Crystal Cruises Announces Changes To River Cruise Itineraries

Crystal Cruises recently sent the following letter to travel agents concerning their river cruise itineraries and we wanted to share it with you.

During this time in Crystal’s exciting and unprecedented growth to becoming The World’s Most Luxurious Hospitality & Lifestyle Brand Portfolio, please be advised of the following change to Crystal River Cruises.

As you know, Crystal Debussy and Crystal Ravel were originally designed to sail on the Seine River from Paris to Normandy beginning June 2017 and the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers from Bordeaux from August 2017, respectively. However, based on overwhelmingly positive guest feedback regarding Central Europe itineraries in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Amsterdam, we have elected to delay our entry into the French river cruise market, choosing instead to prioritize our offerings in the German/Austrian region in order to meet high traveler demand for those destination experiences.

Therefore, to best serve our guests and accommodate new itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, we are modifying and enlarging these luxury river yachts. Please note, new service-entry dates are April (Crystal Debussy) and May (Crystal Ravel) in 2018.

On behalf of everyone at Crystal, we thank you for your understanding and look forward to exploring the Old World with you, in brand-new luxury!
