Each time I start a recipe that calls for Asian spices my mind wanders back to the fantastic memories we created when we meandered along the Great Wall of China. Would we have ventured to Asia on our own? Maybe… but visiting so many incredible destinations (China, Indonesia,
Southeast Asia) on one trip aboard our beautiful ship was so easy. Alex and I got settled in our luxurious stateroom and then didn't have to worry about a thing-simply time to enjoy and explore. And, a special bonus on board: dining
at the Sushi Bar. The omakase was truly out of this world.
Remembering the scent of star anise, fragrant tea leaves, the opulent Thai silks shot with
golden threads, the staff aboard our ship that made it all so perfect immediately knowing our name s and favorite drinks…
when will we be there again?

From our friends at the Trident Grill to our waiter at teatime, and our super-efficient stateroom attendant, the service could not have been more attentive.

WOULD YOU HAVE THIS VARIETY ?
On journeys to the far corners of the world, your
culinary curiosities are tantalized with an incredible
variety of cultured flavors. French bistro fare to
lavishly prepared American-, Asian- and Latin-themed
luncheons, authentic preparations and the freshest
ingredients are key to Crystal’s celebrated cuisine—
as are the variety of choices. Indulge in the refined
service of a leisurely lunch in the Crystal Dining
Room, and savor a proper English tea presented in
Palm Court. Relax amidst the casual-yet-cultured
California vibe found high on Lido Deck where
delectable sweet potato fries are enjoyed poolside at
Trident Grill. Custom-made pastas and salads are on
offer at the open and airy Lido Café, and a full lunch
menu of Global Comfort Food at Tastes aboard
Crystal Serenity—boasting specialties from steamed
dumplings and stir fried noodles, to Italian pizzas and
Manhattan Beach Burgers—satisfies every palette.

CUISINE THAT TRANSCENDS.
25 years of creating award-winning cuisine propels
Crystal’s culinary story to new levels of purity,
creativity and choice. Beginning with a reimagined
Dining Room experience that offers a Crystal Classic
menu of traditional fare and now also pushes the
boundaries of culinary technique and science with a
new Modern Cuisine menu, to the legendary fusion
of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa at Silk Road and The Sushi
Bar. The new Global Inspired evening menu at Tastes
serves an eclectic variety of family-style cuisine,
from a savory Alsatian Tarte to a Trio of California
Street Tacos. Relish traditional Italian favorites
and intimate table side service at Prego, or spoil
yourself with a dinner in the Vintage Room pairing
menus with wines both rare and undiscovered. Each
evening, anticipation fills every Crystal restaurant
throughout the ship. What will it be tonight? With
Crystal, the choices are always yours.
September 16, Nova Scotia We found it ironic (and wonderful!)that we were enjoying sushi from Nobu, and the best Italian and French cuisine that we'd ever had anywhere in the world, and we happened to be sailing up the eastern seaboard.

Sophisticated diversions appeal to every interest

cocktail parties to late nights of Vegas-style gaming
in the Crystal Casino, electrifying nightlife at
pulsating clubs, and camaraderie and conversation
at the Avenue Saloon piano bar. Always on the

DESTINATION INSIDER’S GUIDE
CARIBBEAN & PANAMA CANAL
The trade winds of the Caribbean bathe the senses,
while warm ocean breezes, sandy white beaches and
turquoise waters stir the soul. Volcanic islands lush with
rich flora and fauna are playgrounds for diving, dining
and exploring...each with its own unique personality
that together create paradise. And connecting two great
oceans is the wonder of the Panama Canal, a marvel of
engineering that boasts Mayan intrigue to the east and
eco-adventure to the west.
From the simple rhythms of everyday life to designated
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there are certain places
that must be seen to truly experience a destination.
Here we share some insider views to help you plan your
journey with Crystal. Ports featuring
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are
marked here and throughout the
itineraries with .
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

this is one of the most popular playgrounds in the
Caribbean; try “helmet diving” off De Palm Island and

