Crystal Extends Savings Promotions for 2011 World Cruise

Crystal Cruises has extended its added-value incentives for its 2011 World Cruise. With a new booking deadline of Sept. 30, the recently announced “Save Now, Save Later” promotion offers guests on Crystal’s 110-day World Cruise -- or any of its seven segments -- two-for-one fares and value-added bonuses, plus 20 percent savings on virtually any 2011 or 2012 cruise, even the 2012 World Cruise.

Along with the two-for-one fares, other savings opportunities include free air transportation on all segments; up to $10,000 per couple spending credits for the full World Cruise and up to $2,000 per couple for segments; up to $20,000 savings per couple for Crystal Society members or up to $8,000 savings per couple for new-to-Crystal guests; an additional 2.5 percent savings for guests paying in full 180 days out; and onboard booking savings for guests booking their next cruise on board.

Crystal Serenity’s “Grand Exotic Expedition” sails from Los Angeles to London Jan. 17, 2011, and visits 44 ports in 25 countries. The voyage also is available in seven segments. Ranging from 12 to 21 days, segments depart from Los Angeles, Papeete, Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Mumbai and Cape Town, each with at least one overnight port stay.

Guests booking any of the segments will save 20 percent on any 2011 or 2012 voyage (except December holiday cruises or 2011 World Cruise). The second 2011 or 2012 cruise must be booked by May 27, 2011. With two-for-one promotions, per-person, double-occupancy fares for World Cruise segments start at $6,500; full World Cruise fares start at $53,240, including free round-trip air transportation from numerous North American gateways.
