With the cruise industry flooded with numerous cruise ship companies that vie for your attention, it’s difficult to know which cruise line to choose for your next vacation. 

 One cruise company does stand out, however, if you’re searching for a luxury cruise experience.  That cruise line is Crystal Cruises.  Here’s why it stands out among the crowd.
Small fleet
With some of the bigger cruise companies having a fleet of over 50 vessels it’s hard to pay attention to all of the important details.  With Crystal Cruises, there are only three ships, which means that paying attention to the “details” is par for the course.  These three vessels are considered medium-sized, as passenger capacity ranges from 940 to almost 1100.  That makes for a fairly intimate setting, as opposed to the larger vessels that can hold more than 2,000 passengers.  

Departure Points
Crystal Cruises conveniently depart from both the West and East Coasts, with the majority of ships departing from such key locations as Los Angeles, New York, and Florida.  

Destinations
Crystal Cruises offers a wide range of destinations such as Alaska, the New England coastline, Panama Canal, the Caribbean, and the Mexican Riviera.  Since these cruises cater to the more upscale clientele, cruises tend to be a bit longer than the average, seven-day cruise.  Usually, Crystal cruises last anywhere from one to two weeks in length.  

Cabins
Unlike most cruise ships, Crystal Cruises only have outside cabins.  That means that no matter when you book your reservation, you’ll always have an ocean view.  Cabins are appointed with the finest amenities that you would expect on a luxury cruise line.  Service is not spared for the penthouse cabins, as each cabin includes its own private staff member.  

Dining
Not only do the cabin options offer excellence, but also the dining options.  Whereas most other cruise ships offer the traditional American style restaurant or Bistro, Crystal Cruises offers both an Italian and Asian restaurant, at no extra cost.  Enjoy the amazing sushi bar or other Asian and Italian delights.  

Fitness plus more
After you enjoy all the fine food on board a Crystal Cruise, you’ll be ready for a workout.  Crystal Cruises does not skimp in this department either.  You’ll find top fitness centers with the latest in treadmill and weight equipment, and afterwards, you can pamper yourself with a relaxing spa and massage.