CURAÇAO Experience the contrast of urban UNESCO site
Willemstad and the spectacular Hato Caves and views
from Mount Christoffel. Voyages 5228, 5302

5231, 6206
OCHO RIOS (Jamaica) A true island paradise of “eight
rivers,” this ecological wonderland invites you to hike the
Dunn’s River Falls, raft along the Martha Brae River or try
a “bobsled” ride through a verdant rainforest. Voyages
5230, 6204
SAN JUAN (Puerto Rico) Rich in history, La Fortaleza
is the oldest governor’s mansion in the western
hemisphere; be sure to see the mahogany clock which
stopped in time when the last Spanish governor of
Puerto Rico struck it with his sword on his way out,
heralding the last moment of Spanish rule in the New
World. Voyages 5229, 5231, 5232
ST. BARTS (French West Indies) Charming and slow-
paced, here you will find spectacular beaches, small
volcanic mountains and quaint Creole-style villages.
Voyages 5301, 5229, 5231, 6206
ST. KITTS (West Indies) Situated nearly 800 feet above
sea level, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is one of
the most dramatic spots in the entire Caribbean. Voyages
5229, 5231, 5301
ST. LUCIA (West Indies) An idyllic Windward Island of
quaint bays and lush landscapes defined by the verdant
Pitons rising from a crystalline sea; take the Rainforest
Aerial tram for a sky-reaching ride through an emerald
canopy. Voyage 5301
ST. MAARTEN For a truly rare experience, set sail aboard
a yacht that once competed in the America’s Cup and
be trained for a thrilling and enjoyable adventure.
Voyage 5301
TORTOLA (British Virgin Islands) The waters here are
revered by sailors and divers the world over, and one
particular beachside cove was memorialized in Jimmy
Buffet’s Mañana—a visit to Cane Garden Bay is a must.
Voyages 5229, 5231, 5301

Claver Church. Voyages 5213, 5230, 5302, 6204, 6206

Mexican Riviera resort city is embraced by rugged
tropical mountains and the beautiful Banderas Bay; shop
for leather goods, shell and silver jewelry, or painted
figurines from Oaxaca… or just enjoy the happy sunshine.
Voyages 5213, 6301
NICARAGUA
SAN JUAN DEL SUR Once a sleepy fishing village, this
maiden port has been energized by the discovery of its
charming, crescent-shaped bay, excellent surfing and
fishing, and authentic, laid-back culture; the hilltop statue
Christ of the Mercy gazes upon the bay, similar to Rio
de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer, but on a much smaller
scale. Voyage 6301

DESTINATION INSIDER’S GUIDE
TRANS-ATLANTIC
There is perhaps nothing quite as indulgent as an ocean
crossing, blissful days at sea to design exactly as you wish,
enjoying the amenities of the cruise line voted World’s
Best more than any other in history. And at either end of
your Trans-Atlantic journey, the sophisticated enrichment
of world-class cities and the natural wonders of islands

experienced. Journey aboard Crystal with some helpful
insider’s tips before you leave. Don’t
miss the ports featuring UNESCO
World Heritage Sites marked here and
throughout the itineraries with .
BERMUDA

ENGLAND
PORTLAND Symbolizing mystery, power and endurance,
Stonehenge is among the most famous of the world’s

prehistoric origins; its astronomical significance is still
being explored. Voyage 5214

a par 70 championship course set inside a volcanic
crater—the millions of puffins who summer here are
a breathtaking sight atop the island’s soaring cliffs.
Voyage 5214
IRELAND
DUBLIN Boasting one of the loveliest settings in Europe,

