Revealing the itinerary on Tuesday aboard Crystal Serenity's current world voyage, Crystal Cruises president and ceo Edie Rodriguez told passengers they'd be able to discover their 'wild side' as the 2019 cruise visits regions known for wilderness adventures, wildlife and extreme heights and depths.
Safaris, treks throughout the Outback and Madagascar and Hawaii adventures to the top of volcanoes and the colorful bottom of the ocean are all on the 'to-do' list for days spent in these magnificent ports, Rodriguez wrote on her blog.
'Of course, if you’re like me, you’ll also want to mix in some decidedly cosmopolitan luxury and iconic experiences between the ruggedness. VIP access to Sydney’s Opera House, getting lost in the wonder of Barcelona’s Sagrada Família and relishing the glamour of the Palais Princier de Monaco in Monte Carlo (or really all things in Monte Carlo) will fit this bill perfectly,' she added.
The 2019 world cruise is open for booking now.
Rodriguez also issued 'save the dates' for new Crystal experiences.
