Crystal Cruises is offering travelers the chance to experience the expanded
onboard programming and luxurious extras on its World Cruise in a condensed
24-day voyage from Istanbul to London. The 2007 World Cruise Grand
Combination Voyage April 7-May 1 marks the last two segments of the full
109-day World Cruise by the Crystal Serenity. A variety of industry experts
is slated to lead the enhanced onboard enrichment programs and lectures,
including CNN food and travel anchor Carolyn O'Neil, former U.S. Press
Secretary Marlin Fitzwater, pro football Hall-of-Famer Don Shula, and senior
military and government leader General Nick Halley. Guests can also take
part in the ship's Crystal Wine & Food Festival activities, including
cooking demonstrations and four-course dinners featuring the chef's
signature dishes, as well as wine tastings. For the 24-day cruise, guests
will also receive the extras offered on the full World Cruise, including
parties, gifts, a $400-per-couple onboard credit and two complimentary
shoreside Crystal Adventures, one on each of the 12-day segments. Fares
start at $11,200 per person, double occupancy, but guests will receive
savings of $4,236 per couple if they pay in full 180 days prior to
departure. The 24-day itinerary travels from Istanbul to Southampton, and
calls at Kusadasi, Turkey; Rhodes/Lindos and Nafplion, Greece; Gabès,
Tunisia; Taormina, Sicily; Naples, Rome, and Genoa, Italy; Marseille,
France; Málaga, Spain; Casablanca, Morocco; Oporto/Leixoes, Portugal; and Le
