Jann Porter will be on the Crystal Serenity Pre-Inaugural Cruise from Venice to Marseilles, 25 to 31 July 2023
Crystal is a unique cruise line with a very loyal following and it’s wonderful that the ships will soon be operational again. I’m so excited to be one of the first onboard to experience the relaunch of Crystal.
