Crystal
is World's Best Again - For Record 14th Year |
|
For a record 14th year, Crystal Cruises has been
voted “World’s Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” by the readers of Travel
+ Leisure magazine. The ultra-luxury line is the only cruise line,
resort or hotel to have won the prestigious award each year since
the awards’ inception. Crystal Cruises’ 2009 World’s Best Score of
88.94 is the highest of any cruise line – large or small. A Crystal
cruise is the only vacation experience to have been voted #1 by
Travel + Leisure readers for 14 years.
The World’s Best Awards are featured in the magazine’s August 2009
issue based on a first quarter 2009 survey of thousands of
discerning world travelers. Subscribers were only permitted one vote
each, and were asked to rate cruise lines on cabins, food, service,
itineraries/destinations, activities and value, plus an optional
vote for families.
“We are so honored and gratified that Crystal’s winning formula of
superior service, choices, space, quality and value was treasured by
so many discerning Travel + Leisure readers,” says Crystal Cruises’
President Gregg Michel. “This award continues to be a tremendous
validation of the authentic warmth and professionalism of Crystal’s
extraordinary staff and our unparalleled attention to detail.”
Crystal’s luxurious, award-winning fleet comprises the 922-guest,
50,000-ton Crystal Symphony and the 1,070-guest, 68,870-ton Crystal
Serenity, which sail worldwide itineraries of seven to 100+ days. In
September, Crystal Symphony will undergo a major multimillion dollar
redesign. By the fall of 2009, Crystal Cruises will have invested
more than $65 million in its two ships within a three-year period.
Inspired innovative features like restaurants with cuisine by Nobu
Matsuhisa, ultimate wine experiences, tech concierges, over-the-top
Crystal Adventures ashore, and relentless attention to detail
continues to distinguish the Crystal experience.
“We continue to invest in our ships, with sophisticated design,
product features and services that obviously reap high marks from
astute travelers,” adds Michel. “In this challenging, competitive
travel environment, we know this rating means a lot to travelers.
When they part with their hard-earned vacation dollars, they want
the assurance that they are getting the best at a great value |
