Exclusive Access and New Points of View

LOS ANGELES, August 2, 2010 - This fall, Crystal guests can see what
backstage life is like at the Monte Carlo Ballet, how the ponies live at
St-Tropez's Polo Club, view Mexico's Sierra Madre mountains from a private
plane and Copper Canyon by privately chartered rail, among other "private
access" experiences. The ultra-luxury line is offering nearly 100 brand new
Crystal Adventures with its fall itineraries, offering travelers distinctly
new perspectives on the destinations.

"Crystal's well traveled guests continually seek fresh and exclusive ways to
see destinations," says John Stoll, vice president, land and port
operations. "We design our Crystal Adventures to appeal to a broad range of
interests and offer travelers more choices."

On 20 distinctive voyages this fall, Crystal's award-winning ships explore
the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Holy Land, Canary Islands, British Isles, New
England/Canada, Panama Canal and the Mexican Riviera. Many of the latest
highlights ashore include VIP access and unique points of view:


Exclusive Access

* Private visit to Venice's Doges Palace before it opens to the public for
the day;
* Guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Monte Carlo Ballet, including the
costume department; and
* Behind-the-scenes visit to the Polo Club St-Tropez, exploring the stables
and luxury clubhouse, and visit with the polo ponies.


New Points of View

* In a private plane, soar over the Sierra Madre mountain range to
Guadalajara to experience its musical, spiritual and artistic culture (from

de Tenerife, Spain.
