Crystal truly lives up to its promise—Exceptional at Sea. When I boarded the new Crystal, I was curious to see if it would live up to my expectations. It did—and then some. Right away, you notice the difference. The ships are a bit larger than most in the luxury category, which gives an immediate sense of space and comfort. The design feels timeless yet fresh, and the recent renovations have brought a beautiful sense of modern luxury throughout. The suites are simply stunning—especially the bathrooms. The showers are so incredible that a friend of mine actually replicated the Crystal shower in her new home! And of course, having a butler who anticipates your every need adds that extra touch of grace and care that makes you feel truly pampered. The service onboard is exceptional—warm, intuitive, and genuinely caring. The entertainment is top-notch too, with two great shows most evenings that really add to the experience. And then there’s the dining. Crystal has always been known for its cuisine, but the new additions—Osteria d’Ovidio and Beefbar, joining the beloved Umi Uma—have taken it to another level. Each meal feels like a celebration. What I love most about Crystal is that it manages to feel both refined and welcoming at the same time. It’s luxurious, yes, but never pretentious. When you book your Crystal voyage with me, you’re working with someone who truly knows the experience firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure of sailing in nearly every suite category, and I’ll make sure every detail of your journey is perfectly planned. Let’s start creating your Crystal voyage together—I promise it will be everything you’ve dreamed of and more.
