Last July, I stood on the deck of the reborn Crystal Serenity as she sailed out of Venice. And though we were setting off on a long-awaited voyage, what struck me was the powerful sense that I had come home. Since the first time I stepped aboard our ships in the Trieste dockyard in 2022, when Crystal became part of the Abercrombie & Kent family, I have learned that it is this familial sense of home that keeps guests sailing with us again and again. It’s the same feeling that saw more than 80% of our loyal team return to work at Crystal, and moved so many of them to tears that day as they welcomed me and our Executive Chairman Mr. Lefebvre aboard. Our ships, now finer than ever after a multimillion-dollar upgrade, have once again become the home away from home to all our Crystal family of beloved guests and staff. Our crew and officers are the beating heart of our ships and it is thanks to their passion, care, warmth, and attention to detail that the soul of Crystal is stronger than ever. I could not be prouder to be setting sail on this next chapter, together.

CRYSTAL: A NEW CHAPTER

I

t’s been quite the sea change at Crystal. After running into stormy weather when its Hong Kong-based parent company suffered serious financial difficulties, the fabled cruise line has returned to calmer waters under new owners A&K Travel Group. And they’re promising to redefine high-end cruising, making it better than ever before. They have plenty of heritage to build upon. Over the course of more than three decades, Crystal set the standard for exemplary service at sea, with superb food and top-quality entertainment, making passengers feel they had journeyed back to the golden age of travel. While offering voyages into yesteryear, it wasn’t afraid of innovation – the cruise line started arguably the first onboard chef collaboration, with Michelinstarred Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa’s only restaurant on the waves, as well as introducing on-deck pickleball and paddle tennis courts long before they became fashionable. It was a heady blend. No wonder guests – myself included – couldn’t get enough of this remarkable cruise line, with 60% returning time after time to experience life aboard its two ocean-going ships. So when new owners came on board it was only natural to question to what degree they would honor Crystal’s hallowed past. Thankfully, Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) knows a thing or two about heritage. Formed more than 60 years ago by Geoffrey Kent and his parents on the plains of Africa, it has earned a reputation over the years for offering some of the best land-based travel experiences around the world. What’s more, its Executive Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, from the Italian shipping dynasty that founded Silversea, has cruising running through his veins. When he took a majority stake in A&K Travel Group in 2019 after selling Silversea to Royal Caribbean Group it was only ever going to be a matter of time before a cruise company was added to the portfolio. “I woke up in the morning and had no ships and said, ‘This is not possible,’” he recalled. Having long admired Crystal, he offered to buy it twice – and was twice rebutted. It was only when the previous owners suffered financial woes that A&K Travel Group was able to acquire the brand name as well as its ocean-going ships, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, in 2022. The aim was simple but brilliant – to deliver excellence on both land and sea, capitalizing on the many synergies between the companies. As CEO Cristina Levis, who had worked with Lefebvre at Silversea, said: “We have two legends: the legend of the cruise industry and a legend and pioneer of land and expedition experiences. You can only imagine what the two of them can do together.” But time was of the essence, with just a year to make it happen, and all the associated administration of building a new reservation system and website. What’s more, before returning to service, both ships needed a makeover, which in parts turned out to be less of a tweakment, more full-scale surgery. Recognizing that the “market wants two notches above what it wanted before,” Lefebvre decided that the answer was to make Crystal even more exclusive, and that one of the ways to achieve this was by creating more space.