Voyages 5308, 5331
PONTA DELGADA According to legend, seven towns

actually a volcanic crater of striking lakes, curious houses,

MEDITERRANEAN
DESTINATION INSIDER’S GUIDE
THE MEDITERRANEAN
To the ancient Romans, the Mediterranean was believed
to be the center of the earth. Almost completely
surrounded by three continents, it is a wise sea, its deep
blue waters holding the secrets of explorers, merchants
and adventurers of centuries past. From deep in the
Greek Isles, following the French Riviera and around the
Costa del Sol to Bordeaux and beyond, the captivating
allure of the Mediterranean and its Western European
neighbors is timeless.
From the simple rhythms of everyday life to designated
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there are certain places
that must be seen to truly experience a destination.
Here we share some insider views to help you plan your
journey with Crystal. Ports featuring
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are
marked here and throughout the
itineraries with .
ALBANIA
SARANDË Boasting an idyllic location on the Ionian
Sea, Sarandë is just opposite the Greek island of Corfu.
See Butrint, or ancient Buthrotum, one of the most
remarkable archaeological sites in the Adriatic Sea
region known for its ruins and picturesque lagoon.
Voyage 5324
CROATIA
DUBROVNIK Trek the fortified walls of the Old City,
bike the magnificent Konavle Valley, snorkel the caves
at Kolocep Island, or savor the local wines and world-
famous Ston oysters in the village of Ponikve. Voyages
5311, 5312, 5320, 5324
SPLIT At the end of the third century AD, the Roman
Emperor Diocletian built his palace here; today,
Diocletian’s Palace is renowned for its level of
preservation as is the medieval, Romanesque, Gothic
and Baroque architecture throughout the city’s historic
complex. Voyage 5324
ENGLAND
LONDON/DOVER London enchants with Big Ben and
its iconic tower, while Westminster Abbey (site of all
sovereign crownings since the 11th century), Westminster
Palace and St. Margaret’s Church illustrate the historic
significance of parliamentary monarchy. Voyage 5317
FRANCE
BORDEAUX The historic Port of the Moon is a gateway
to world-famous vineyards such as Médoc, St-Émilion,
Pomerol, Graves and Sauternes; a visit to the Grand

A fairytale-like destination of contrasts, Northern Europe

hour—this is Bodø’s Saltstraumen, the world’s strongest
maelstrom. Voyage 5216

It was fantastic to take a cruise so close to home yet so different from any other vacation weBve ever spent on the East Coast. Fall in Central Park and throughout New England was a treat for the senses with yellows and oranges painting the trees. And seeing the coastal cities from

