Available until 2 September, 2020, Australians can book any Crystal ocean, river or expedition cruise through Cruise Traveller without any down payment, with a reduced deposit of 15 per cent (normally 25 per cent) only required 90 days later. Final payment deadlines for Crystal journeys have also been relaxed and 100 per cent refunds of deposits are now also available for cancellations prior to standard schedules, with administration fees waived.
Flexible booking terms are available until 2 September, 2020.
With some itineraries available now for up until 2023, Cruise Traveller managing director, Craig Bowen, says Crystal’s new booking terms offer eager travellers value, flexibility and peace of mind.
“Crystal offers award-winning, all-inclusive, small-ship cruises across its eight, ultra-luxe ocean, river and expedition ships … ocean ships carry fewer than 1000 guests, expedition vessels accommodate under 200 guests and river ships carry fewer than 106 guests, so travellers on any Crystal voyage experience the small-ship benefits of space, personal service, intimacy and relaxed sophistication.”
The new, flexible booking terms – as well as special discounts – are available on a special new fly, cruise and stay package offered exclusively by Cruise Traveller to help Australians celebrate the 2021 festive season.
The 17-night ‘Fireworks and Fjords’ package will see guests pampered with fine dining, attentive service, included beverages, an unforgettable Christmas dinner at sea – with carols and all the trimmings – and a unique and exciting New Year’s Eve party on Sydney Harbour.
The package begins on 20 December, 2021, with free flights to Auckland (from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane, with AUD$250 extra from Perth). Crystal Cruises and Cruise Traveller are offering travellers savings of up to AUD$8230 per couple for bookings made by 30 September, 2020.
After flying into Auckland, guests will stay at a five-stay hotel for a night before boarding Crystal Cruises’ ultra-luxury, 848-passenger Crystal Symphony and begin their journey to Melbourne via NZ’s top ports and spectacular Fjordland. Highlights of the 16-night cruise include a festive Christmas Day at sea and Sydney’s iconic New Year’s Eve Fireworks seen from the decks of the ship, docked in Balmain. The cruise ends in Melbourne, with a free flight home to Sydney, Adelaide or Brisbane (Perth flight included in $250 surcharge).
Including free flights to Auckland pre-cruise (from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide) and from Melbourne (to Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide) post-cruise, a bonus USD$200 onboard spending credit per person, onboard beverages, a specialty dining experience, WiFi and gratuities, the 17-night luxury package in December, 2021, is available from AUD$10,765 per person, twin-share – a saving of AUD$4115 per person – and from AUD$13,975 for solo travellers – a saving of AUD$14,640. The cost from Perth is AUD$250 extra.