CRYSTAL: A NEW CHAPTER

Crystal Serenity had already had its capacity of 1,050 cut to 980 in a 2017 refit, but the plan was to reduce numbers even more, to 740, while sister ship Crystal Symphony would go from 908 passengers to 606. To do this, some decks were cut back to steel, with rebuilding rather than refurbishing to carve out more spacious cabins. Meanwhile, just to make life a little more interesting, as all this was going on, A&K Travel Group was simultaneously working on plans to launch four new ships before 2029. “Nothing like this has ever been done before in the industry,” said Levis. “But here we are. We made it, and we made it on time.” They certainly did, but did they respect Crystal’s DNA with the new version of such an iconic brand? When I stepped on board Crystal Serenity with my son, who had twice sailed with me on the cruise line before, that was the important question on everyone’s lips. A&K Travel Group had made a bold promise to maintain the qualities for which Crystal was known while simultaneously enhancing the offering. Had they kept that promise? I can’t think of a better answer than that given by Captain Birger Vorland, who had worked with Crystal for 20 years and concluded that it felt “the same as before – only better.” Everything felt wonderfully familiar. Here were the pool deck, restaurants and public spaces all looking beautifully spruced up yet fundamentally unchanged, along with the amazing architectural area of the Palm Court, surely the most elegant place at sea for a cream tea. We instantly felt at home. That feeling doesn’t just come from familiarity. It is also thanks to the amazing crew, an incredible 83% of whom returned to work for Crystal. Wherever you go on board, their story is the same, from Mauro, the Peruvian waiter, and Camilla the Brazilian bar worker to our butler, Igor, who supplied a steady stream of canapés and whisked away my son’s shirts to iron. They might have found other jobs or joined other cruise companies in the interim, but they couldn’t wait to return to Crystal. Ask any of them why and the answer is pretty much the same: “Crystal is family.” They make you feel a part of that family, these smiling ambassadors of Crystal, serving from their hearts. And they inject soul into the vast amounts of onboard space. Bear in mind that Symphony and Serenity now have 30% fewer passengers than when they were built, sharing the same range of original facilities. The sensation of space starts in your cabin, particularly if you’re lucky enough to be in one of the new Sapphire Veranda suites. The equivalent of two existing cabins knocked into one, they feature a separate lounge/dining area as well as a dressing room and large balcony. With its twin sinks and enormous walk-in shower, the capacious bathroom is better than you will find in many five-star hotels. Everything feels cool and contemporary, the neutral stone and cream colors complemented by splashes of blue. The specialty restaurants, too, sport a more modern look. It’s with relief that I can report that Nobu’s Umi Uma is still on board, the chef’s ever-delicious Peruvian/Japanese fusion food now served amid a lighter, more appealing backdrop. Just

KEITH COX Vice President of Entertainment

What do you think makes Crystal’s entertainment stand out?

The variety and the quality. As well as our bighitting shows in the Galaxy Lounge, we have many smaller shows in the secondary lounges. We offer so many different genres; there is something for everyone.

What can guests do in the daytime?

One could learn how to put phone videos to music at our Creative Media Fundamentals class, take a dance lesson, or watch a movie in the Hollywood cinema. We offer everything from art classes to PGA golf instructors.

Who gives your onboard lectures?

Our lecturers include Broadway producer Kevin McCollum (Rent, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Devil Wears Prada), astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, and sports photographer Neil Leifer, renowned for his pictures of Muhammad Ali.

What plans do you have for the future?

My goal is to enhance the popular White Dress Party. We will be constantly creating new offerings and introducing new shows.

Which is your favorite part of the ship?

I love watching the shows from back of house, seeing how engaged the audience is and experiencing the standing ovations.

CRYSTAL: A NEW CHAPTER

PAULA HANNIGAN Executive Pastry Chef, Crystal Symphony

What does your job involve?

There are eight of us in the pastry team on Crystal Symphony. We produce all the desserts; I oversee them in all food outlets.

What do you love most about it?

I’ve always had a passion for pastry. I love to see how happy it makes people when they enjoy my desserts.

Which are your most popular desserts?

Anything with chocolate. Our guests also love our Crystal classics – Portuguese custard tarts in the Bistro, banana foster bread pudding in Tastes, and German chocolate cake in the dining room.

How important is food to Crystal’s guests?

Very important. Our guests are used to a high-quality food offering on board both Crystal ships, and I believe it is one of the reasons they return.

Is it more difficult to prepare food on a ship than it is in a restaurant?

