In a huge affirmation of cruise industry excellence, Condé Nast Traveler magazine (U.S.) readers have voted Crystal Cruises as the Best Midsize Cruise Ship Line for 2014. This is the eighth consecutive year — 21 times in total — that Crystal has received this recognition. In fact, Crystal’s score of 90.142 was the highest of all cruise lines in the small-, midsize-, and large-ship categories, NYK said in its press release.
Nearly 77,000 readers voted in this year’s survey, critically evaluating not only the world’s best cruise lines but also hotels, airlines, cities, and islands.
In response to this recognition, Crystal president and COO Edie Rodriguez commented, “It is an extraordinary honor to be recognized as the No. 1 Midsize Cruise Ship Line by the well-traveled and discerning readers of Condé Nast Traveler for a record 21 years. Our guests highly evaluate our commitment to creating the ultimate luxury cruise experience.”
Earlier this year, Crystal Cruises was chosen by Travel + Leisure magazine as the World’s Best Cruise Line. In fact, Crystal Symphony is coming out of a renovation and will soon be embarking on its 25th anniversary world cruise, a complete circumnavigation of the globe.
