Crystal Ravel was originally designed to sail on the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers from Bordeaux from August 2017. However, based on overwhelmingly positive guest feedback regarding Central Europe itineraries in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Amsterdam, Crystal Cruises have elected to delay their entry into the French river cruise market, choosing instead to prioritise their offerings in the German/Austrian region in order to meet high traveller demand for those destination experiences.
Therefore, to best serve their valued guests and accommodate new itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, Crystal Cruises are modifying and enlarging this luxury river yacht.
The hallmarks of the Crystal brand – service, space, quality and choices – usher in a new era in European river exploration with Crystal River Cruising. With its signature All-Inclusive philosophy, Crystal offers an encompassing luxury experience: butler service for every suite; six-star service and truly exceptional food; unique Crystal Adventures that deliver memorable destination experiences – all working in synch to transpose the World’s Best Ocean Cruising to the World’s Best River Cruising. Crystal will redefine luxury river cruising.
AccommodationThe Crystal River Cruises™ culinary experience celebrates dining with a savory combination of cuisine and conversation that together foster unique experiences in a relaxed environment of engaging camaraderie. Lavish culinary presentations of Michelin Star-level will be enjoyed in an elegant dining room and several more intimate dining areas.
DiningCruises will feature a destination-focused entertainment and enrichment program, including onboard lecture series. There will be a destination expert on each voyage, as well as regional affairs experts on many voyages.
