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.

From the moment you step on board, you will experience Crystal Cruises’ dedication to making your cruise with us a perfect one. Our Six-Star Commitment means each instant must be memorable, every detail sublime. From the grand designs of our ships to the right vintage wine, a turned-down bed, or even a simple smile, singular attention is paid to every detail of your cruise. For all of us at Crystal Cruises, Six-Star quality means more than awards and accolades; it means the constant pursuit of a single goal: to create the best, then make it better. We are not just aiming to provide a fabulous vacation, we are aiming to create an experience that will enrich your life and provide memories to cherish forever. Think of the farthest corners of the world connected by a smooth and shining sea. Imagine that a floating luxury resort, filled with everything you ever could desire, is waiting to carry you on the journey of your dreams. At Crystal Cruises, they take pride in navigating that magical highway of the sea, transporting you to the best the world has to offer.

Your days and nights on a Crystal cruise are effortless and carefree. You will revel in a wealth of time, a luxurious sense of leisure and ease; your hours are your own, to spend as you see fit. Released from the pressure of schedules and routines, you are free to play, to rest, to mingle and relax – to allow for the luxury of serendipity. Like the open sea, each day is limitless. You can chart a course, then change it at your whim. Let possibility fill the sails of your imagination and see what magic might appear.

Crystal Cruises gives you space to stretch out and explore. There are broad, sunny decks to stroll and inviting corners to settle into. There are cozy nooks where you can be alone. You can join a spellbound audience at an exciting Broadway-style show or get together with a few new friends over a frothy cappuccino. Your stateroom is a comforting place to call your own, where you can snuggle in and dream.

With skilled and practiced sleight-of-hand, chefs prepare the finest cuisine from around the world. Guests may begin a cruise alone, but within days they find themselves greeting new-found friends. There is a spirit of cheerfulness and good humor to be found wherever you are on the ship. Guests say that’s the real magic of a Crystal cruise. There’s no mystery to it; it’s simply a commitment to heartfelt service that creates an atmosphere of enchantment, every day.

13 Night cruise departing from Dakar to Malaga onboard Crystal Endeavor.

Navigate the routes of explorers to discover remote Atlantic isles, from Cape Verde to the Canaries. Explore birding paradises and a UNESCO-listed biosphere. Journey to Marrakesh and Casablanca, and revel in Costa del Sol Glamour of Marbella.

Highlights of this cruise:

DAKAR, SENEGAL
WINDOW TO THE WEST
Take a look into the city known as “West Africa’s Window to the Western World,” where architectural vestiges of its French rule are still on display, and peaceful islands beckon offshore of beautiful beaches. Dakar’s once tumultuous past is now revived with a brimming cultural scene, full of diverse markets and art galleries.

SÃO FILIPE, FOGO ISLAND , CAPE VERDE
A VOLCANIC HEART
A colonial gem of Portuguese architecture that seems to stand still in time, São Filipe sits regally atop the cliffs of Fogo Island. Beyond the historic center of Bila Baxo are sweeping views of black sand beaches and commanding surf. Explore the “lost” city of Chã das Caldeiras, built inside the volcanic crater, and taste the wines produced from the rich soil. Hikers relish the challenge and rewarding views from a trek up Pico de Fogo, just one of the island’s many fantastic hiking sites.

PORTO NOVO, CAPE VERDE ISLANDS
TROPICAL ISLE & EUROPEAN ROOTS
With towering peaks, agricultural terraces and palm trees swaying against a backdrop of verdant fields, the island of Santo Antão at first glance resembles Southeast Asia or perhaps mountainous Peru. Discovered and colonized by the Portuguese, the island—part of the 10-island country of Cape Verde—has European roots, and a claim as the first European outpost in the tropics. Explore the main street to see the harbor, old mansions, a small church and markets selling fresh fish and goat cheese.

SANTA CRUZ LA PALMA, SPAIN
SUN-DRENCHED SHORES
Flanked by fertile green hills, Santa Cruz de la Palma hugs the east coast of La Palma in the Canary Islands, a Spanish-held archipelago wrought from volcanic activity. The old town showcases a Caribbean feel and color palette, and cobbled streets lead to a marketplace where equally colorful products are sold, including mangoes, papayas, passion fruit and sugar cane.

PUERTO DE LA ESTACA, EL HIERRO, SPAIN
BRILLIANT BIOSPHERE
El Hierro was once thought to be the end of the world until Columbus ventured from here to the Americas. Now, it’s a place where millions of facets of the natural world begin – a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve that seems far removed from the modern-day charms of its neighboring Canary Islands. Meadows of wildflowers, juniper groves and pine forests are dotted with natural pools and trails for wandering, while exceptional diving lies just beyond shore.

SELVAGEM GRANDE, SAVAGE ISLANDS, PORTUGAL
BIRDERS’ PARADISE, POPULATION TWO
More than 40,000 Cory’s shearwater birds dominate this tiny speck on the map between the Madeira Islands and Canary Islands, overwhelming the human population of precisely two: a guard of the Natural Reserve and a biologist who resides in this natural haven to study the shearwaters’ behaviors. That’s not to say it’s a quiet, sleepy place. When the shearwaters are in residence, their calls can be heard from the zodiacs by which you’ll explore these shores.

SAFI, MOROCCO
GATEWAY TO MARRAKESH
The 16th-century Ksar El Bahr fortress presides over this town on the Atlantic coast, which also boasts the National Museum of Ceramics and an old town milling with marketplaces along the Rue de Souq. Beyond Safi, venture to Marrakesh for the heightened flavors, sights and sounds of the city. Ancient artistry is everywhere here, in the Saadian Tombs, palaces and museums. Explore the multi-faith traditions and architecture that color everyday life, and wander the workshops of the local Souqs.

CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
ARABIC CULTURE & FRENCH STYLE
With visions of Bergman and Bogart filling the imagination, it’s easy to explore the French-colonial design and narrow alleyways of the old Medina, and bargain-filled souks are reminders of mysterious days past. Yet this gleaming city has a firm grasp on the 21st century and today encompasses broad palm-lined boulevards, attractive public parks and soaring high-rises.

MARBELLA, SPAIN
SPARKLING COSTA DEL SOL
Subtle it is not. The waterfront of Puerto Banús in Marbella is lined with lavish yachts while the evening avenues are illuminated by glitzy nightclubs and restaurants. Sunset over these harbors is especially spectacular, after a day spent exploring beyond the modern delights into the deep heritage of Romans, Phoenicians and Moors. The old town is a lovely contrast, set against the Sierra Blanca mountains and lined by winding lanes and flower boxes.

MÁLAGA, SPAIN
PICASSO & THE ALCAZABA
See the wealth of historical treasures found in the coastal city of Màlaga. Once a major trading port, Màlaga has an eclectic mix of sites influenced by the Phoenicians, the Moors, and the Spanish.
