Crystal Cruise Offers New Air Options - 2008 Europe


Crystal Cruises is expanding its air/sea program with two new air upgrade options for its 2008 Western and Northern Europe cruises.

A partnership with Eos Airlines provides a corporate jet-like experience, while Premium Economy service through British Airways and Scandinavian Airways offers more legroom and comfort than coach.

The services are available from specific U.S. gateways in addition to Crystal's coach air/sea fares.

This air upgrade is available to Crystal guests for travel between New York's JFK International Airport and London's Stansted International Airport in conjunction with nine April-through-August European and Baltic cruises beginning or ending in London, as well as the September transatlantic crossing from London to New York.


The air add-on fare is $1,300 more each way than the line's round-trip coach fare.

The Premium Economy upgrade is offered with all eight Baltic, North Cape and British Isles cruises departing June through August, as well as the September transatlantic voyage from London to New York.

The service is available on round-trips to London, Copenhagen and Stockholm via British Airways or Scandinavian Airlines, depending on the U.S. gateway. Round-trip add-on fares are $700 to $1,200 more than Crystal's coach air/sea fares.

The Crystal Symphony's Northern European cruises are seven to 14 days. Fares begin at $4,595 per person, double occupancy.

The cruise lines 11-, 12- and 13-day Western Europe itineraries on Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony begin at $3,395 per person, double occupancy.
