Crystal Cruises unveiled its plans for the Crystal Chairmen's Cruise (April 2 to 8, 2024) on the recently renovated Crystal Symphony ship. Departing from Jeddah Saudi Arabia, the themed voyage will visit Rhodes Island Greece.
Cristina Levis (A&K Travel Group's CEO) emphasized that the Crystal Chairmen's Cruise epitomized their commitment to redefining exceptional travel, reflecting their "dedication to providing guests with unique and enriching experiences, especially iconic land adventures, that elevate the Crystal brand."
Following A&K Travel Group's acquisition of Crystal Cruises in 2022 (which included the purchase and complete drydock refurbishments of Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity) travelers booking the voyage will have the opportunity to sail alongside industry executives Manfredi Lefebvre and Geoffrey Kent. Lefebvre, the executive chairman of A&K Travel Group, and Kent, the founder and chairman emeritus of Abercrombie & Kent, will host lectures, discussions, and meet-and-greet events, with a 5-day pre-cruise overland trip to AlUla, Saudi Arabia, available on a limited basis.
The voyage will also feature notable guests, including author Peter Maeck, artist Martin Kaye, musical theater actress Sabrina Aloueche, and retired judge Dennis Curran. Onboard entertainment options range from cabaret shows to an Elton John tribute, complemented by activities such as ballroom dance lessons and golf tips from a PGA professional. The Crystal Chairmen's Cruise represents a continuation of Crystal Cruises' commitment to delivering exceptional and distinctive travel experiences.
