As you might already be aware, we’re currently celebrating five years of delivering you the finest luxury cruises with our Fifth Anniversary Celebration Sale. However, as an extra-special treat, we’re offering you the chance to embark on a year-long cruise on-board one of the world’s finest luxury cruise ships, Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Symphony. Just to get something clear, this is just more than simply a world cruise, amazing though that would undoubtedly be. This is the Crystal Symphony’s entire 2015 programme.

Where does the year-long cruise go?

After being picked up directly from your home thanks to our complementary chauffeur service, you’ll fly out to Singapore to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey you’ll never forget. Setting sail on January 5, you’ll spend the rest of the winter and the first part of spring exploring Southeast Asia and China, with calls at such ports as Bali, Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo. You’ll see the spring out by exploring some of Alaska’s coastal highlights, before travelling down America’s West Coast, with stops at such iconic cites as Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Panama City.

Still only half way into this year-long cruise and the start of the summer sees you in Northern Europe, with the opportunity to explore such capitals as Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Amsterdam. From there, you’ll head to the East Coast of America this time, working your way up from New York to Montreal in time to experience the beauty of New England in the autumn. You’ll spend the final season of this year to remember travelling down America’s East Coast in time to spend the winter in the Caribbean, calling at a host of sun-kissed ports including Miami, St Kitts and San Juan. The voyage ends in true style in Brazil’s legendary Rio de Janeiro.

How much does the year-long cruise cost?

Well, a lot less than you’d think. For a start, with Six Star Cruises, there’s absolutely no booking fee for this year-long cruise and if you were to book this truly epic voyage you’d make a massive 13 per cent saving on booking the voyages individually. Providing you book before the end of February, you can spend a year at sea on-board the Crystal Symphony Balcony Stateroom for just £122,996. For £262,876 a spacious Penthouse room is yours, while £350,425 gets you the ultimate in luxury – an opulent Penthouse Suite. All prices are per person, based on two people sharing and include port taxes. It’s worth noting too that with Six Star Cruises, there’s no credit card charge on this voyage, which is quite a saving when you consider the cost of the cruise and the nature of card charges these days.

What about the ship for the year-long cruise?

If you’re booking the ultimate luxury cruise, you need the ultimate luxury vessel. Elegant, stylish and intimate, the Crystal Symphony certainly fits the bill and will offer you everything you could ever want to keep you occupied on days at sea and evenings, too. A great choice of refined dining venues, a choice of swimming pools, a performance theatre and a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre are all yours to enjoy for the duration of your year-long cruise.
