Boutique Hotel with a Different View Every Day

I was invited onboard Crystal Symphony to see the results of her recent $15m redesign. Crystal’s largest ship in the fleet has the stylish elegance of a boutique hotel, with the added benefit of waking up somewhere new every day.

Crystal Cruises have Something for Everyone

The 19th-century gentleman’s club style piano bar with its leather sofa’s, velvet curtains and mahogany woods, make Avenue Saloon one of the ship’s most popular venues. Palm Court located at the top of the ship is perfect for afternoon tea, as well as breathtaking views from the top of the ship.

Crystal Cruises have the Fantasia and Waves programmes for children and teens. They are divided into age groups 3-7, 8-12 and 13-17.  A selection of activities offered onboard include, pool games, scavenger hunts, cookie baking, pizza making, fashion shows, karaoke, late night parties, teen discos and much more.  They are plenty of children’s books and board games in the library and Sony Playstation and Xbox 360.

Crystal Cruises offers a range of cuisine to suit all tastes. Tuck into beef, chicken or veggie burgers, tuna melts, wraps and pizzas, at the poolside Trident Bar and Grill. The ice-cream bar stocks a selection of Ben and Jerry’s, fresh cookies and non-fat frozen yoghurt.

For something more formal you have the Crystal Dining Room.  You can choose from one of their three menus of Modern, Classic or Lighter Fare.