NEW ENGLAND & CANADA
DESTINATION INSIDER’S GUIDE
World-class cities and historic colonial landmarks dot
the New England seaboard. Whales breach in the waters
off Nova Scotia. Trees of crimson, vermillion and ochre
cast a colorful blanket over lighthouses and church
steeples. Nowhere else in the world does Mother Nature
prepare for winter as she does along these northeastern
shores. From the cosmopolitan elegance of Montréal
to Old Québec’s fortified walls; from Boston’s Freedom
Trail to Nova Scotia’s wildlife trails, discover the
cultural enrichment and wildlife adventures unique
to North America.
From the simple rhythms of everyday life to designated
UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there are certain places
that must be seen to truly experience a destination.
Here we share some insider views to help you plan your
journey with Crystal. Ports featuring
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are
marked here and throughout the
itineraries with .
CANADA
CHARLOTTETOWN (Prince Edward Island) Awarded the
#1 island in Canada & the U.S. by Travel + Leisure, 2013;
visit the beautiful St. Dunstan’s Basilica, enjoy the cafés
and shops along Victoria Row, or take off on a wildlife
adventure to explore the island’s bucolic scenery and
lush landscapes. Voyage 5226
HALIFAX (Nova Scotia) The most Scottish of all Canada’s
great cities—be sure to take home an authentic tartan—
you won’t want to miss seeing the iconic lighthouse
at Peggy’s Cove or the Citadel Fortress; consider, too,
a white-water rafting adventure on the Shubenacadie
River. Voyages 5214, 5222, 5224, 5226
MAGDALEN ISLANDS (Provence du Québec) In the middle
of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this windswept archipelago
is still largely unspoiled by urban trappings; over 250
species of birds migrate here, and harp seals make the
islands their home. Voyages 5223, 5224, 5226
MONTRÉAL (Provence du Québec) A visit to the majestic
Gothic Revival cathedral Basilique Notre-Dame is an
absolute must, boasting one of the largest Casavant
organs in North America; see also the Musée des Beaux-
Arts de Montréal. Voyages 5222, 5223, 5224, 5225, 5226
QUÉBEC CITY (Provence du Québec) Just northeast of
the UNESCO-designated Vieux-Québec (Old Town),
Montmorency Falls Park enchants with striking falls that
are one and a half times taller than Niagara Falls. Voyages
5222, 5223, 5224, 5225, 5226
SAINT JOHN (New Brunswick) Join a renowned local
photographer for a creative expedition around North
America’s oldest city with picture-perfect vantage points
offered atop Signal Hill. Voyages 5225, 5227
SAINT-PIERRE & MIQUELON (France) The last vestiges
of France’s colonization of the continent, these two tiny
island towns off the coast of Newfoundland are truly
French, making them unique destinations unlike any
other place in North America. Voyage 5223
SEPT-ÎLES (Provence du Québec) Climb aboard a
12-person Zodiac to cruise the splendid archipelago,
recognized as one of the five best places in the world to
see whales. Voyage 5223
SYDNEY (Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia) Gateway to
the spectacular beauty of the Cape Breton Highlands and
the Bras d’Or Lakes; Baddeck, site of Alexander Graham
Bell’s summer home, is also within easy reach. Voyages
5221, 5222, 5226
121New England & Canadacrystalcruises.com
UNITED STATES
BAR HARBOR (Maine) A sense of adventure is all that
is needed for a mountain biking experience along the
famous carriage trails of Acadia National Park. Voyages
5214, 5222, 5224, 5225
BOSTON (Massachusetts) Mix history and fitness with a
2.5-mile walk along the Freedom Trail; be sure to visit the
Museum of Fine Arts, revered for its eclectic art as well as
its stunning architecture. Voyages 5225, 5226, 5227
NEWPORT (Rhode Island) Of course there are the
“summer cottages” of America’s Gilded Age to see, but
why not take the helm of an America’s Cup yacht to
explore Narragansett Bay? Voyages 5225, 5226, 5227
NEW YORK CITY (New York) Explore one of the world’s
premier scientific and cultural institutions on an exclusive,
pre-opening morning visit to the American Museum of
Natural History; take a bike ride through Central Park; and
be sure to visit the iconic UNESCO-designated Statue of
Liberty. Voyages 5213, 5214, 5221, 5222, 5224, 5225, 5226,
5227, 5228
PORTLAND (Maine) A small but sophisticated city, any
visit should include a walk along Congress Street in the
Arts District for a glimpse into history, a highlight of
which is the 19th century home of famed American poet
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; see also the Portland
Museum of Art. Voyage 5226
WATERWAYS
GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE First documented by French
explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, the world’s largest
estuary is a mecca for whale-watching, including minke,
humpback and blue; the white beluga whale makes
its home here year-round. Voyages 5222, 5223, 5224,
5225, 5226
SAGUENAY RIVER Flowing from the Laurentian Highlands
into the St. Lawrence estuary through a deep trough
in the Precambrian Shield, this majestic, powerful and
beautiful river is bordered by steep cliffs rising more than
1,600 feet above the water; the Saguenay Fjord, home to
four species of whale, was gouged by glaciers in the last
ice age. Voyages 5223, 5225

Our concierge Ana Maria, was our go-to person when we needed advice or info.
Experience the pinnacle of ultra-luxury
travel aboard the award-winning ships of Crystal
Cruises. A commitment to excellence—and an
investment of nearly $120 million in the last few
years alone—consistently earns our ships recognition
as the absolute best by leaders in both hospitality
and design. Just recently, Crystal Serenity emerged
from a comprehensive $17 million redesign with a
contemporary new style and several “industry firsts”
including living walls of greenery and allergy-friendly
staterooms. Together with Crystal Symphony, both
ships boast the latest in cutting-edge technologies
and a fashionably chic ambience that is elegant yet
modern, channeling the best of Southern California,
the Hamptons and the South of France.

