Luxury Line Offers Up to 50% Off 13 Sailings

LOS ANGELES, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury cruise specialist Crystal Cruises has announced its 2006 Value Collection sailings, allowing savvy travelers the opportunity to plan ahead and realize extraordinary savings of up to 50% off regular cruise fares aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. New in 2006, Crystal Society benefits (repeat guest savings and rewards) and onboard bookings discounts are combinable with Value Collection sailings.

Crystal's Value Collection features sailings of seven to 16 days on 13 diverse and exciting itineraries, including South America, Panama Canal, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Trans-Atlantic crossings.

"The Value Collection provides a strong incentive to those who have never sampled Crystal Cruises, and even Crystal's veteran cruisers tend to add Value Collection sailings to their vacation plans because these values are so hard to pass up," says Bill Smith, Crystal's senior vice president of sales and marketing.

Offered on select cruises from April through December, Value Collection sailings provide seasoned and first-time cruisers a chance to experience the award-winning hospitality and luxury of Crystal with up to two-for-one savings. With fares starting at less than $200 per person per day, the Value Collection includes itineraries such as a nine-day Miami to Lisbon Trans-Atlantic crossing, an 11-day Athens to Monte Carlo sailing, a 15-day Panama Canal voyage from Tampa to Los Angeles, and a 16-day South American cruise from Buenos Aires to Miami.
