LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LEFT TO SAVE BIG WITH CRYSTAL’S BIRTHDAY BONUS

50% Future Savings Ends December 31

The deadline is fast approaching for guests to book their 2010 birthday Crystal cruise, and save 50% on a second cruise before their next birthday. In celebration of its 20th Anniversary in 2010, Crystal’s Birthday Bonus promotion presents guests who book a cruise for their 2010 birthday by December 31, 2009 with a certificate for 50% savings on another voyage before their 2011 birthday, even 2011 World Cruise segments.

Birthday guests in 2010 will also enjoy a special champagne breakfast and a Captain’s Quarters birthday party, in addition to the pampering Crystal experience.

“For many of our guests, a Crystal vacation is an ideal way to celebrate special occasions with friends and family. This offer makes the incentive to celebrate with us even sweeter, and adds tremendous value for future celebrations,” says Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales and marketing.

The Birthday Bonus promotion is among a host of special values Crystal is featuring for 2010, along with two-for-one cruise fares; complimentary air for most destinations – business class air for penthouse guests in Europe; up to $1,000 per person All Inclusive – As You Wish shipboard credits; and Crystal Family Memories group incentives, including complimentary berths.

Crystal’s award-winning ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, offer cruises to six continents ranging from seven to 108 days. Among the highlights of the year is the World Cruise, which can be taken in individual voyages of 12 to 21 days, and the annual Presidents’ cruise, which in 2010 travels from Dubai to Piraeus. Additionally, several cruises honoring the line’s anniversary dates will feature special programming and events, including dinners with original 1990 wine prices, Vintage Room experiences with 1990 cuvees and Crystal trivia contests with commemorative prizes.

Crystal’s 2011 voyages are now listed on the line’s website. For more information and Crystal reservations, contact a travel agent, call 888-799-4625, or visit www.crystalcruises.com.
