Crystal Cruises has revealed plans for its Crystal Chairmen��s Cruise, which will take place April 2-8, 2024, aboard the newly renovated Crystal Symphony. The cruise will travel from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Rhodes, Greece.

"The Crystal Chairmen's Cruise epitomizes our commitment to redefining exceptional travel,�� says Cristina Levis, chief executive officer of A&K Travel Group. ��This voyage reflects our dedication to providing our guests with unique and enriching experiences, especially iconic land adventures, that elevate the Crystal brand."

A&K Travel Group acquired the Crystal Cruises brand in 2022; the company also purchased and refurbished two ships, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony.

Travelers who book will get to sail alongside two travel industry executives: Manfredi Lefebvre, the executive chairman of A&K Travel Group, and Geoffrey Kent, founder and chairman emeritus of Abercrombie & Kent.?

The two men will host lectures, discussions and meet-and-greet events; they��ll also attend a 5-day pre-cruise overland trip to AlUla, Saudi Arabia, which has limited availability.

��I��m excited to be aboard Crystal Symphony and share my passion for exploration and adventure with fellow travelers on this remarkable journey,�� says Lefebvre. ��Geoffrey Kent is a true pioneer in the travel industry and, since our partnership began last year with the purchase of Crystal and returning to the water this summer, we are continuing to see tremendous growth for both brands.��

Also joining the sailing will be author Peter Maeck, artist Martin Kaye, musical theater actress Sabrina Aloueche and retired judge Dennis Curran.?

The cruise will include a variety of onboard entertainment options, including cabaret shows, an Elton John tribute show and other productions. Travelers will also be able to take ballroom dance lessons and receive golf tips from a PGA professional.