It’s a whole different challenge to kitchens on land, but I love it. For example, the more the ship moves the less accurate our weighing scales are.

next door is the Italian specialty restaurant that has been renamed Osteria d’Ovidio after the chairman. Its food is better than ever following a tie-up with Michelin-starred chef Stefano Di Gennaro, who concentrates on regional produce in his carefully crafted dishes. The cruise line’s famous, and much-loved, mushroom soup is no longer on the menu, but you can find it in Waterside, which has also upped its game with a daily changing fine-dining menu that focuses on locally sourced produce. While you can still enjoy a formal night here, the onboard vibe is increasingly relaxed, epitomized in the new-look café for all-day dining, a favorite among computertapping passengers. With the help of a former Soho House brand maestro, Crystal is clearly aiming to broaden its appeal, with state-of-the-art equipment in the gym, a range of wellbeing classes, and gin tastings in the atmospheric saloon lounge. Not that returning passengers are forgotten, with the ever-popular gentlemen dance escorts ready to whisk ladies onto the dance floor, traditional afternoon tea served in Palm Court, and the Computer University@Sea on hand to teach tech. A variety of new enrichment experiences for all ages, such as arts and crafts, will be offered in the new Lounge space. And Broadway-worthy shows continue to form part of a comprehensive entertainment offering that in my opinion sets Crystal head and shoulders above its competitors. Guests have the opportunity to see two shows every evening, including world-class tribute acts, live music performances and stand-up comedy. Just as there was when my mother, my son and I took a multi-generational cruise a decade ago, there is something for everyone here, from the kids’ club to the spa. And what a spa it is. Named after Aurōra, the goddess of dawn, it has a slick new look with plenty of light. A spell in the sauna is even more appealing when you can sit in it and watch the waves outside. Life on board is clearly still special, but it’s off the ship that it will be truly unique, with the help of Abercrombie & Kent’s bulging portfolio of exceptional experiences and onthe-ground network of experts and guides. You can expect exclusive access to aristocratic homes, castles and palaces alongside as many unforgettable adventures as you care for among the shore excursions. Better still, you can combine a cruise with everything from a safari to a villa stay as part of a pre- or post-cruise tour. On a World Cruise or Grand Journey, there are options to spend much more time getting under the skin of each destination, ticking off bucket-list sites as well as taking personalized tours depending on what you want to see. In Peru with a few days to spare? Maybe it’s time to visit Machu Picchu. Been there and want something different? Then see the Nazca lines, explore the jungle or check out the coast. And the real beauty of it all is that everything will be seamless, from the moment you start planning to the time when you return.


CRYSTAL: A NEW CHAPTER

None of this, of course, would mean a thing without the crew. Crystal’s people are the vital ingredient in its recipe for success. As Brand Ambassador Fernando Barroso de Oliveira, expresses it, “The ships are magnificent, accommodation fabulous, and we probably have the largest amount of space per guest in the industry. But it’s the crew that creates the soul of the ship.” Bernie Leypold, Crystal’s Senior Vice President, Global Hotel Operations, strikes a similar note. Asked what makes Crystal truly special, he replies: “It starts with the crew. For them it’s not just a job. It never has been a job. It’s a passion. We hire our crew to be part of a family; we hire them for their attitude, for their approach to service, and then we train them on board.” Crystal’s crew-to-guest ratio, Leypold adds, is one of the best in the industry, with almost one crew member for each guest, which means they can really concentrate on providing the highest levels of warm, anticipatory service. “For the guests,” he says, “it feels like coming home – because even if you have not been on board for three years, you will have crew members remembering your name, what you would like to drink, what we should put in the mini-bar, what your preference of pillow is. In essence, this is what we mean by Exceptional at Sea.” Former Travel Editor of The Times JANE KNIGHT now shares her expert knowledge of luxury travel for a variety of titles, from Condé Nast Traveler to The Telegraph.

CRYSTAL THROUGH THE EYES OF…

ZH

Do you still use a large-format film camera, or do you prefer digital media?

