Crystal Cruises cancels November 2011 call In Libya

Due to the recent turn of events in Libya, Crystal Cruises will cancel its call in Tripoli and revert to the original itinerary set for its November 16 “Italian Splendor” European cruise from Venice to Barcelona. The 11-day itinerary through the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas aboard Crystal Serenity will feature a maiden call in Koper, Slovenia, in addition to visits to Dubrovnik, Catania, Naples, Civitavecchia, Livorno and overnight stays in Venice and Barcelona.

“When Libya relaxed its visa restrictions, we were very excited to offer this exotic call to our fall cruise collection,” said Gregg Michel, Crystal’s president. “Fortunately, we can very easily replace the revised program with our original itinerary, which is rich in European culture, history and scenery.”

With Crystal’s mega fall sale, the “Italian Splendor” cruise starts at $4970 per person, double occupancy and offers savings up to $5,000 per couple. Crystal’s value pricing offers free round-trip air transportation from more than two dozen North American gateways (or generous air credits), $2,000 per couple “All Inclusive – As You Wish shipboard spending credits. A Bring-a-Friend and Crystal Family Memories programs provide bonus savings.

Always included are a host of luxurious inclusive amenities, services, lectures and dining opportunities that have earned Crystal accolades as the World’s Best – more than any other cruise line or hotel in history.
