Crystal: Italian Treasures Sep 12-14, 2008

We love Italy. We love the architecture and the feeling of antiquity it evokes; we love the smiling happy people as they work and as they play; we love Mama Mia's delicious food; we love the Chianti and the vin santo and the lemoncello; we love the incredible treasures of art to be found there—more than in all the rest of the world combined!!; we love the charming boutiques full of silks and leather and jewelry and all the other little things a woman finds adorable; we love the warmth of the sun shining on our faces; we love the narrow winding streets with surprises around every turn; we love the photo opps we constantly encounter; we love the multitude of ruins dating back to pre-historic times; we love the chance meeting and connection with an Italian stranger and the glimpse into his life. Most of all we love the romance of visiting Italy. Italy is entoxicating. Italy will draw you back over and over. Who could not love Italia?!


The Crystal difference

Luxury, as they say, is in the details. It is so often the little details that make all the difference. And on a Crystal cruise, the differences are many. Here are some of the things that set us apart and have resulted in us receiving "World's Best Large-Ship Cruise Line" honors year after year.
