New York Is Homeport For Three New Crystal Cruises In Fall 2006
40% Savings on 7- and 11-Day Itineraries
LOS ANGELES,
For the first time, award-winning Crystal Cruises is offering a fall
2006 11-day cruise round-trip from New York, as well as two new
seven-day itineraries from New York with Saturday departures. The
October 20 Wine & Food Festival sailing begins with the dramatic sail
past the Statue of Liberty and NY skyline for Newport, Boston, Quebec
City, Halifax and Bar Harbor before returning to New York on October
31. New England Chef Christian Thornton of Atria in Martha's Vineyard
will be aboard to present a grand five-course dinner and cooking
demonstrations, joined by Wine Expert Steve Krohn of the New England
Wine School and Newport Vineyards. Also joining the cruise for
stimulating daytime lectures are best-selling self-help book author
Dr. Fred Chernow, former FBI profiler Clint van Zandt, and handwriting
expert/author/legal consultant Alice Weiser.
On September 14 and 21, Crystal Cruises will offer its only seven-day
cruises round-trip from New York featuring visits to Halifax, Bar
Harbor, Newport and an overnight stay in Boston.
With special savings fares, travelers can save up to 40%. Seven-day
fall foliage cruises begin at $2,140, while the 11-day departure
starts at $3,415. Fares quoted are based on per person, double
occupancy accommodations.
From kayaking, biking and whale watching to lobster bakes, regional
wine tastings and visits to renowned historic landmarks, dozens of
Crystal Adventures have been created to maximize one's experience of
the destination. With Crystal Private Adventures, individuals or
families can craft completely customized experiences ashore.
"These sailings make it exceptionally convenient for travelers in the
Northeast to enjoy the seamless luxury and enrichment of a Crystal
cruise," says Bill Smith, Crystal Cruises' senior vice president,
sales & marketing.
