Crystal Cruises is unveiling a new collection of early 2013 “Crystal Getaways”: five to 11-day segments. Crystal Symphony is offering shorter versions of published cruises from January through May.
Due to the success of the “Crystal Getaways” launched for fall 2012 Europe sailings, the ultra-luxury line is expanding its offerings to cruises worldwide, including options in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Alaska and New England. Each shorter segment features at least one overnight stay in some of the regions’ most beloved ports, and fares start as low as $1,365 per guest if booked by Dec.28.
