Crystal Cruises is converting 12 deluxe cabins into eight Penthouses when its 1,080-passenger Crystal Serenity goes for a refit in November. Reducing capacity when others are increasing, as the luxury line proudly proclaims. Well yes. Just.
The ship will come out of the refurb with 72 Penthouses, 32 Penthouses Suites and four Crystal Penthouses, which have to be among the largest and most luxurious rooms at sea.
All you need are deep pockets and you're on your way to cabin heaven, complete with a butler, of course.
