LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, Crystal Cruises is taking guests backstage, behind the velvet ropes, under the hard hat, and into the luxury kitchens, homes, and cars of local European experts with six new "Boutique Adventures"—extremely limited-availability shore-side excursions not offered by any other cruise line. The program expansion will allow travelers to forge deeper, personal connections with local cultures and destinations in the UK, Spain, Italy, and Sweden. In all, guests can choose from 15 different "Boutique Adventures" during Crystal's 2014 luxury European cruise season.
New excursions include:
"Since launching last year, our guests have loved the intimate and exclusive access Boutique Adventures offer, and asked for more," says John Stoll, vice president of land programs. "These excursions go beyond a traditional tourist experience and allow for deeper understanding of people and places that can only be gleaned from the perspectives of local, expert insiders. The Boutique Adventures add tremendous variety to our collection of shore experiences, affording guests diverse choices for a wide range of interests."
Other 2014 European "Boutique" experiences include private artist sessions in Corfu and Lisbon, opera in Lucca, private mass at Barcelona's Sagrada Família, a Michelin Star-level cooking class in Sorrento, and a VIP F1 party at the Monaco Grand Prix. Fares for the half- and full-day excursions range from $109 to $2,259 per person.
In 2014, 25 Crystal cruises of seven to 14 days will sail through the Mediterranean, Northern and Western Europe and the British Isles. Until April 30, all-inclusive "Book Now" cruise fares start at $2,640 per person.
Crystal's passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury shore-side experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures program, earning the line top ratings for two decades.
