Luxury cruise line Crystal Cruises has unveiled an expanded slate of its new Crystal Getaways shorter itineraries.

The company has added new voyages for both 2017 and 2018, including a pair of cruises in the Caribbean in both years.

In 2017, Crystal Serenity will sail eight-day voyages, with one journey from Fort Lauderdale to Barbados and a second from Barbados to Charleston.

In 2018, Crystal will sail from Lima to Colon, Panama on Crystal Symphony, with that ship also handling a seven-day itinerary from Aruba to Fort Lauderdale.

“Crystal Getaways are perfectly suited to modern luxury travelers, whose calendars are packed but who relish opportunities to discover new cultures and adventures,” says Carmen Roig, Crystal’s senior vice president of marketing and sales. “These shortened itineraries help our guests make the most of their travel time, with the same standard of Crystal’s award-winning luxury and enriching experiences, at a fraction of the fare of the full voyage.””
