Guests will spend an average of 2 to 3 nights in each destination, staying at luxury hotels, resorts, safari lodges and eco-villages.

Seats also feature Bose Noise Cancelling headphones, Apple iPads, complimentary global WiFi, interactive TVs with on-demand programming and music library, individual USB ports and power outlets, and a live cockpit-to-ground listening channel.

A social lounge with stand-up bar and dedicated table seating is designed to foster friendly camaraderie among passengers, while cuisine will be prepared by an executive chef in two state-of-the-art galleys. Food will be paired with a premium wine list.

“Crystal AirCruises will push the boundaries of what luxury travelers have traditionally thought possible within one vacation experience, as our guests will be able to span the globe in the course of a few weeks without sacrificing the ease and stylish comfort they expect from a Crystal vacation,” said Crystal CEO and president, Edie Rodriguez. “For instance, wine lovers need not choose just one exceptional winegrowing region, but can immerse themselves in several of the most acclaimed areas with the benefit of our luxury aircraft to whisk them easily to the next destination. Likewise, travelers need not limit their exploration of the world’s ancient icons due to distance, as Crystal AirCruises provides the ability to contextualize the history and significance of many in one vacation.”

Each Crystal AirCruises itinerary is based on four curated all-inclusive destination experiences from which guests can choose, as well as mix and match to create their ideal vacation: “Exhilarating Adventures”, “Personal Connections”, “Cultural Discoveries” and “Tantalizing Gastronomy”.

For the ultimate custom voyage, Crystal’s “Designed by You” option offers travelers the services of the Crystal AirCruises Director, the expert concierge who hosts the entire AirCruise and land experience, attending to guests’ individual needs and wishes throughout. Designed by You goes beyond the extensive selection of curated experiences, allowing guests to create unstructured programs customized to their wishes.
