'Donald will be greatly missed at Crystal. He has been integral to our ongoing success in many ways including navigating through our expansion,' Crystal president and CEO Tom Wolber said. He is an expert in the nuances of the cruise industry, and is a true pleasure to work with. We wish him the very best and thank him for his teamwork and dedication to Crystal.'

'It has been a privilege to be part of the Crystal family,' Mason said, 'and, while I’m excited about my new opportunity, I will always be proud of the team here and the standard of excellence they maintain every day. I have no doubt that the team, guided by Tom’s outstanding leadership, will continue to succeed and excel in the luxury travel industry.'

Crystal has hired a firm to conduct a search for a successor.
