WHAT’S NEW & NEXT FOR

CRYS TAL
Crystal Luxury Air
Crystal is once again pioneering new fronts in
the luxury travel industry with the addition of an
ultra-long-range aircraft, a Bombardier Global
Express XRS. Launched April 2016, the new
plane serves private charters and can transport
guests to their Crystal destinations for ocean,
river or yacht voyages from any point in the
United States to the Mediterranean, Indian
Ocean and the Pacific.

Crystal Mozart Sets Sail
Officially launching Crystal River Cruises “The World’s Only Luxury River Cruise Line,” Crystal
Mozart began her maiden voyage round-trip from Vienna, July 13, 2016. The line welcomed the “Queen
of Europe’s Rivers” to the fleet on July 11, during a ceremonial christening by godmother Elizabeth
Gürtler. Sailing along the Danube River, the fully-redesigned river ship boasts spacious and stylishly
appointed guest suites, elegant public lounges and dining venues serving Crystal’s signature worldclass cuisine. Crystal’s newest vessel accommodates 154 guests, traveling to some of the most storied
destinations in Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and Hungary.

Luxury Super Yacht
Crystal officially welcomed Crystal Esprit to its award-winning fleet in time for an inaugural sailing
through the Seychelles in December 2015. The sleek luxury yacht was christened in the Seychelles by
godmother Lady Gaenor Anne
Meakes on December 20, making it
the first of ten new vessels to join the
renowned Crystal brand by the end of
2019. For the remainder of 2016,
Crystal Esprit will sail the Adriatic
Coast and Cosmopolitan Emirates to
exotic destinations such as Venice,
Dubrovnik, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In
the winter of 2017, Crystal Esprit
returns to the stunning locales of the
Seychelles.