AIR TRANSPORTATION/LUGGAGE
Transfers, porterage and luggage handling are part of our
optional Crystal Air/Sea Program. If you choose to arrange for
air travel independently, you may purchase embarkation and
disembarkation airport transfers from Crystal Cruises up to
seven days prior to the cruise.
When making your own air arrangements, we recommend
allowing a minimum of five hours between your flight arrival
time and the ship’s sailing time. Specific port and pier
information and embarkation times are stated on your cruise
ticket. Port authorities sometimes change the location of
the pier or berth number, so be sure that you actually see
your ship when you arrive at the port/pier. You must be on
board the ship at least 2 hours prior to sailing. If the ship is
scheduled to remain in port overnight or has a scheduled
departure time after 9 pm, please plan to be at the pier no
later than 7 pm for security clearance and check-in.
When planning your return flights, please take into
consideration the date and time the ship docks at the
final port. Customs and Immigration must conduct
various inspections before you are allowed to disembark.
Disembarkation usually starts around 8:30 am and all guests
must debark the ship by 10 am. Times may vary if the ship
is in port the night prior to disembarkation. Before booking
your departing flights, please also take into account the
time needed at the airport for airline check-in and security
procedures. Some cities require a longer transfer time due to
stringent customs procedures or travel time to the airport.
If you are making independent reservations to fly home
directly after the cruise, your travel agent should contact
Crystal Cruises’ Reservations for flight departure guidelines,
which vary by cruise itinerary and port. In addition, when
disembarking at a U.S. or Canadian port, flights should be
scheduled no earlier than 12 noon.
Guests should contact the airlines directly to add frequent flyer
numbers for mileage accrual, secure seat assignments, arrange
for special service requirements, and provide a personal phone
contact for last-minute flight updates.
Details regarding checked and carry-on luggage allowances
(restrictions, size, weight and quantity) and applicable fees,
miscellaneous service airline fees or other flight-related
inquiries should be discussed directly with the airlines or
through your travel agent.
Flight schedules sometimes change. We strongly suggest that
you reconfirm all flight numbers, flight times, check-in times,
departure terminals and locations, and seat assignments for
both outbound and return flights 96 hours prior to departure.
BAGGAGE, VALUABLES & OTHER POSSESSIONS
Guests may bring aboard the ship a reasonable amount of
clothing and personal eWects without charge, subject to
airline restrictions. All baggage must be securely packed and
distinctly labeled with the guest’s full name, the name of the
ship, the stateroom number of the guest and the sailing date
of the ship. All checked baggage must be locked.
Guests must personally carry baggage containing breakable
items and valuables, including but not limited to jewelry,
watches, money, precious stones and metals, securities,
checks, other financial instruments and/or tickets, at all times
during transit, including but not limited to on and oW the ship.
Guests should not give such baggage containing breakable
items or valuables to anyone at any time, including but not
limited to porters, ship personnel or anyone else who is not
known personally to the guest, regardless of any assurances
given that it is safe to do so, at any time, including during
