Luxury - and adventure - specialist Crystal Cruises is introducing an unprecedented number of Crystal Adventures shore excursions for its 2009 World Cruise. Sailing roundtrip from Los Angeles January 21, 2009, the 106-day expedition boasts more than 300 tours in all, including 125 brand new, which are designed to sate guests' appetites for vigorous activity, as well as peak their intellectual and cultural curiosities. The tours take guests by horseback along New Zealand's coast, by foot through the Takitumu Rainforest, by helicopter over the filming locations of Lord of the Rings, even through the Alaskan forests and glaciers by go-kart, to ensure the most exhilarating experiences possible.
"The World Cruise excursions are specifically designed to enable travelers to explore, taste and feel each destination," says John Stoll, Crystal's director of land programs. "World Cruise guests no longer fit the stereotype of just sitting on the deck with a book and a blanket. Crystal guests are seeking worldwide adventures with six-star luxury."
Along with the tours, expanded onboard enrichment programming serves to offer Crystal World Cruise guests more - more celebrity guest lecturers and performers, more keyboard classes through Yamaha and language classes through Berlitz and more experiences and events unique to World Cruise itineraries.
