Crystal Sets 2008 Value Collection

With Some Sailings from Miami, FL

Luxury Line Offers Up to 52% Off 11 Sailings

Crystal Cruises has announced its 2008 Value Collection sailings, allowing savvy travelers the opportunity to plan ahead for their luxury cruise and garner savings of up to 52% off regular cruise fares aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity (shown at right*).

Crystal’s 2008 Value Collection features 11 diverse sailings of 10 to 17 days through the Panama Canal, South America, the Mediterranean, Western Europe, Caribbean and a Trans-Pacific voyage from Los Angeles to Hong Kong.

“Value Collection sailings provide seasoned and first-time Crystal cruisers an opportunity to experience Crystal’s award-winning service, space, quality and choices at up to two-for-one savings,” says Bill Smith, Crystal’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Unlike last-minute travel deals, with our Value Collection, travelers can plan a 2008 Crystal vacation in advance and know the value is exceptionally compelling.”

Typically offered during shoulder seasons or on repositioning cruises, the Value Collection for 2008 reflects a sampling of both close-to-home and exotic voyages. 

Five Value Collection cruises are scheduled for Crystal Symphony and six for Crystal Serenity. The itineraries listed below are from southern U.S. ports. All offer savings of up to 50% except where noted.
