An unwavering standard of excellence by professionals who share your passion for world discovery. The essence of Crystal Cruises lies in its people. Be it your first voyage with us, or one of many returns, you immediately feel a sense of belonging, a sense of place. This is your home upon the sea. It's the champagne chilled to perfection. The caviar served with hand-carved mother-of-pearl and delicately buttered blinis. It's the unspoken desire to make your every wish come true. Two sugars with your espresso, light cream on the side.
With discreet attentiveness, your every wish is anticipated, your special preferences remembered. With her sleek silhouette and shimmering elegance, the legendary Crystal Symphony finds a natural home in the world's most glamorous harbors and idyllic ports of call.

This option can be selected at the time of booking. Once your cruise is fully paid, you may then reserve your personal dining times at our Priority Check-in & Planning Center (PCPC).
