Crystal Cruises Wins 11 Consecutive Years of Travel + Leisure's
Readers' Poll for 'World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line'
Unmatched Record of #1 Wins in the Cruise Industry
LOS ANGELES, July 10
For an 11th consecutive year, Crystal Cruises has been voted the
"World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" in Travel + Leisure magazine's
annual readers' survey. Crystal Cruises is the only cruise line,
resort or hotel -- and one of only three travel companies -- to have
won the prestigious award each year since the awards' inception.
"Travel + Leisure readers have an eye for style and excellence. We are
enormously pleased that Crystal Cruises' unparalleled formula of
choices, space, quality and service is so consistently voted best in
class by these savviest of travelers," says Gregg Michel, president,
Crystal Cruises. "With reputation a key factor in making a travel
decision, this is an important validation. I am very proud of the
tremendous efforts, consistency of execution and talents of our
shipboard and shore-side staff."
Travel + Leisure Editor-in-Chief Nancy Novogrod referred to the awards
as "a powerful gauge of the interests and tastes of sophisticated
travelers."
Crystal Cruises' luxurious, award-winning fleet consists of the
940-guest, 50,000-ton Crystal Symphony and 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton
Crystal Serenity, which cruise worldwide on itineraries of seven to
109 days.

Survey Methodology
For the eleventh annual readers' survey, a questionnaire developed by
the editors of Travel + Leisure, in association with Harris
Interactive, was made available to Travel + Leisure subscribers during
the first quarter of 2006. Respondents reported where they had
traveled worldwide and how, and rated only the destinations,
properties and companies that were relevant to their recent travel
experiences. Readers were asked to rate cruise lines on a variety of
criteria including Service, Itineraries/Destinations, Food, Cabins,
Activities and Value.
