Crystal Cruises is moving to tropical waters for the 2012 Christmas season with a 14-night Caribbean voyage round-trip from Miami onboard the recently redesigned Crystal Serenity. This voyage replaces a Holy Land cruise – and clients booking a 2011 Christmas cruise can save 20% on a 2012 Christmas cruise.
With Crystal’s ‘Save Now, Save Later’ promotion, travellers can save 20% on the 2012 all-inclusive Christmas/New Year’s sailing by booking one of this year’s holiday voyages to either Hawaii or the Panama Canal / Caribbean before 15th September 2011.
Crystal’s Vice President International Sales & Marketing, Philip Ordever, said: “For the 2012 festive season we are now offering guests the choice of two exciting destinations with Crystal Serenity in the Caribbean and Crystal Symphony in Australia and New Zealand. Plus, guests can save even more by making Crystal their luxury holiday choice for two years in a row.”
