Treasures of Tuscany, Venice to Civitavecchia (for Rome)
from 12 to 22 July 2021 on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner
“Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ 10 night exploration of some of the Adriatic Sea and a good sprinkling of Italian islands and countryside too. There are enough free shore excursions for you to catch up with what you missed out on this year. It’s a fantastic itinerary with a variety of excursions to fill your time – there’s even an overnight stay in Tuscany. See Dubrovnik’s ancient walls on a guided walking tour, or from a guided kayaking trip. Learn the secrets of Montenegrin cooking in a lesson in a centuries-old family estate, sip wine at a stunning winery in Sicily in the shadow of Mount Etna – a picture postcard moment. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface…”
Up to 76 Shore Excursions are included and herewith a sampling:
Arctic Coasts, Cliffs & Fjords, Copenhagen to Amsterdam
from 16 July to 5 August 2021 on the Regent Seven Seas Navigator
“It is a cruise for the collector, a rare occasion to visit places very few people will ever see and a cruise is the absolute best way to visit these places; the Norwegian fjords, North Cape, the Solovevetsky Islands, Archangel and the Shetlands. Throw in a few beautiful cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Stavanger and then add some calm sea days and you have a cruise brimming with enrichment possibilities. It’s not often that your holiday swings from Viking conquests to Arctic circle wilderness to chic city breaks, but that’s exactly what this cruise does.”
Up to 74 Shore Excursions are included and herewith a sampling:

Crystal Cruises Travel List - Looking back to where it began has Crystal
looking ahead to Monumental Adventures
The Last Frontier was actually Crystal’s first frontier, as on 24 July 1990, the Crystal Harmony set sail on her maiden voyage along the Pacific Coast to the chilly waters, towering forests and untamed wilderness of Alaska.
Crystal Alaska cruises have been the backdrop for thousands of epic adventures for travellers over the past 30 years, from the world’s largest ziprider;trekking and dogsledding across glaciers to sea-kayaking through ice floes and following the tracks of Gold Rushers on the railway. It was the starting point for both of Crystal Serenity’s groundbreaking Northwest Passage journeys and still – after all these years and experiences – it remains one of the destinations most coveted by intrepid travellers.
And the reasons are many. Countless, really, as even those who have trod along the rugged shores of the Pacific Northwest are keen to return, knowing there’s so much more to discover. For those who have yet to tick Alaska off of their must-explore travel lists, these are some of the innumerable “wow” moments that await you…
In 2021, the Crystal Endeavor with 200 guests, will sail five Alaska cruises to hubs of Gold Rush, fishing and native history, as well as the far-removed Aleutian Islands. In 2022, the Crystal Serenity with 980 guests, will sail six Alaska cruises between Anchorage and Vancouver.
