At Ocean World Travel, we’re proud to feature Crystal Cruises among our most luxurious cruise offerings. Known for their unmatched service, world-class dining, and intimate ships, Crystal has redefined ultra-luxury cruising. And yes, a lot is included.

Let’s explore what makes a Crystal cruise so exceptional—and what you can expect to be included in your fare.

1. Spacious, All-Suite Accommodations with Butler Service

Every suite on board a Crystal cruise ship is a suite with a view—many with private verandahs, spacious living areas, and walk-in wardrobes. But what truly sets Crystal apart is the personal butler service, available to all guests, no matter the suite category.

Your butler can unpack your luggage, deliver afternoon canapés, make spa and dining reservations, and more. It’s like having a private concierge on board.

2. Michelin-Inspired Dining – All Included

Crystal Cruises is renowned for its exquisite cuisine, and it’s all part of the fare.

You’ll enjoy:

• Open-seating dining at elegant restaurants

• Nobu-inspired Umi Uma (a highlight of Crystal’s culinary programme)

• Classic international cuisine in Waterside

• Casual options like The Bistro and Marketplace

• 24-hour in-suite dining

Whether it’s a six-course tasting menu or a light bite by the pool, you’ll never be short of exceptional dining choices.

3. Fine Wines, Premium Spirits & Champagne

On a Crystal cruise, there’s no need to worry about bar tabs or drinks packages. Your cruise fare includes:

• Sommelier-selected fine wines

• Champagne and craft cocktails

• Premium spirits and beers

• In-suite minibar restocked daily

And yes – your butler will happily deliver your drink of choice directly to your suite.

4. Gratuities and Service Charges – Already Covered

Forget tipping envelopes or added charges at checkout. All gratuities for housekeeping, dining, and bar staff are included in your fare. Crystal believes true luxury means never having to reach for your wallet once on board.

5. Complimentary Shore Excursions

On many itineraries, Crystal Cruises includes one complimentary shore excursion per port – a rare luxury in the cruise world. These curated experiences range from cultural walking tours and scenic drives to unique culinary encounters.

Want something more exclusive? Crystal also offers optional, bespoke excursions for guests seeking deeper exploration.

6. Enrichment & Entertainment

Crystal’s commitment to intellectual engagement sets it apart. Guests can enjoy:

• Enrichment lectures by authors, historians, and explorers

• Wellness and fitness classes (including yoga and Pilates)

• Live music and entertainment in intimate lounges

• Destination-led cultural performances

From Bridge classes to film screenings and guest speakers, there’s something enriching around every corner.

7. Wellness, Fitness & Spa Access

Included in your fare is access to:

• A state-of-the-art fitness centre

• Group classes like yoga and stretching

• Thermal spa areas (availability may vary by ship)

• Jogging tracks, pools, and whirlpools

Spa treatments come at an extra cost, but your wellness journey begins the moment you step on board.

8. Unlimited Wi-Fi & Onboard Connectivity

Crystal understands that staying connected matters—whether for work or to share your journey with loved ones.

That’s why unlimited Wi-Fi is included, along with in-suite USB ports, smart TVs, and an intuitive onboard app for booking shore excursions or checking daily schedules.

9. Personalised Service at a Remarkably High Staff-to-Guest Ratio

Crystal maintains one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios in the industry, ensuring truly personalised service. From the welcome champagne on arrival to remembering your name and your favourite drink, the crew go above and beyond.
