LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24 -- Luxury cruise specialist Crystal
Cruises is honoring mothers with a Mother's Day cruise at 50% off brochure
rates. Guests will enjoy the Six-Star rated Crystal experience, including all
of Crystal Harmony's luxurious and pampering amenities, for as little as $181
per day, per person, double occupancy. The 11-day Panama Canal/Caribbean
itinerary departs Acapulco for Ft. Lauderdale on May 6 and spends Mother's Day
in Costa Rica (port of Caldera). Other calls include San Blas Island, Panama;
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; and Playa del Carmen/Cozumel, Mexico, as well as
the fascinating transit of the Panama Canal -- in its last year under U.S.
control.

To further celebrate this special day, Crystal Cruises is offering a
selection of Mother's Day gifts, including gift certificates, spa services and
specially created gift packages.

"Guests will enjoy all the distinctive luxury of a Crystal cruise at one of
our lowest fares of the year. We're making it more accessible to treat your
mother, wife, sister or special friend," says Adam Leavitt, Crystal Cruises'
vice president, marketing.

For added enrichment, this Panama Canal/Caribbean cruise features the
Crystal Wine & Food Festival which brings aboard guest chefs and wine experts
for tastings, demonstrations and gala chef's dinners.

At 50,000 tons carrying only 940 guests, the elegant vessel is one of the
most spacious ships afloat and offers expansive decks, exquisitely-appointed
staterooms (most with private verandahs), a wide variety of entertainment
lounges, flexible gourmet dining, a luxurious spa and Caesars Palace at Sea
casino.

Crystal Cruises' Mother's Day Special begins at $1,995 per person, double
occupancy.
