FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WORLD FAMOUS GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA SIGNED FOR CRYSTAL'S 2009 TRANSATLANTIC
CRUISE
LOS ANGELES December 15, 2008 - Considered the most popular and sought after
Big Band in the world today, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is set to get
Crystal guests In the Mood for concerts and ballroom swing dancing on a
10-day Transatlantic Big Band cruise from Miami to Lisbon on May 23. With
its unique jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is regarded as one of the
greatest dance bands of all time.
Music and dance enthusiasts will enjoy daily live performances and evening
dancing, as well musically themed lectures, swing dance lessons, trivia
contests, and classic Big Band-themed films. Extra Ambassador Hosts will
ensure that all guests have dance partners.
Led by famous jazz trombonist Larry O'Brien, the 19-piece Big Band will
dazzle onboard audiences with their extensive repertoire of hits made famous
in the 30s and 40s, including Moonlight Serenade, Tuxedo Junction and In the
Mood.
"We are honored to have the Glenn Miller Orchestra as part of our 2009 music
roster as classic Big Band music is riding a trend of renewed interest and
popularity that spans several generations," says Bret Bullock, Crystal's
vice president, entertainment. "On this Crystal Serenity ocean crossing,
guests can take dance lessons, participate in stimulating discussions and
dance the night away without skipping a beat."
Besides a full music program, Crystal is planning an array of topical
lectures and classes, as well as impressive fitness program and luxurious
spa offerings.
The 10-day cruise departs from Miami and visits Hamilton, Bermuda and Ponta
Delgada, Portugal before arriving in Lisbon. West Coast guests can extend
their Crystal experience - and add convenience by preceding their
Transatlantic cruise with a Panama Canal cruise from Los Angeles. Guests
can also extend with a Mediterranean cruise, which continues on a rich
itinerary to Venice.
Value Collection cruise fares begin at $3,540 per person, double occupancy.
As Crystal celebrates a record 15th year voted "Best Large-Ship Cruise Line"
by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, guests can enjoy bonus savings up to
$1,500 per couple, depending on accommodations selected. Other special
savings include a Crystal Family Memories package and an additional 5%
savings for combining two or more voyages.
