Crystal Cruises has unveiled a new itinerary for the upcoming winter season.

Crystal Cruises is inviting passengers to “give thanks” on its new ultra-luxury voyages debuting this Thanksgiving.

The new Caribbean cruises will provide passengers a unique change in scenery for the holiday, without sacrificing any of the traditional feast or family time.

“Any holiday is made extra special when celebrated on a Crystal voyage,” said Crystal President and CEO Edie Rodriguez. “We believe that travel, like Thanksgiving itself, has a way of bringing people and families closer together; we love when our guests choose to not only spend the holiday with their own friends and families, but with outs two.”

The two-week “Caribbean Cornucopia” voyage aboard the Crystal Symphony departs from Miami, and features calls in Cozumel, Mexico; Jamaica/Montego Bay; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Grand Cayman; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St Barth, French West Indies; St Kitts, West Indies; and Grand Turk/Turks and Caicos.

Passengers will have the opportunity to partake in the many activities available on and around the islands, such as ATV exploration, ziplining, kayaking, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, and cultural pursuits exploring ancient Mayan ruins and the endless variety of local flavors.
