Complimentary Three-Day Beijing Adventure On Crystal Cruises' New
Spring China Voyages
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Crystal
Cruises is taking guests off the ship and through Beijing's most historic and cultural sites for
three nights next spring, as part of two new 2013 cruises to
China. For the first time in four years, the all-inclusive
Overland Adventure will be featured as a complimentary pre- and
post-cruise package on two different luxury cruises, both sailing
aboard Crystal Symphony for 10 days before and after the unique
land trip:
- An "All China" voyage, departing March 23, offering extended time in several of
the country's greatest cities, as follows: Hong Kong (overnight)-Xiamen-Shanghai (two nights)-Dalian-Beijing/Zingang.
- A "Pan-Asia" sailing, departing March 30, offering not just a taste of several
Asian countries, but plenty of time in port, with several
overnights, as follows: Beijing/Zingang-Dalian-Shanghai
(overnight)-Pusan, S.
Korea-Nakasaki-Kobe, Japan (two
nights). Travelers can sail all the way to North America by also adding the following
Kobe-Vancouver voyage, through Russia and Alaska (Crystal's only Alaska cruise in 2013), afterward.

"These cruises offer incredible itineraries for easily exploring
a region that is fascinating, extremely vast, and growing very
quickly in terms of travel popularity," explains John Stoll, vice president of land and port
operations. "To also spend three nights and days immersed in
one of the area's greatest cities, with the benefit of still
traveling in Crystal's signature Six-Star style while on land,
brings even more value and destination enrichment to these
vacations."
The Beijing land program
provides in-depth exploration of the city and surrounding's most
popular landmarks -- like Tiananmen Square, The Great Wall, Olympic
Park, and The Forbidden City -- as well as exclusive access to
intimate cultural experiences – like a rickshaw tour through
Beijing's complex
alleyways/hutongs and a spectacular dinner and performance
at the government's Great Hall of the People. Throughout,
Crystal provides expert guidance, enriching insight, luxury
accommodations, traditional meals, transportation (including
transfers between Beijing and the
ship), porterage, gratuities, and English-speaking escorts.
Until October 31, all-inclusive
"Book Now" fares for the voyages, with Beijing trip included, start at $4,620 and $4,400,
for March 23 and 30's cruises,
respectively, with additional savings for combining "back-to-back"
sailings. The cruises are also available without the
Beijing trip starting at
$3,820 and $3,600, respectively.
Crystal's passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury
shore-side experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures
program, helping earn the line top ratings for two decades.
