Our Crystal Cruises Canada and New England Fall foliage cruise from two years ago serves as the gold standard for butler service at sea.  Whitney and I were treated quite nicely from the time we walked on to Crystal Serenity until we reluctantly said goodbye 10 days later. The Crystal product is done well, in a way that seems effortless; just how they do things as the experience flows from one element to another.  Not surprisingly, with a focused plan for the future Crystal is growing, as it deserves to be.  Let’s take a look at what Crystal Cruises has in store for traveler, beginning with their 2019 World Cruise.

 

Crystal Cruises Future Brings 2019 World Cruise
