Nights on Crystal’s sensational ships are always something special, and they can be as exciting and lively – or as quiet and relaxed – as you like; with so many spots to sit and unwind onboard, the choice really is yours.

If you want to unwind after a busy day with a tasty drink and some live entertainment, you’ll find Broadway-style performers and headline entertainers in Galaxy Lounge. Or, you can head to the Night Club onboard (known as Jade Night Club on Crystal Symphony and Pulse Night Club on Crystal Serenity) to dance the night away with colourful cocktails and karaoke complimenting the comfortable atmosphere. There’s also plenty of places to enjoy a quieter moment when the sun sets, with venues like the Connoisseur Club and Palm Court a little more laid back.

When it comes to entertainment onboard, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Highlights include impressive tribute acts (with Billy Joel and Elton John among the incredible artists being paid tribute to), live performances of theatrical classics like Rent and West Side Story, stand-up from seasoned comedians, and a whole lot more. The selection of entertainment onboard will vary from itinerary to itinerary, but rest-assured knowing that these live performances – including Crystal’s wonderfully-talented seven-piece house band – are always of the highest quality.

Travel in complete elegance and unrivalled comfort to some of the most stunningly beautiful parts of the world with Crystal. Between the two sensational ships, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, you can sail anywhere from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, stop off in South America or Northern Europe, and even take an exciting itinerary to the Far East.

Better yet, when it comes to actually exploring these sensational destinations, Crystal’s dedicated shore excursions team offers some of the most immersive and enriching excursions available – or, of course, you can head ashore unguided and explore at your own pace! With Crystal, the choice is yours.

In-between exploring sensational destinations and embarking on exciting shore excursions, there’s plenty of activities for you to indulge in while sailing with Crystal; so, you’ll never find yourself without anything to do during sea days on these truly sensational vessels. From an evening trying your luck at the opulent Casino de Monte-Carlo to a quiet moment or two tucking into a good book in the onboard Library, there’s going to be something to keep you busy throughout the day and into the evening no matter what you feel like doing.

You’ll also find an itinerary of organised activities available on every voyage, with craft workshops and wellness classes just two examples of the rewarding experiences available here. You’ll also find paddle tennis and pickleball available in the Wimbledon Court and a place to soak up the sun in the cool water thanks to the Seahorse Pool – complete with whirlpools for an even more sumptuous soak.

Crystal’s entertainment venues also offer a series of captivating lectures, with high-profile speakers from all walks of life (including movie stars, sportspeople, and even astronauts) sharing their experiences and exploring their lives and careers in more detail. Then, to complement this with something from the other end of the spectrum, Crystal’s itineraries also include parties; so, you can enjoy both an intellectual afternoon and an exciting evening – Crystal caters to anyone and everyone.

Crystal’s Accessibility

On Crystal Serenity, you’ll find accessible staterooms available in a variety of grades – including outside cabins, spacious balcony staterooms, and opulent suites. However, on Crystal Symphony, you’ll only find accessible staterooms available as outside cabins and suites. Where possible, Crystal will also try to arrange lifts on buses that can accommodate wheelchairs and anyone with mobility issues. Although, it may be best to check ahead of time when it comes to specific destinations; some, sadly, are more accessible and wheelchair friendly than others.