transit to and from the airport, arrival at the ship, boarding
and checking into guest’s stateroom, or at any other time
while traveling. Such baggage is the full and sole personal
responsibility of the guest at all times and may not be
included with checked baggage.
Guests are personally responsible for their baggage
throughout the travel process and should personally ensure
that their valuables are carried to their staterooms and stored
appropriately in the stateroom safe or in the ship safe available
at the Front Desk. Crystal Cruises is not responsible for loss of
or damage to any such items.
BOARDING THE SHIP
The exact embarkation and sailing times are specified on your
cruise ticket. All guests must carry a passport that is valid for
six months after the end of the cruise in order to embark.
When in port during a cruise, our unique computerized
security system takes a reading of each guest’s photo room
key card at the gangway for identification purposes, and to
inform the ship when a guest leaves and returns. All personal
items are scanned by an x-ray machine each time a guest
boards to ensure the safety and security of all on board.
Please note: To help ensure an eYcient embarkation process,
it is highly recommended that guests register their credit cards
online at our Priority Check-in & Planning Center before the
cruise. Please refer to page 162 for more details about our
Priority Check-in & Planning Center.
If you have not registered your credit card prior to arrival,
you will need to do so during embarkation. Registering your
credit card provides you with the convenience of settling
your onboard expenses using our Express Check-out System,
ensuring a smooth and expeditious process at the conclusion
of your cruise. You will receive an itemized statement delivered
to your stateroom on the morning of debarkation, and your
credit card will be billed automatically through your credit card
company. If you wish, at the conclusion of the cruise, you may
BEFORE YOU SAIL
161crystalcruises.com
elect to pay for your onboard expenses in cash or by check at
Reception. If you decide to pay for your expenses by cash or
check, please notify the Reception Desk and your credit card
will not be charged.
CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS/DRESS CODES
Throughout the day, our guests wear a mix of active resort
wear. Dining room attire is casual during the day; however,
swimsuits, swimsuit cover-ups/robes and baseball hats are
not appropriate. If you do not wish to change for a meal in the
afternoon or evening, alfresco dining on deck is available. If
you choose to change your attire following the evening dinner
and other festivities, please maintain a minimum style of dress
in keeping with the Resort Casual dress code (please see
descriptions following). After 6 pm, casual daytime attire is
not appropriate. Shorts and baseball caps are not permitted
for men or women.
For days in port, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes.
Check with your travel agent for special items you might want to
pack for your destination and the time of year you are traveling.
There are bathrobes, kimonos and slippers in each stateroom
for your use during the cruise. Other amenities include a
clothes brush, shoehorn, hair dryer, soap, Aveda shampoo and
conditioner, body lotion, sewing kit and umbrella.
Evening Dress Code
Guests are requested to adhere to the recommended dress
codes for evenings on board. After 6 pm, casual daytime
attire is not appropriate. Shorts and baseball caps are not
permitted for men or women.
Resort Casual
Slacks and a sweater or shirt for men; casual dress, skirt or

