Crystal Esprit:
Intimate and elegant, Crystal Esprit is truly a boutique hotel on water, welcoming just 62 sophisticated adventurists in all-suite, butler-serviced accommodations. The yacht’s unique size brings guests to the very doorstep of some of the world’s most exclusive shores, allowing for incomparable personalized experiences.
Gorgeous interiors and inviting social spaces are designed to Crystal’s All Exclusive standards of service, space, quality and choices. And while the ambience on board is characterized by Crystal’s unique understanding of luxury, the ultimate indulgence lies in the yacht’s relaxed, unregimented pace.
Hand-selected officers and crew from the award-winning ranks of Crystal Cruises, and from other boutique hospitality venues around the world, fully engage guests in the Crystal Yachting Experience, striking the perfect balance of exacting professionalism and friendly camaraderie.
Imaginative cuisine of Michelin-level envy. Lavish culinary presentations inspired by the flavors of lands explored. Classic specialties and innovative tasting menus. Crystal Esprit’s dining experience is savored in casually elegant, open-seating venues designed to celebrate food, wine and conversation.
Itineraries are designed to complement the yachting experience, often island-hopping to multiple locales in a single day, or remaining at anchor in gorgeous harbors by night. Crystal Esprit offers unrivaled choices for cultured discovery along the Adriatic, and active water play in the Seychelles and West Indies.
Designed for adventurous travelers seeking active and cultured experiences, Crystal Esprit offers a brand-new cruise alternative. Small enough to sail to exotic bucket-list destinations, you’ll enjoy a host of complimentary excursions and amenities in a very intimate and personalized manner.
Unwind and share the day’s adventures with newfound friends at the Cove. Swap stories of discoveries ashore, thoughts on the lecture of the day, or simply watch the world drift lazily by as you gaze out the windows and contemplate tomorrow’s agenda‐unregimented and exclusively yours.
Château Lafite Rothschild. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Krug Clos d’Ambonnay. These are but a few of the extraordinary indulgences that might delight your palate aboard Crystal Esprit. Choose from more than a dozen hand-selected all-inclusive vintages and other complimentary beverages to complement any delicious meal, or to whet your whistle after a busy day of exploration ashore.
The Yacht Club restaurant boasts six-star dining in a casually elegant, open-seating environment. Superb menus draw upon the flavors of the regions explored with selections ranging from revered classics to modern creations. Savor a Michelin star-level experience as only Crystal can deliver.
Ideal for a light breakfast or delectable lunch, the light and airy Patio Café offers a selection of small plates, creative salads, gourmet charcuterie, cheeses and pastries from Crystal’s award-winning chefs.
Adjacent to the Patio Café, step onto the Terrace and enjoy an early morning espresso‐al fresco. Enjoy the warmth of the early morning sun and invigorating sea air as you feast on daily must haves: your caffeine of choice, fresh fruits, and a plethora of fresh-baked delights.
The golden hour begins with libations at the Sunset Bar, a favorite place to gather on the yacht’s top deck. Lounging in Balinese day beds and basket chairs, here is the perfect spot to watch the sun melt into a horizon while at anchor in a gorgeous harbor.
Each yacht suite features a plush king or queen-size bed made up with the finest linens under an elegant tufted leather headboard. Aside from the spectacular views, other appointments include a bedside iPad and digital directory, and two spacious closets custom-designed with integrated lighting.
Yacht suite bathrooms are adorned with stunning, cutting-edge design. A glass-enclosed rain-shower, striking backlit mirrors over double vanity sinks and natural stone flooring elevate this space to the sublime. Plus, Italian fashion house ETRO bath and shower amenities evoke a new place and a new frame of mind‐perfect for new experiences each and every day.
The Owner’s Suite, a generous 515 square feet ‐ twice the size of other suites ‐ provides a lavish environment for relaxing or entertaining fellow adventurers you’ll meet aboard Crystal Esprit. The separate living area hosts a four-seat dining table, sofa, bar, fridge and high-definition satellite TV.
