CRYSTAL CRUISES VOTED THE BEST CRUISE LINE IN 2009

Crystal Cruises has once again been voted the “Worlds Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” – for a record 16th year. The esteemed readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine (U.S. version) have once again awarded Crystal Cruises a top score of 92.7 – which is one of the highest in the history of the survey.

Read the full story about Crystal Cruises here Congratulations to Crystal Cruises - a well deserved award as their ships are simply wonderful! What strikes me about both Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity is the amount of space onboard - these are classed as Large Ships but they only carry 900 or so guests - so there is never that crowded feeling onboard - and the service is second to none. And the food - wow- delicious with plenty of choice and alternative dining too.

There are many bars, public rooms and entertainment areas - more than on the smaller upmarket ships, as Crystal have the space to accommodate these extra rooms. So why are Crystal not that well known in the UK? In my opinion they are the UK's best kept cruising secret - and with their All Inclusive As YOU Wish promotion - offer excellent value for money.
