Crystal Cruises
Overall score: 92.7
Best for: Activities, Design
Ship size: Medium (500 to 1,500 passengers)
All aboard: The easily-bored and the hard-to-impress
Design varies deck by deck on the two ships of Crystal Cruises, but contemporary accommodations have sliding-door verandas and Frette bathrobes; some have Bang & Olufsen sound systems. "The mattress was so good we bought one when we got home." Excursions include explorations of Petra and off-roading on Mount Etna. Among the "excellent onboard activities" are complimentary language lessons and tai chi. At the Vintage Room's Wine Makers' Dinners, up to 14 people partake in food paired with rare wines. "This is easily the most pleasant way to see the British Isles."
