that surrounds you with the finest luxury the world has to offer, while presenting you a world of new experience in every port. Like all good stories, yours will begin with a blank page. It’s yours to fill. View Santorini by private yacht. Sip vintage wine at a 16th century estate. Savor the world’s best sushi while crossing the very ocean from which it was caught. The unexpected will happen. Capture it. Not simply to collect things. But to collect the kind of experiences that add to the narrative that is your life. Out here, there are as many beautiful stories as there are drops in the ocean.

As we sailed into Sydney Harbour, I was reflecting on new memories of exploring the South Pacific with its blue atolls and warm sand and friendly people. NewZealand had it all covered: a bit of charm with tea and crumpets in Wellington, and spectacular natural beauty from the grandeur of Milford Sound to the delicate fronds on the tree ferns the Kiwis call “punga.” What will Australia bring?Our headwaiterJonathan, in the Crystal Dining Room, has been to Australia many times and offered his suggestions. We’re looking forward to Kangaroos, Koalas, the scent of eucalyptus, and incredible seats for a performance at the Sydney Opera House. Not to be missed: scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. We’re also thinking of taking an excursion to explore the hazy blue forests and stunning waterfalls of the Blue Mountains, and Echo Point at Katoomba to see the Three Sisters. It’s been a cruise of a lifetime and one we’re sure to remember forever.

WE HAD TO CONFESS…

WE HAD FALLEN IN LOVE.

W I TH OUR STATEROOM. Between the stunning vistas on the horizon and the lavish luxuries within, it’s easy to fall in love with your home upon the sea. Aboard the world’s two most celebrated ships, staterooms and suites are contemporary sanctuaries of stylized design and modern comfort. Sumptuous beds are piled high with plush duvets, the finest linens and pillows of your choice. Flat-panel TVs with Blu-ray players, wireless Internet service and hightech automation, a well-stocked bar and an array of decadent amenities create an air of posh exclusivity. The experience is elevated by the genuinely hospitable attentions of your stateroom stewardess or Penthouse butler who may quietly share their favorite secret for a particular port of call as you enjoy breakfast al fresco. Here amidst the spoils of privilege, each new day presents a world of possibilities…

here is where your story begins.

On our second Crystal voyage, our inside joke was that we had fallen in love all over againâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was with our stateroom. /mpossible to resist the Frette robes, soft kimonos, our private verandah and how spoiled we had become. crystalcruises.com | 17

HOW WILL WE MAK E DO WITH

Mornings of yoga and mat Pilates, a game of paddle tennis or a rejuvenating massage at the only Feng Shuiinspired spa at sea. Afternoons cultivating new interests at the interactive Creative Learning Institute, mastering your technology and social media skills at the Computer University@Sea, or sampling rare wines at a Vintage Room tastingâ&#x20AC;Ś

In Monte Carlo, we walked up to where the royal palace sits. The place was magical. At the pool back on board Crystal Serenity, we imagined Grace Kelly becoming a princess or perhaps enjoying a Crystal cruise - an experience certainly fit for a king or queen!

Days at sea allow you to pursue your passions with guilt-free abandon. Reading a book by the pool, practicing your hand at painting, or perfecting your golf game on TaylorMadeÂŽ clubs at a PGA-hosted clinic. Informative destination lectures led by noted historians and travel experts add intriguing insight and depth to your experiences ashore. So whether spoiling yourself on board or exploring ashoreâ&#x20AC;Ś

tell a tale of happy moments and days filled with laughter.

Chef Nobu

After a day exploring Buenos Aires, we looked forward to the evenings’ culinary delights we could expect to find. With all the dining venues so tempting each night, we were happy to have such difficult choices in front of us: the Modern Cuisine menu vs. the classic fare in the Crystal Dining Room., sushi in Silk Road, or Italian delicacies in Prego? Or, maybe it’s a more casual evening al fresco at Tastes? 26 | crystalcruises.com

IS IT POSSIBLE TO

HAVE TOO MUCH FUN

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT? With a refined elegance and electrifying glow, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity shimmer each evening with a variety of entertaining options. Our Los Angeles-based headquarters keeps us on the leading edge of what’s happening in entertainment with breakout high-tech shows like The Tourist and Imagine by America’s Got Talent finalist iLuminate. Also new is our original 6/8 Café: A Jukebox Musical featuring an energetic and nostalgic mash-up of ’60s and ’80s favorites as well as the hugely popular concert productions, My Life: the Music of Billy Joel, and Rocket Man fronted by the only Elton John World-endorsed tribute artist. Throughout both ships, sophisticated diversions appeal to every interest and evening schedule, from pre-dinner dancing and cocktail parties to late nights of Vegas-style gaming in the Crystal Casino, pulsating nightlife in dance clubs, and camaraderie and conversation at the Avenue Saloon piano bar. With a complimentary pour of select fine wines, champagne and premium spirits, the night is yours to design completely as you wish…

it’s an exciting page-turner filled with fun and entertainment.

Our third voyage. Our second honeymoon. Our first dance lessons together. And, photos of us dancing the night away after a great dinner and exciting show only begin to tell our memorable story.

GRAND PACIFIC EXPLORER

7 UNIQUE VOYAGES (7201-7207), 11 TO 21 DAYS IN LENGTH

99 DAYS | MELBOURNE TO TOKYO A grand cruise indeed! Imagine a 99-day adventure cruising from the land Down Under to the Land of the Rising Sun; an intriguing journey that follows the western edge of the mighty Pacific Ocean to explore the world’s most exotic ports of call. This in-depth odyssey encompasses continents, islands and natural wonders— all enjoyed from the luxurious surroundings of Crystal Symphony. The opportunity for discovery is exceptional with multiple overnight stays in world-renowned cities, and maiden calls at little-explored outposts throughout the South Pacific.

Offered in seven unique segments featuring extended port stays and several overnights, each shines a spotlight on treasured destinations. Choose a single itinerary or combine the voyages that interest you most; either way, you’re assured incredible oncein-a-lifetime adventures, a mix of stunning nature and ancient mystery—the fjords of Kiwi Land and the tribal cultures of Papua New Guinea. The natural wonders of Australia and the temples of Indonesia. The buddhas of Thailand and Vietnam. Enjoy an inclusive, complimentary 3-day overland journey to Beijing to visit the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and more. Venture on to explore the gardens and shrines of Japan.

Combining Down Under with Far East is our idea of an amazing adventure. We can’t wait to experience this part of the world aboard the World’s Best.
