Crystal Introduces Private Adventures

The trend toward enhancement of the shore side of a cruise experience continues with the news that Crystal Cruises has launched "Crystal Private Adventures" to further personalize its guests' shore experiences. The line's Private Adventures specialists will accommodate everything from personalized arrangements to a private chartered yacht. Crystal Private Adventures is offered to guests already booked on a Crystal cruise for a $100 nonrefundable charge, due upon receipt of request. If the guest accepts the personalized shore program, the service fee is applied to the booking. There are three ways to pre-reserve. Agents or clients may go to [www.crystalcruises.com] and click on "Crystal Private Adventures" under the Crystal Adventures (shore excursion) tab. Guests complete the online form and e-mail it directly to [email protected]. Also, a form is included in the 90-day preliminary documents sent to all guests, with a direct return fax number to the Crystal Private Adventures desk. Or, agents or guests may call 866-446-6625 to discuss details. All verbal requests must then be confirmed in writing via email or fax. Details of each Crystal Private Adventure are shared with the respective ship in advance of sail date, and guests receive a confirmed agenda and tour tickets upon boarding.
