Exclusive new package from Cruise Traveller offers four free nights in five-star hotels – Book by November 19, 2025
Australian small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller, has released an exclusive new package that includes a pinch-yourself voyage in the sunny Mediterranean next June aboard the iconic ship, Crystal Serenity.
Long-revered for its elegance and refined onboard experience and sparkling from a complete A$230 million refurbishment in 2023, the 69,000-ton Crystal Serenity is also one of the most spacious ships in the world, accommodating just 740 guests or around one third of what the average ship of her size would carry.
Cruise Traveller’s unique, new, 16-night land and sea package – ‘Spanish Treasures’ – offers a total of four free nights in two five-star hotels in Barcelona and Lisbon before and after the cruise – for bookings made by November 19, 2025.
The indulgence begins on June 13, 2026, with two free nights in a five-star hotel in the vibrant cultural hub of Barcelona. Guests then board Crystal Serenity for a luxurious, 12-night voyage from Barcelona to Lisbon. The renowned Crystal Serenity boasts spacious teak decks, a large pool and jacuzzis, expansive fitness centre, plush theatres and lounges, attentive service and fine cuisine, and all guests enjoy the luxury of a personal butler onboard.
Destinations during the journey include the medieval castles of Port Vendres and the boutique beach resort of Villefranche-sur-Mer, both on the French Riviera, and the colourful, cliff-hugging houses in Porto Venere – one of the enchanting coastal villages along Italy’s famous Cinque Terre route. Also on the itinerary is Napoleon’s birthplace, Ajaccio, in Corsica, the sun-kissed Spanish islands of Menorca and Majorca with their turquoise coves, sandy beaches and cosmopolitan lifestyle, the charming Spanish Riviera hubs of Alicante and Malaga, and exotic Tangier in Morocco on the north-west tip of Africa.
The voyage ends in the historic city of Lisbon in Portugal where guests will enjoy another two, complimentary nights in a five-star hotel, allowing for plenty of exploration at the end of the red-carpet holiday.
