Crystal Cruises introduced a new “Standby” program that enables last-minute travelers to sail at up to 75 percent off brochure fares on five May-June sailings in Alaska, the Baltic and North Cape.
Greatly reduced tiered pricing offers fares as low as $2,995 for 12-day cruises.
Standby fares are based on availability, require a $500 per guest deposit upon reservation, and will be confirmed on a “first requested, first confirmed” basis no earlier than 45 days prior to departure.
Eligible cruises include: 12-day Alaska cruises -- round-trip from San Francisco -- Departing May 9, 21 and June 2; 11-day Scandinavia/Russia sailing -- Hamburg to Stockholm – Departing May 22.
Prices range from $2,995 for a deluxe stateroom with large picture window to $3,995 for a deluxe stateroom with verandah. For a 14-day North Cape/Arctic Circle voyage, from Copenhagen to Stockholm, departing June 13, prices range from $4,995 for deluxe stateroom with large picture window to $5,995 for a deluxe stateroom with verandah.
Standby fares on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity are cruise-only for new bookings as of April 7, and do not include air transportation; port, security and handling charges; or “All Inclusive – As You Wish” spending credits. Fares quoted are per person, based on double occupancy accommodations, and other restrictions apply. Final payment is due within three days of confirmation.
“We haven’t offered anything like this in almost a decade,” said Bill Smith, Crystal’s senior vice president, sales and marketing. “There is no doubt that travelers who make their decisions early are rewarded with early confirmation, a greater choice of accommodations, and value-added spending credits. However, there are people making travel decisions closer in, and this is an extraordinary opportunity for luxury travelers who just can’t plan their vacations far in advance
