Crystal Cruises

A cruise is a wonderful way of de-stressing and relaxing. Even if you do not have any particular destination in mind, just being on board a ship is a rejuvenating experience. There is something about being on the sea that gives you a feeling of space and oneness with the Universe. Crystal Cruises is a luxury liner. It was founded in 1988.

Crystal cruises is owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha, a Japanese shipping company. Crystal ships have featured among the top 20 of the best cruise ships. Crystal Cruises has 2 liners: the Crystal Symphony, and the Crystal Serenity. Crystal Cruises sail to all the seven continents. Their main routes include Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Panama Canal, South America and Alaska/British Columbia. They also sail to Canada/New England region.

The Caribbean Thanksgiving Celebration is a round trip from Miami on the Crystal Serenity. The theme of the cruise is Jazz! This is a 7-day cruise. On the first day, you cruise the Atlantic Ocean. The second day, sees the Serenity docking at Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos. The third day is a Caribbean cruise to the Grand Cayman/ George Town, British West Indies. On the fourth day, the Serenity cruises on the Caribbean to Key West, Florida, and docks at Miami on the last day. The shore excursions that the cruise plans for the guests at the stopovers are fabulous. At the Grand Turks you will get some of the best snorkeling opportunities.

There is a fabulous network of coral reefs which is easily accessible. The Wall, which is a spectacular reef has a 7000 foot drop. Fabulous! Since the water is only waist deep, it is a good chance for beginner snorkelers. At the Grand Cayman, the unending beaches encircled by coral reefs are a singular place to relax. If you like shopping, you will find a wealth of local jewelry, china and silverware. There is the magnificent Seven Mile Beach which you will love to walk on. Being on these gorgeous beaches is enough to soothe and calm your mind. Key West was where Ernest Hemingway made his home. John James Audubon and President Truman too retired here.

Today writers and artists have made Key West their home. Strolling along the charming Duval Street and feeling the relaxed atmosphere will automatically take all the stress away. There are art galleries and boutiques that you could visit if you are so inclined. The theme being Jazz, you will be able to enjoy some of the finest Jazz music. Talented musicians play soft and soulful music to create a wonderful atmosphere. You never tire of Jazz, and this music offers the best background music for a relaxing time aboard. Crystal Cruises offer typical Japanese hospitality and the main features of its fine dining are the sushi bars, and large wine cellars. There are fun activities for everyone and if you just want to be by yourself to relax, there are various options for that as well in the skillfully decorated lounges.
