In keeping with the surge of participation in expanded shoreside experiences, Crystal Cruises has increased the number of extended land adventures available with its 2007 World Cruise program.

The ultra-luxury line is presenting 25 compelling one- to four-night overland trips - including 11 completely new programs - in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. Crystal's World Cruisers will have the opportunity to view iguanas and giant tortoises in the Galapagos, crocodiles and monkeys in the Amazon, and rhinos, lions, elephants, zebras and giraffes on an array of African safaris.

In 2006, more than 100 Crystal World Cruisers participated in overland adventures. In the past few weeks, excursions to the Mala Mala, Singita, and Phinda Private Game Reserves and a dune dinner safari in Dubai all rated a perfect 10. In 2007, Crystal is not only offering those lauded adventures but has added exclusive journeys to the luxurious, acclaimed Londolozi Private Game Reserve and the Mt. Kenya Safari Club, among other memorable options.

"Our guests have an insatiable curiosity for up close and personal worldwide adventures - whether one is taking a segment of the World Cruise or the entire voyage," says Bill Smith, senior vice president, sales & marketing. "Traveling to different countries aboard the luxurious floating resort that is Crystal Serenity is just one part of their experience. Our guests relish the opportunity to venture beyond the port cities to experience the destinations' culture, wildlife and unique treasures."

Considered the grandest of all voyages, Crystal Cruises' 12th Annual World Cruise aboard the ultra-luxurious, award-winning Crystal Serenity departs Miami, Florida on January 12, 2007 and concludes in Southampton, England. A return to Israel, Carnaval in Rio, three days cruising Antarctica, and three days in Dubai and Cape Town are just some of the destination highlights.

Among the newest overland programs:

A three-night Patagonian adventure from Puerto Montt, Chile

A choice of three-night adventures from Buenos Aires to the Amazon, Iguazu Falls or Uruguay's oldest city, recently declared a UNESCO world heritage site

Two- and four-night safaris to the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, the exclusive Rattray's camp on the Mala Mala Game Reserve and the Crater Lodge at Ngorongoro, among others

A three-night adventure exploring Israel's city of Eilat, Massada and the Dead Sea, Galilee and the various historic sections that distinguish Jerusalem.

Overland Adventures range from $621 to more than $8,000 per person, depending on the excursion.

In addition to the numerous overland opportunities, Crystal is offering more than 250 full-day and half-day Crystal Adventures during the 109-day journey to 44 ports of call in 27 countries. A dedicated Crystal Private Adventures team is also available to arrange a completely customized shoreside experience.
