Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has paired an iconic, luxury cruise ship with free hotel stays in the ancient cities of Athens and Rome as part of a new, five-star cruise and stay package available until September 15, 2025.
Cruise Traveller is Australia’s biggest, small ship cruise specialist, now representing 71 boutique, luxury and expedition cruising operators around the world.
Cruise Traveller’s exclusive, 12-night ‘Islands, Empires and Rivieras’ package in May, 2026, features a Mediterranean cruise aboard the classically elegant, world-famous cruise ship, Crystal Serenity, with complimentary, five-star hotel stays before the voyage in Athens and afterwards in Rome, and personal butler service and complimentary beverages for every guest onboard.
“Cruise Traveller partners with many luxury, small and boutique cruise brands to offer Australians, value-filled holidays all packaged up for them by our expert team of specialists,” said Cruise Traveller Managing Director, Joe O’Sullivan. “Crystal has been a watchword for exceptional cruises for decades. With their spacious, elegant ships recently remodelled, Crystal is now setting a new standard for refined cruising, with warm, intuitive service coupled with a timeless ambience – an experience we at Cruise Traveller are proud to share with Australians through carefully curated, ready-to-book packages like this.”
Cruise Traveller’s new package begins on May 15, 2026, with two free nights in a five-star hotel in Athens, with time to explore the city’s famous sights.
