Crystal Cancels AirCruises Program For 2017 And 2018
byCheryl Rosen/
Crystal AirCruises has canceled its six-figure-price-tagged luxury Air-Cruise Program, apparently in favor of using Crystal Skye, its converted Boeing 777, for whole aircraft private-jet charters instead.
Travelers booked on all previously scheduled Crystal AirCruises in 2017 and 2018 will receive a full refund and a complimentary experience on a Crystal ocean or river cruise in either year, the line said in a press release in response to an inquiry byTMR.

“As Crystal expands its portfolio of global travel experiences, the shift of Crystal Skye to special interest charters provides a distinct luxury option that is in great demand and is unmatched by any hotel, resort or cruise line in the world,” the press release said, noting that Crystal Skye already has been chartered for an inaugural 10 Day/9 Night beginning September 29, during the Golden Week celebration in China. That charter will be managed by Genting Hong Kong, Crystal’s parent company.
Genting Cruise Lines president Kent Zhu noted that particular itinerary "will be attractive to all Asians, including three-generation families, who often travel together during this extended holiday period.”
When Crystal takes delivery of Crystal Skye on August 1, it will be the largest global private jet tour travel option, with the highest crew-to-passenger ratio of any twin-aisle aircraft and room for 84 guests. It sports a social lounge with a stand-up bar where travelers can mingle, an executive chef, two state-of-the-art galleys and a premium wine list from the Crystal Skye Cellar.
水晶总裁兼首席执行官埃迪·罗德里格斯(Edie Rodriguez)表示:“著名的水晶体验的无缝奢华长期以来一直扩展到公司和私人宪章团体,寻求最诱人的诱因经验。“我们不断增长的豪华船只只会增加这些客人可用的选择,因为在整个水晶舰队中,定制的奢侈品和个性化服务的标准仍然无与伦比。”
