“An important component of travel is understanding the world we explore, and Crystal has long been a leader in providing enlightening onboard experiences with esteemed leaders in various fields that mirror the enriching experiences ashore in each destination,” says Crystal CEO and president, Edie Rodriguez. “Presentations from guest experts always draw in our audience of savvy, inquisitive travelers. The intimate setting aboard Crystal Esprit will only enhance the interactive and conversational atmosphere for a truly informative opportunity.”
The three guest speakers to kick off the enrichment programming on Crystal Esprit will be familiar to Crystal guests who have sailed on the company’s award-winning ocean ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, as they’ve all been featured as part of the Crystal Visions Enrichment program many times, due to the high level of interest from travelers.
