Crystal Cruises expanded its golf theme cruises for 2008.

During three 11- and 12-day golf cruises, guests can tee off in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands, and the maritime coast of Canada and New England.

In addition to championship golf ashore and onboard events, golfers can compete in hole-in-one competitions for a chance to win a free Crystal cruise. The optional shoreside golf excursions include tee times, tipping and transportation. Storage and cleaning of guests' golf clubs and shoes are also provided after each round.

PGA pros will join Crystal guests at such courses as the Monte Carlo Golf Club perched 3,000 feet above the French Riviera, Spain's El Saler Golf Course, and Lisbon's Penha Longa Golf Course at the foot of the Sintra Mountain Range.

These special golf cruises feature golf clinics, group and private instruction from the visiting PGA professionals, celebrity hosts and the opportunity to golf in as many as three different countries on a single voyage.

Crystal's exclusive partnership with TaylorMade enables guests to practice their swing with the number one driver on the PGA tour.

The first golf theme cruise of 2008 will be held April 26 to May 7 aboard Crystal Serenity from Rome to London, calling in Monte Carlo, Monaco; Valencia, Spain; Gibraltar, U.K.; and Lisbon, Portugal.

The Crystal Symphony's Sept. 27 to Oct. 8 cruise aboard Crystal Symphony from Montréal to New York will call at Québec, Canada; Corner Brook, Newfoundland; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Bal Harbor, Maine; and Boston.

The Crystal Serenity's Oct. 30 to Nov. 11 cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon calls at Valencia, Málaga and Cádiz/Seville, Spain; Casablanca, Morocco; Canary Islands; and Madeira, Portugal. Cruise fares begin at $3,780 per person, double occupancy.

Golf excursion rates vary by course, and must be pre-reserved.