not required.
Elegant Casual
Suit or slacks with a jacket over a sweater or shirt for men. Ties
are optional. Cocktail dress, skirt or slacks with a sweater or
blouse for women. Jeans are not appropriate.
Black Tie Optional
While Elegant Casual is always appropriate in the evening, a
Black Tie Optional evening oWers a celebratory opportunity
to dress more formally on a special evening(s). For men, this
includes a dark suit with tie or tuxedo; for women, this includes
a formal cocktail dress, evening gown or dressy evening
separates. On Black Tie Optional evenings, we request that
jeans not be worn in any dining venues or lounges, including
the Casino.
For your convenience, the recommended dress code for each
evening of your cruise is listed in the daily itinerary section of
the Priority Check-in & Planning Center (PCPC) accessible at
crystalcruises.com.
CRUISE TICKET/LUGGAGE TAGS
Your cruise ticket is enclosed with your travel documents; it
must be in your possession, along with your valid passport,
when you board the ship. Please read the complete terms and
conditions on your cruise ticket, as you are bound by them.
Immediately following the terms and conditions, you will
find the Cruise Itinerary and Travel Advisories with important
details specific to your travel plans. Prior to leaving for the
airport, please be sure to complete and attach a Crystal
Cruises luggage tag to each checked bag so it can be easily
identified upon arrival.
CRYSTAL SOCIETY
If you have sailed with us before, you are a member of the
Crystal Society and have a personal Crystal Society number.
Please make sure your travel agent has this number to ensure
that you receive your Crystal Society benefits and savings
on future cruises. If you wish to redeem a Crystal Society
Milestone on your cruise, it must be requested by your travel
agent before you sail. Please refer to the terms and conditions
of the Crystal Society Benefits Program for further information,
available at crystalcruises.com.
INOCULATIONS
Requirements for inoculations often change. Crystal Cruises
informs you of the health requirements; however, it is your
responsibility to have all required vaccinations with a signed
International Certificate of Vaccination. We recommend that
you contact your personal physician with any health concerns.
Failure to comply can result in refusal of passage by
international Customs and Immigration authorities.
MEET & ASSIST
Domestic
If you are participating in our optional Air/Sea Program or have
purchased our transfers or requested Meet and Assist services
in cities where this service is available, a Crystal Cruises
representative will meet you in the baggage claim area. Please
claim your luggage and leave both the luggage and claim
checks with the representative.
International
If you are arriving on an international flight, you will need to
proceed through Immigration, claim your luggage and clear
Customs prior to meeting your representative. You will then be
escorted to the motor coach for the transfer service.
Crystal VIP Airport Service
In order to ensure a more seamless travel experience, consider
our optional service that allows you to arrange customized
assistance starting from your home all the way to the ship,
including personal attention at the airport during check-in,
connections, security and Customs. To reserve the Crystal VIP
Airport Service, log into your booking at the Priority Check-in
& Planning Center (PCPC).
BEFORE YOU SAIL
162 crystalcruises.com
PASSPORTS/VISAS
A passport valid for six months after the completion of the
cruise is required for ALL guests. Four blank visa pages are
recommended per cruise for international voyages. Guests
must take full responsibility for securing the required travel
documents prior to departure. Failure to comply may result in
refusal of passage by Customs and Immigration authorities.
On most cruises, passports are collected and retained by
ship staW for the duration of your voyage in order to facilitate
oYcial clearance in each port of call.
Visa Requirements
Visa requirements vary from country to country. Crystal Cruises
informs U.S. citizens of specific visa requirements. Visa
information may also be obtained through the local embassy or
consulate of the countries you will be visiting. As requirements
vary for each nationality, we request that all non-U.S. citizens
contact their travel agent or local authorities to determine their
individual visa requirements for ALL ports. Failure to comply
with requirements may result in refusal of passage. It is your
responsibility to obtain all necessary visas. Visas must be
obtained regardless of whether you plan to go ashore or remain
on board while in ports which require visas. Everyone must be
cleared by local Immigration authorities upon arrival in port,
regardless of the length of the ship’s call.
Please note: We recommend you contact your travel agent
to ensure you have secured all necessary visas and that all
documentation is up to date. Crystal Cruises cannot be held
responsible at the time of sailing for any visa information
provided by us or travel agents, as visa rules and requirements
change regularly.
PRIORITY CHECK-IN & PLANNING CENTER
Our Priority Check-in & Planning Center (PCPC) at
crystalcruises.com will streamline your embarkation process
and allow you to pre-reserve shipboard and shoreside
activities. Full-fare guests who have made a deposit and have
a booking number may pre-reserve their Crystal Adventures
shore excursions online.
Please note: Guests will not be able to access PCPC within
seven (7) days prior to sailing. Guests who have paid for their
cruise in full and completed Priority Check-in may also make
the following pre-cruise reservations online:
• Spa and salon appointments
• Specialty restaurant dinner reservations
• Dining by Reservation
• Complimentary Creative Learning Institute classes
• The Vintage Room Wine-Makers Dinners

