Until relatively recently, the Crystal Cruises fleet looked small and simple: two top-of-the range ships offering the ultimate in all-inclusive ocean cruising. But as cruise aficionados know, Crystal embarked on an ambitious expansion in 2015, announcing plans for yachts, river cruises and a fleet of aircraft for private charters and luxury air tours.
Those plans are now well underway. With the Crystal Air Cruises Boeing 777 about to launch, we’ve outlined below the entire Crystal fleet, from private jets at 40,000 feet to submarines hundreds of meters below the ocean.
Here’s a whistle-stop tour of the fleet and a few key facts. Take a look at the graphic for more detail on what we think is the most exciting touring fleet in the world today.
