Crystal Cruises has been chosen ‘America’s Best in Travel’ in the Luxury Cruising category of the 2013 Women’s Choice Awards—the only award recognizing brands and companies recommended by women, to women. 

Based on a national poll of more than 1,300 female consumers and travel agents, the award not only reflects the priorities and preferences of female consumers, but also praises Crystal’s dedication to excellence in service, spacious and elegant atmosphere, luxurious details, and genuine care shown by crew and officers.  The awards were created by leading research company and female consumer advocate, WomenCertified.

“Our guests have always been our biggest cheerleaders, but the Women’s Choice Award represents a significant stamp of approval from our female quotient, as women continue to play the primary role in planning and booking family travel,” says Edie Bornstein, the line’s recently-appointed, and first-ever, female president.

The ease, luxury, and comfort of the Crystal experience has long made the line a preferred vacation choice for women.  Women traveling alone can find low solo fares; Ambassador Hosts escorts; group shore excursions; and assigned dinner seating.  Highly accomplished female speakers, such as political consultant Mary Matalin and counter-terrorism expert Farhani Ali, are also regularly featured in Crystal’s enrichment program.

Until February 28, all-inclusive Crystal Cruises fares start at $1,215 per person, with additional savings via more than 20 special offers, including a “Crystal Family Memories” program for groups of 6 or more, be it a girls’ getaway, or family vacation.