MP

I used a large-format film camera (5” x 4” negatives)

for more than 20 years but made the switch to digital in 2013. I managed to find a digital version of my technical camera, with the same movements I was used to. It meant that I was able to make the same kind of pictures digitally as I used to make on film. This was important to me because I had developed a way of looking, and of making pictures, that I didn’t want to lose. All photographers are in search of their individual voice, something that – if you find it – makes your photographs instantly recognizable. I like to think that after all these years, I have managed to find my own voice. ZH

What’s your next big project?

MP

I’m currently putting together a book that uses

pictures from the many, many different industrial/manufacturing sites I’ve had the pleasure to photograph over the years. I’ve ZH

Can you tell us a little about your working process?

MP

I don’t take thousands of pictures. It’s very much about

having a relationship with the subject while I’m standing in front of it, freezing a moment in time which is never going to be the same again. It’s a kind of memento mori, I suppose. ZH

People think of shipyards as stark, gritty places. How did you approach finding beauty in this environment?

MP

It’s an old adage, but there’s beauty to be found

everywhere. You only have to look. Over the past 25 years, I’ve done a lot of work in construction sites, including shipyards, and I don’t find them stark or gritty at all. I love the contrast between enormous industrial spaces and intimate, tiny corners – between big objects and small ones. I also enjoy the accidental sculptures that are created by the workers, made without any artistic intent but which are often astonishingly beautiful. A good example of this would be the blue canvas that I found tossed over the ship’s propeller, which couldn’t have been done more aesthetically if they’d tried. And the point is, they hadn’t tried at all… it was only there to perform a function. ZH

Photography is a powerful medium for storytelling. What stories or messages do you hope Metamorphosis conveys to your audience?

MP

I’ve never seen myself as a “storyteller.” I’m more

interested in making individual pictures that contain many layers of detail and information to suggest a number of issues. I try to imagine myself as an alien, looking at the pictures for the first

mixed them up, and there are no captions, so we’re never sure where we are or what we’re looking at. I’m trying to make the point that it’s possible to make powerful, beautiful, eloquent, and deeply personal work within the corporate sector. I want it to be a celebration of the possibilities to make good work when trust exists between the company and myself. Crystal gave me complete freedom to photograph whatever I wanted on board their ships. I was never told what to do, and I was very grateful for that. ZH

Were you surprised to be invited to photograph

MP

I was really pleased that I was being encouraged

a ship mid-restoration? to photograph this process. Normally all you would see is the finished article, in all its glory. But it was recognized that there’s a real beauty in this act of change. There’s a strange beauty to these images, a kind of splendor to them that harks back, perhaps, to the way travel used to be. A limited edition of Mark Power’s images of Crystal Symphony are available to buy from Magnum Photos, priced at £3,000 for a 20" x 26.5" image on 24" × 30.5" paper (edition of eight, plus two artist’s proofs), and £5,000 for a 32" x 42.5" image on 40" × 50.5" paper (edition of four, plus two artist’s proofs). Prints are offered as archival pigment prints, signed by the artist on the verso. Please contact londongallery@magnumphotos.com for more information.

time and finding interest in everything equally. In other words, everything within the image is of equal importance, and I’m not telling the viewer exactly what to look at. ZH

How did you attempt to capture the scale of Crystal Symphony?

MP

You’re very aware of the size of ships when you stand

close to them because you rarely see a ship like this out of water. They are enormous; everything is on a gargantuan scale. Sometimes – often – a photograph struggles to convey scale accurately. So where possible, in Trieste, I used people to give a sense of scale.

