Crystal Cruises’ 2012 World Cruise to Visit 35 Ports

Crystal Cruises’ 2012 World Cruise is a 94-day epic journey exploring the diverse cultures of the Pacific Rim.

On a rare course round-trip from Los Angeles departing 18 January 2012, Crystal’s 17th annual World Cruise will visit 35 ports in five segments, with multiple overnight stays on Crystal Serenity’s route through Hawaii, the South Pacific, eastern and western Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Russia, Alaska, British Columbia and San Francisco. For the first time, the ultra-luxury line is including a three-day inclusive overland adventure in Beijing; a maiden call in Newcastle, Australia; and a return to South Korea for the first time since 1994.

Three days in Beijing: The three-day inclusive Crystal Overland Adventure to Beijing visits the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven.

Overnight Stays: Two-night stays in Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong and Beijing, and overnight stays in Honolulu, Sydney, Perth, Singapore, Bangkok, Shanghai, Osaka and Yokohama.

A pre-cruise exclusive Bon Voyage Gala with luxury accommodations in Los Angeles launches the voyage for all full World Cruise guests.

“Travel connoisseurs consider a Crystal World Cruise to be the ultimate luxury vacation, comprised of exotic destinations, one-of-a-kind adventures and special events coupled with Crystal’s renowned six-star service, enriching days at sea and attention to detail,” said Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales and marketing. “The shorter overall length of the 2012 voyage makes this grand voyage even more attractive to those trying their first World Cruise experience with Crystal.”

 Guests booking any 2011 World Cruise segment by 30 September 2010 can save 20% on any other 2011 or 2012 voyage, including 2012 World Cruise segments (not applicable to full World Cruise).
