offers Six New Boutique Adventures Aboard Crystal Serenity's East Coast/New England Voyages

Crystal Cruises is offering six new boutique adventures on Crystal Serenity's East Coast/New England cruises from September to November 2014. Boutique Adventures are shoreside outings that include new excursions in Boston and New York City. Excursions include:

New York City

·         A Private Tour of an empty MoMA – While the Museum of Modern Art is closed to the public, a local art historian will take the group on a private tour, followed by independent exploration.

·         Skybox at Daniel: Crystal reserved seats for four guests to not only dine at Chef Daniel Boulud’s three Michelin-Starred Daniel restaurant, but take part in an eight-course tasting menu at the chef’s table—a glass-enclosed Skybox suspended above the main dining room and open kitchen.

Boston
·         Behind the Scenes at the New England Aquarium – A museum educator will walk guests through how the aquarium is run behind-the-scenes, then sip champagne at “America’s Oldest Restaurant.”