CRYSTAL + ABERCROMBIE & KENT

E

xplorers have always been great storytellers – with tales of exotic lands, curious encounters, and incredible experiences brought home like souvenirs. In recent years, travelers have told their tales on social media. Our feeds are filled with the impressive adventures of friends and influencers, fueling our appetite for increasingly immersive, offbeat, daring ways to experience the essence of a destination. For many, it is enough to simply stand and stare at the pyramids; but some of us have a desire to delve deeper, to duck through narrow passageways in search of ancient treasures, accompanied by an Egyptologist who will translate the stories painted within. Why walk through the rainforest when you can zipline through the tree canopy, surrounded by the rainbow-flash of hummingbirds? Unique experiences have become the ultimate luxury and the most precious social currency of travel. Which is why, when Crystal joined A&K Travel Group in June 2022, it was a game-changer for the cruise company’s shore excursions. Crystal has always been a leader at sea; but now, with A&K’s longstanding expertise and global network of people all passionate about travel – polar explorers and wildlife experts, society fixers and the best local guides all over the world – Crystal will be able to deliver the kind of next-level shore experiences other cruise lines cannot match. “What we are bringing to Crystal is the accumulation of six decades of creating unique travel experiences, through an in-depth knowledge of each of the destinations, and the connections that our people have,” says Fernando Delgado, Chief Product Officer at Abercrombie & Kent, who is helming the operation to elevate Crystal’s shore excursions to the next level. “It is through those connections that we can get access to places that other travelers cannot go.” With Crystal now part of the A&K family, guests will have the flexibility to craft a bespoke journey that encompasses more than just a cruise. Cruise itineraries can be topped and tailed with Pre- and Post-Cruise Extensions, seamlessly curated by one global team at every stage of the journey – whether that’s spending a few more nights in the departure port town, or something more adventurous. “Let’s say you are taking a cruise from Mombasa to Dubai; that is a perfect opportunity to take a pre-cruise safari at our Olonana camp in Kenya, or Gorilla Forest Camp in Uganda,” says Delgado. It will even be possible for guests to insert a bespoke overland interlude into their cruise, flying off for a private adventure before rejoining their ship later. “On a cruise along the coast of South America, for example, from Manta in Ecuador we could charter one of our Ecoventura yachts for 20 guests, and give them a week in the Galápagos while the ship continues to sail down to Lima.” As part of the project, Delgado’s team and A&K’s global network of local guides are devising a revolutionary series of out-of-this-world Unique Experiences and Overland Adventures, finding innovative ways to engage guests in the essence of a destination while presenting it in a new light.

“What I want is to move away from what everybody is doing, over and over again,” Delgado says. “More exclusivity, more uniqueness, more authenticity.” “We really want to surprise the guests, give them the kind of experiences you wouldn’t be able to find in a guidebook,” says Stefanie Schmudde, Abercrombie & Kent’s Senior Vice President of Global Product Strategy, who is working with Delgado on the project. “We want them to turn a corner and say ‘Wow! I was not expecting that!’” A&K’s team have been brainstorming ways of layering elements of the native culture – whether it’s an unusual mode of transport, local cuisine or music – so that experiences become diverse and multi-sensorial. The sky really is the limit. “I love the idea of taking a chartered helicopter ride to a destination a few hours away, and getting our guests into a completely new setting,” Schmudde says. “Or arriving in Italy and having a row of luxury cars like Ferraris to drive off to an activity – perhaps a cookery class, or a farm-to-table culinary experience in an incredible setting; or high-adrenalin activities such as flying a fighter jet. There is no limit to what we can do.” The result is Crystal’s portfolio of Unique Experiences and Overland Adventures by Abercrombie & Kent, which launches in 2024 in countries ranging from Australia to Argentina. Each is a one-off, with group size strictly limited to a maximum of 18 Crystal guests, on a first-come, first-served basis. “We want to get back to the pioneer mindset that Abercrombie & Kent had at the very beginning, when Geoffrey Kent had the vision of doing safaris in a completely different way,” Delgado says. “Central to everything was the experience of the guest.” Visit our website to discover more about Crystal’s portfolio of Unique Experiences and Overland Adventures by Abercrombie & Kent.

