Savvy travelers will appreciate the rare opportunity to experience the

special sampler cruise from Vancouver to San Francisco, May 28-30,
2005. Guests have a choice of a two-night cruise aboard the luxurious
Crystal Harmony from Vancouver to San Francisco, starting at just

one-night pre-cruise hotel stay, starting at just $580. The
three-night program, beginning on May 27, includes hotel
accommodations at Vancouver's Hyatt Regency and airport/hotel/ship
transfers. Fares are per person, based on double occupancy
accommodations.

"Crystal Harmony's one-of-a-kind weekend getaway offers an opportunity
for travelers to enjoy a taste of Crystal Cruises' exceptional
quality, space, choices and award-winning service," says Bill Smith,
Crystal's senior vice president of sales and marketing.

A true floating resort, Crystal Harmony is renowned for its service
and choices with extensive dining and entertainment options including:
gourmet dining in the Crystal Dining Room, or Italian and Japanese
cuisine served in alternative restaurants; gaming at the only Caesars

Traditionally known for its 10- and 12-day worldwide itineraries,
Crystal Harmony's sampler cruise is a new addition to the line's 2005
schedule. This year the line has added more seven-day cruises,
appealing to travelers who want luxurious and enriching experiences,

and is a perfect destination for a rejuvenating weekend escape. The
award-winning ship features expansive teak decks, including a full
Promenade deck for walking and jogging, complimentary 24-hour room
