An Opportunity to Make a Difference in the World While Vacationing on an Ultra Luxury Cruise

Crystal Symphony

One of our very favorite cruise lines is Crystal Cruises. We would like to share with you the top 4 reasons why we highly recommend Crystal Cruises:

1. The Crystal Voluntourism Adventures – The “You Care” element is dedicated to offering guests the opportunity to truly make a difference in local communities, while the “We Care” portion represents Crystal Cruises’ investment in preserving precious historical sites. Crystal Cruises offers selfless and enriching experiences for guests, known as Crystal Voluntourism Adventures. These Adventures allow guests to directly contribute to a special need or cause of a local community visited while cruising simply by volunteering their time. There is one complimentary Crystal Voluntourism Adventure on each 2011 and 2012 voyage. An example of these types of shore excursion is:

Volunteering with Cradles to Crayons – Complimentary – As part of Crystal’s “You Care, We Care” program, we are pleased to offer this complimentary, volunteer-focused excursion which takes you to the Boston-based non-profit organization, Cradles to Crayons, where you will assist in providing low-income and homeless children with the items they need most.

2. The Theme Cruises – From Digital Filmmaking, one of our favorites, where professional filmmakers will teach you to prepare, shoot, edit and polish your very own travel videos. Cameras and editing equipment are provided by Crystal Cruises. A Golf Themed Cruise where qualified instructors and PGA pros work with you, plus golf celebrities discusses the PGA Tour. To a Science & Technology theme, where discussions will be held on subjects like groundbreaking historical achievements to the rapid-fire progress of today’s technology, experts will share fascinating insight and guidance into navigating the vast and evolving world of science.

3. The Family Experience – Crystal Cruises understand family needs. They offer a Family Savings & Accommodations for Children 11 and younger. The cost is just 50 percent of the minimum fare when accompanied by two full-fare paying adults. Plus, throughout the year, the line occasionally sets special promotions in which children can sail free when sharing a room with two adults. The Accommodations – Crystal Symphony offers ten connecting staterooms and 89 staterooms with a third berth available. On Crystal Serenity, there are 50 connecting staterooms and 154 staterooms with a third berth available. Private Babysitting Services are also available for a fee.

4. The Shore Side Excursions – Optional Crystal adventures are unforgettable, to name a few that we find interesting:

– A limited number of guests have the chance to play a round of golf at the superb Royal Portrush Golf Club. This is your chance to experience world-renowned links and walk in the footsteps of some of the game’s greatest golfers.

– Experience the adrenaline rush of race-car driving with this chance to venture to Laitse Rally Park, the biggest cross-double rally track in the Baltics. Here, you will take the wheel of a performance vehicle for an exhilarating contest of speed and agility, while your friends and family cheer you on.

– America’s Cup Sailing Experience – Prepare to grind a winch and hoist a sail, or simply sit back and relax, as you glide across the blue waters of Cabo San Lucas aboard one of the world’s most prestigious vessels ever built.

– Who has not wished to walk among the stones at Stonehenge? You will not only venture to Stonehenge, Britain’s most remarkable and intriguing prehistoric monument and a World Heritage Site, but you will also visit the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral.