“The true peace of God,” Joseph Conrad wrote, “begins at any spot a thousand miles from the nearest land.” Conrad knew the oceans, their rages and their might, but when you talk to master mariners it is the wonder and the balm of the seas that moves them, not the storms. I went around the world on freighters, with the captains and crews of container ships. My first captain was like a Danish bear, grizzled with bulk and taciturnity. Great seas and hard-working ships make and reward strong, unsentimental people, and Captain Larsen was such a man. He expressed his orders curtly and his kindness gruffly, and taking our ship across the Atlantic, across the Mediterranean, through Suez and the Indian Ocean, through the Malacca Straits, across the South China Sea and across the Pacific kept him very busy. But in the midst of a lifetime of voyages he was still as delighted as I was by the universe that is the sea. We came across whales several times; to encounter those great citizens of the blue world is to understand how truly rich and strange our planet is. “I want to get that whale and take him home to my wife!” the captain said. I knew what he

Words HORATIO CLARE


meant, but we settled for photographs. The flying fish, the skidding shearwaters and the voyaging terns, the sweet quiet of the fo’c’sle, where you cannot hear the engine, only the hiss off the bow cutting on through the water, as if forever, through all the moods and colors of the sea, moved him as they did me. There are moments on a voyage when you experience the quiet harmony of transcendence. It comes from the ocean’s gift of proportion; its scale returns you to your true size. Only love matters then, and you do not have or need words for your feelings at that moment, as you gaze upon the sea. One evening on the Pacific the captain said, “When you get home you will tell them where you have been, and they will imagine sunsets and sunrises, but they will never understand, however much you tell them, how vast the oceans are.” It was as if the sea itself had spoken! But you will know what he meant. The great secret of the ocean is out there, and it is much, much bigger than any landed life can see. HORATIO CLARE is the award-winning author of “Down To The Sea In Ships: Of Ageless Oceans and Modern Men,” and other books.

AFRICA AND ASIA

The Spice Routes have connected the East and the West since ancient times. Ships sailed these trade routes from Indonesia to the Mediterranean, via India and Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula and Africa’s spice islands, threading together destinations through flavor and fragrance. The souks of Dubai and Muscat and Old Jeddah are perfumed with frankincense and rose petals; while in India and Sri Lanka, tamarind and cardamom scent the air, and trails lead through vivid seas of green to hilltop tea plantations. In the streets of George Town, capital of Malaysia’s Penang Island, the heady scent of jasmine mingles with aromas from food stalls where sizzling seafood is wrapped in banana leaves. The markets of Mombasa are heaped with cinnamon and grains of paradise; while the Indonesia island of Sabang is a picture-book paradise, where monkeys play in the palm trees leaning out over white-sand beaches. These are destinations intertwined not just by sea routes but by myths and storytelling, each ripe for exploring. CRYSTALCRU ISES .COM | 1 - 8 66 -945 -3594

“ To the lover of pure wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world,” wrote the 19th-century conservationist and author John Muir, who has a mountain and glacier named after him. It’s a wilderness that can only really be explored by sea or air. There are towns, of course, like the charismatic capital of Juneau, where the Red Dog Saloon displays the pistol left behind by Wyatt Earp, and Skagway, with its Gold Rush ghosts and vintage railway. But these are mainly stepping stones to the great outdoors and its amazing wildlife. From watching brown bears foraging to mushing huskies through the snow; from exploring hiking trails to kayaking down crystal-clear rivers; from whale-spotting to marveling at the awesome sight of Hubbard Glacier – be sure to pack a spirit of adventure.

The sails of Viking longships once rode the wind here. These are coastal lands that relied on the ocean to survive, woven together by ancient sea-faring routes, pure landscapes of rugged beauty and natural poetry. On the pine-covered island of Gotland, you’ll find the beautiful walled city of Visby, its black-towered cathedral appearing like a chess piece amid the red roofs. In Iceland, discover a vast wilderness dotted with natural wonders such as the Goðafoss Waterfall, steeped in local folklore. The ebb and flow of maritime history can be felt from Stornoway to Helsinki, from Gdansk to Rouen, but these are also places with vibrant contemporary lives. Copenhagen’s restaurant scene is world-class, with pioneering chefs foraging for ingredients to reinvent Scandinavian cuisine; Amsterdam’s modern art museums help portray the city beyond Van Gogh; while in Stockholm, history and tradition blend seamlessly with cutting-edge design and creative innovation.