All reservations are subject to availability. Online reservations

submit your dietary requests in writing to our Onboard Guest
Services department no later than 90 days prior to your cruise,

kosher wines, is available on a limited basis on every itinerary.
All chefs, kitchen and dining staW have been trained in
kosher food preparation, handling and servicing. Only kosher

resources, the number of guests per cruise who may partake
in our kosher-style program is restricted to 20. Guests whose
diet requires it or who wish to dine kosher-style must provide
us with advance notice at the time of the initial reservation
and no less than 90 days prior to sailing. We will do all that we
can to ensure your needs are met. Due to limited availability,
kosher-style dining is subject to confirmation by Crystal Cruises.

VALUABLES
While in transit to and from the ship, or when participating

valuables such as jewelry, medication, tickets, passports and
visas should be packed with your hand luggage and kept with
you at all times. Please note: We highly recommend that you
keep your carry-on luggage with you when in transit. Should

For additional details, please refer to your cruise ticket and the
Baggage, Valuables & Other Possessions section on page 160 of

CRYSTAL SOCIETY PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
The 2015/2016 Program applies to sailings beginning January 4, 2015
(Crystal Serenity) and January 5 2015 (Crystal Symphony), eWective
for bookings made after February 4, 2013. This Program supersedes
any prior Programs. Guests are eligible for participation in the
Program after completion of their first full-fare cruise and upon
commencement of their second full-fare cruise.
PROGRAM RULES
All Crystal Society Membership Benefits Program rewards and
cruise levels are per person, nontransferable (in whole, or in
part) and may not be redeemed as cash. Solo travelers receive
the per person rewards and benefits listed in the Crystal Society
Membership Benefits brochure. Guests must physically embark
on and complete a non-concession or full-fare voyage to receive
credit for a particular cruise.
All rewards convert to current year of redemption.
FREE CRUISES
All free cruise rewards are cruise-only, based on stateroom/
Penthouse availability at the time of the reservation, and apply to
cruises between 7 and 12 days in length. Requests must be made at
least 21 days in advance through your travel consultant.
UPGRADES
Milestone level upgrades will be applied at the sole discretion of
the Crystal Society Department and may be oWered as a pro-ration
of cruise pricing, including onboard and Crystal Society savings.
Upgrades may not be requested after embarkation. Credits earned
after embarkation may not be applied to your current combination
of multiple voyages. A new booking made on board to extend your
cruise vacation may apply, but only at the discretion of the Crystal
Society Department. Note: Changes made to bookings will be
based on pricing in eWect at time of requested Milestone approval,
not at the time of the booking. Free cruises and upgrades may not
be re-fared or redeemed after final payment is made.
All upgrades apply to cruises up to 12 days in length only
(depending on Milestone reward). Upgrades must be pre-arranged
at least 21 days before departure and are subject to space
availability at the time of the reservation. Free cruise benefit and
upgrades will not be granted on board and are not re-calculated
on board for back-to-back sailings or multi-cruise reservations.
SHIPBOARD CREDITS
All shipboard credits may not be applied as a deduction toward
current or future cruise fares, cruise port, security and handling
charges, prepaid shore excursions, or airfare add-ons. Cruise
credits may not be applied to cancelled reservations (whether paid
in full, or in part). Shipboard credits are non-redeemable for cash,
valid for one sailing (defined as a booking) only, do not apply to
the casino or Bingo, and are only applicable on board.
SPECIAL PENTHOUSE AMENITIES PACKAGE
If a Crystal Society member redeems his or her amenity package
and is also on a Crystal “Classic” or “Classic-Plus” Hotel Program,
he or she may take either the complimentary private car transfer
oWered with the Special Penthouse Amenities Package, or the city
tour and motor coach transfer oWered with the Hotel Programs,
but not both. No credit will be given for the unused transportation
and/or tour, and this special amenity is forfeited if not utilized in
conjunction with the shipboard credit on the same voyage. No
unused shipboard credit may be retained beyond the cruise to
which it is initially applicable.
MILESTONE REDEMPTION
Milestones are not automatically applied and must be requested
at least 21 days before departure. It is the travel agent’s or guest’s
responsibility to request and confirm the appropriate rewards prior
to the guest embarking on the vessel.
CRUISE LEVELS:
• One cruise between 5 and 15 days: Guests receive credit for one
cruise level.
• One cruise of 16 days or more: Guests receive credit for two
cruise levels.
• Cruise levels are posted at the conclusion of each cruise.
• Cruise levels are cumulative, are not deducted after earned, and
do not expire unless Program is discontinued.
• Cruise levels are nontransferable, and are awarded to the
individual who sails and not the person who pays.
HOLIDAY CRUISES
Upgrade and free-cruise Milestone level rewards do not apply to
any December Holiday Cruises. Guests may choose to apply these
Milestone rewards to their next applicable cruise. Shipboard credit
Milestone rewards may be applied to any December Holiday cruises.
COMBINABILITY
Crystal Society rewards may not apply to certain promotional
oWers on all Crystal cruises. American Express® Cruise Privileges
