Start your cruise in style.

If you are fed up of queuing at the airport, sitting on planes with your knees up against the chair in front and standing with the masses looking for your suitcase on a conveyor belt then Crystal Cruises have the solution for you.

They have announced the launch of the Crystal Luxury Air fleet. From April 2016 the  Bombardier Global Express XRS jet which is in the Crystal livery will transport up to 12 guests in the height of luxury and will give you the chance to travel to your destination in private, arriving relaxed and refreshed.

The jet is divided into 3 cabins, the first of which allows you to dine and relax. The second cabin is fitted with conference facilities for your business needs and the final cabin is home to a 3 person divan which converts into a large bed.

This jet is the first plane in the Crystal Luxury Air Fleet, next year they are adding a Boeing 777 and then a 787 Dreamliner will follow in 2018.