NEW YORK

CANADA, NEW ENGLAND, AND THE PACIFIC COAST

Cruising around North America offers a host of iconic moments, whether it’s sailing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, or into New York harbor, past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. But there are lesser-known, more intimate highlights, too. A few miles north-east of Québec are Montmorency Falls, which crash in a cloud of spray into the St. Lawrence River. These dramatic drops are nearly 100 feet higher than those of their famous Niagara rival and best experienced during fall’s leafspotting season when the landscape smolders in firework reds and yellows. Boston provides a bugle call of American Revolution history and old-town storytelling, particularly on cobbled, redbrick Beacon Hill, while Fort Lauderdale’s coastal scene unfolds in a parade of striped beach umbrellas and waterfront dining, with superyachts moored off Millionaire’s Row. And from Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta, you can skip across to empty sands and islands, swimming in sun-warmed water before returning for tacos and tequila. From Southern California to the whale-patrolled Canadian East, North America is an extraordinary destination to see from the sea. CRYSTALCRU ISES .COM | 1 - 8 66 -945 -3594

Down by the beach, piña coladas are poured and boats launched, while hummingbirds flicker in the trees. Antigua possesses that classic sun-woven Caribbean tapestry of turquoise seas, azure skies, and white sand, yet it’s quite unlike any other Caribbean island. Each has a character of its own and a cruise enables you to hop between several to discover your favorite. Glamorous Barbados has restaurants and botanical gardens; tiny Bequia, ridged by green hills, is laid-back; St Lucia has natural wonders, with its cocoa forests and the twin peaks of the Pitons. The South American mainland is every bit as bright. In the historic neighborhoods of Cartagena, Colombia, bougainvillea winds around the balconies of brightly-painted houses and artisans sell rainbow-woven textiles; Chile’s Valparaiso is a mash-up of colour; and Lima, in Peru, packs a punch with its vibrant street food.

Standing by the lighthouse on the western cape of Ishigaki, looking out to sea, feels like being on the edge of the world – just an unbroken horizon and waves lapping white sand. Ishigaki is part of the Okinawa archipelago, often described as Japan’s Hawaii. Here, there are secret coves and tree-covered mountains to explore, coral reefs to snorkel, noodles and dragon-fruit ice cream to savor afterwards. Traveling around Asia by ship is a way of connecting the dots between the region’s disparate landscapes and fascinating off-radar destinations. There are cities to experience, such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore, each a fascinating blend of contemporary culture and ageold traditions, with parks where qigong masters maneuver on the grass overlooked by high-rise towers that hold Michelin-starred restaurants. And there are myriad natural wonders – like Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay, with its limestone karsts rising like dragon spines out of the water – that demand to be experienced at least once in a lifetime.

WESTERN EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN

The sunset over the Greek island of Santorini is said to be one of the loveliest in the world, a golden crescendo of shimmering colors reflected by the sea and dramatically contrasted by the whitewashed village houses clinging to the hillsides. It’s just one possible moment of magic on a cruise around the Mediterranean and Europe, but there are many others, whether it’s the people-watching street theatre of Naples, with Vesuvius rising in the background, the medieval thrill of Dubrovnik, for getting lost amid the Old Town streets, or the beach clubs of Ibiza, for cabana cocktails to a Balearic soundtrack. Our cruises traverse the waves from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, from the vineyards of Bordeaux to the souks of Istanbul, from the medinas of Casablanca to the Riviera romance of Monte Carlo. Fresh herbs and lemons scent the air, and the cuisine – from the kitchens of Lisbon, Barcelona, or Florence – is sublime. And when it comes to more sunsets, see how the ones over the Acropolis, the Amalfi Coast, and the dome of St. Mark’s in Venice compare. CRYSTALCRU ISES .COM | 1 - 8 66 -945 -3594
