New Port for Crystal Cruises: Ashdod, Israel

This fall Crystal Serenity will depart Athens, Greece on October 19 for its 12-night "Ruins and Relics" Mediterranean voyage. This is the perfect itinerary for anyone who's fascinated by the ancient—and not so ancient—histories of Greece, Israel, Egypt, Malta, and Italy.
Travelers on this voyage will be the first Crystal passengers to overnight in Ashdod, Israel. With two full days to explore this Israeli port city, there will be an opportunity to visit sites of importance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Shore excursions visit the Western (Wailing) Wall and Temple Mount, among other locations.
This will be an action-packed cruise since you'll visit so many different historic sites, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, King Herod's tomb, Pompeii, Mount Etna, the Acropolis, and so much more.

The "Ruins and Relics" Full Itinerary Includes…
Piraeus/Athens, Greece
Ashdod, Israel (overnight)
Alexandria/Cairo, Egypt (overnight)
Valletta, Malta
Sicily/Catania, Italy
Naples, Italy
Civitavecchia/Rome, Italy

A special guest speaker will also be onboard this voyage: former White House press secretary and expert in world affairs, Marlin Fitzwater.
Crystal is currently offering two-for-one fares for this itinerary, starting at $5,940, double occupancy plus free air transportation from more than 20 North American gateways (free Business Class Air for penthouse guests), and $1,000 per person ‘All Inclusive – As You Wish’ shipboard credits.
