Crystal Cruises reports record bookings for the week ending June 2 – the highest booking week since the luxury line expanded its “All Inclusive – As You Wish” program. The number of guests booking & revenue was over 100% higher than the average weekly totals since the beginning of 2009.

The surge of interest has been strong for both close-in cruises & those over a year out, including notable increases for summer cruises aboard Crystal Symphony & Crystal Serenity in the Baltic & Mediterranean, fall cruises in New England/Canada & Europe, & winter South the united states.

In the past two weeks, Crystal has hosted its top producing travel agents at a festive Awards Gala, launched its elegant new web-site, & has enjoyed tremendous response to its promotions:

“It’s very positive to see such a strong response to Crystal’s promotions,” said Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises. “Guest satisfaction has been very high & the travel agent community has been very supportive of our programs. Luxury travelers appreciate enriching experiences, abundant choices, consistency of reputation, & strange value.”

— Crystal Assurance Plan provides enduring value that has resonated with discerning travelers.

— All Inclusive – As You Wish promotion offers up to $1,000 per person spending credit allows guests to customize their cruise experience on almost every 2009 & 2010 itinerary (and even $5,000 per person for the World Cruise);
— Celebration Savings & 20th Anniversary Fares extend up to $1,500 savings per person on most 2009 & 2010 Mediterranean & Baltic itineraries & Crystal Symphony South america voyages;
— Crystal relatives Memories promises a free berth & a host of bonus perks & credits for families;
— Birthday Bonus: Book your 2010 birthday cruise by December 31, 2009 & save 50% on a future Crystal cruise taken before your next birthday; and

“Guests have been particularly reassured by the fare protection of our CAP program,” adds Michel. “If someone books a 2009 or 2010 Crystal cruise & the fare for that stateroom category is later reduced, the guest will be protected at the reduced fare. It’s a respectful way to treat your valued clientele.”
