Sneak Peak 2007: 257 World Cruise Crystal Adventures Ashore
Now Available Online At CrystalCruises.com

LOS ANGELES, February 13, 2006 - With interest in world cruising at an
all time high, this week luxury cruise specialist Crystal Cruises
becomes the first cruise line to post its 2007 shore excursion details
online. All 257 Crystal Adventures for Crystal Serenity's 109-day
World Cruise, January 12 - May 1, 2007, may be reviewed at
www.crystalcruises.com, with complete pricing and the option to book
ready by April 1.

"The detailed information provided for each Crystal Adventure makes
the destination come alive," says John Stoll, Crystal's director of
land programs. "Historically, we have been sharing details of our
shore programs earlier and earlier, allowing guests already booked on
a World Cruise the opportunity to plan their shoreside excursions in
advance, and providing those not yet booked with compelling insights
on the Crystal Adventures that are possible."

Of the 257 Crystal Adventures 41 are brand new, showcasing active and
authentic enrichment, including:

* A helicopter adventure over Israel to Jerusalem and the UNESCO
World Heritage site of Massada (from Ashdod);
* A journey by boat of Palm Island, the world's largest man-made
islands under construction off the coast of Dubai;
* Visits into the heart of Avignon, Château Neuf du Pape and
Arles, and the Bullet Train to Paris, all from Marseilles.

Crystal Cruises' rich collection of overland tours allows for true
cultural immersion. An expanded roster of one- to four-night
adventures showcase the best of treasured destinations and acclaimed
properties, such as the award-winning African safari lodges Singita
and Mala Mala. Highlights for 2007 include:

* Five new African safaris, including excursions to the Londolozi
and Tswalu Kalahari private game reserves, are among the more than ten
safaris on offer from Cape Town, South Africa; Walvis Bay, Namibia;
and the maiden call of Maputo, Mozambique;
* A new three-night adventure into the heart of Patagonia (from
Puerto Montt, Chile); and,
* Journeys to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu (from Guayaquil,
Ecuador).

"By tailoring our itineraries with more overnight stays and more time
in each port, we are able to give the guests what they want - the
opportunity to experience a destination in a more relaxed and
authentic manner," Stoll continues. "By tailoring excursions to the
evolving interests of our guests - and sharing the information with
them sooner - we are able to offer great value, enriching experiences
and all the luxury of Crystal Cruises."

Crystal Cruises' 12th annual World Cruise travels from Miami, Florida
to Southampton, England, exploring 45 ports of call in 27 countries on
five continents - its most extensive global crossing ever offered.
Considered the grandest of voyages, the "Treasures of Sun & Sea"
itinerary includes a return to Israel, a visit to Carnaval in Rio,
three days in Antarctica and transits of such coveted world
attractions as the Chilean fjords, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal,
Cape Horn and the Bosporus.

The Crystal Difference

The 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity is among the most
spacious and luxurious vessels cruising in the luxury market. Its
unique size allows for smooth sailing and a wide range of innovative
facilities, generous amenities and elegant accommodations.

For the past ten consecutive years, Crystal Cruises has been voted
"World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" by the readers of Condé Nast
Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines - the only cruise line, resort
or hotel to have achieved such distinction.
