LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2007 -- Crystal is announcing "extraordinary savings" on select 2008 sailings.

Crystal's 2008 Value Collection features 11 diverse sailings of 10 to 17 days through the Panama Canal, South America, the Mediterranean, Western Europe, Caribbean and a Trans-Pacific voyage from Los Angeles to Hong Kong.

"Value Collection sailings provide seasoned and first-time Crystal cruisers an opportunity to experience Crystal's award-winning service, space, quality and choices at up to two-for-one savings," says Bill Smith, Crystal's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "Unlike last-minute travel deals, with our Value Collection, travelers can plan a 2008 Crystal vacation in advance and know the value is exceptionally compelling."

Typically offered during shoulder seasons or on repositioning cruises, the Value Collection for 2008 reflects a sampling of closer-to-home to exotic voyages aboard each of the line's luxury ships.
