Embark on a culinary journey. The ships of Crystal Cruises are filled with countless choices of taste and setting. The Bistro beckons all day long with the sociable charm of a Parisian café where you can enjoy a croissant and a frothy cappuccino for breakfast, or a delectable lunch of international cheese, pâtés and other delicacies. At noon the Lido features fresh pastas, salads and desserts. Other days you'll crave the continental style of the Crystal Dining Room, where the chefs create their own culinary visions of the world. The choices are boundless, the temptations irresistibly refined.

Dining by Moonlight: The Crystal Dining Room is like an act of enchantment: as if you walked into one of Europe's most celebrated restaurants, and found it magically surrounded by the sea. The maître d' welcomes you by name, the headwaiter asks about your day as he leads the way to your favorite table. Here you will admire the precise orchestration of your corps of waiters, the artistry of your tableside flambé, a wine list that is the most extensive and innovative at sea. And in every dish you choose, from Daurade Royale with Slow Roasted Tomatoes and Brown Butter-Basil Sauce, to Hollywood Chocolate Mousse Cake with Vanilla-Cointreau Sauce. You are sure to sense the polish and creative pride of the chefs of Crystal Cruises.

Crystal's alternative specialty restaurants offer soul-stirring new setting and gourmet discoveries. Prego embraces you in Mediterranean warmth, with the panache and authentic regional flavors of Italy. Kyoto offers sushi, seafood teppanyaki and other classical Japanese cuisine with a Western touch. Each of the dining venues is a unique culinary and cultural scene, where the special magic of a fine dinner can occur.

Wine & Food Festival: A world of wonderful culinary creations, guest chefs and splendid vintages. Be on hand as the world's finest chefs and wine experts converge on Crystal Cruises for the popular Wine & Food Festival cruises. Reinvigorate mind and body in Crystal's state-of-the-art spa and salon. The Crystal Spa calms you with the natural colors, textiles and surfaces of a peaceful Feng Shui environment. Crystal Cruises offers the only spa at sea whose practices are in accordance with Feng Shui, the ancient practice of balance and harmony. Indulge in a soothing spa massage, rejuvenate the senses with aromatherapy, or simply get away from it all through aquameditation. Once you've been caressed with a seaweed wrap, hot-mud treatment or a French spa hand-and-foot treatment, you'll understand why Crystal Spa was awarded "Best Cruise Line Spa" in 2002 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine. The Crystal Cruises Creative Learning Institute brings out the best in you - by bringing you the best instruction available at sea. The Institute expands upon Crystal's commitment to enrich mind, body and spirit by extending new opportunities for personal growth.
