As you step foot on a Crystal ship, you are stepping into a world of luxury, inclusivity, and elegance that will bring you around the globe in comfort and style. You will be taken care of at the highest level by exceptionally trained staff that offer world-class service to each and every passenger onboard. One aspect of a Crystal Cruise that truly takes the experience to a whole new level is the onboard dining.
Every specialty restaurant on a Crystal Cruise ship is included with your cruise fare, allowing you to enjoy upgraded and fine dining on a complimentary level. From formal and smart dining rooms, to casual eateries and cafes, Crystal Cruises is dedicated to bringing you the highest quality menus and cuisine, inspired by the flavors of the world.
Tastes Kitchen & Bar
The perfect place to enjoy a casual lunch is in Tastes Kitchen & Bar. The space sits at the top of the ship, on a covered patio that used to house an indoor pool, but was converted to several unique dining spaces during a recent renovation. You will feel as though you are lost in a garden terrace, dining on regionally inspired tapas-style cuisine.
The sophisticated setting in an elegant juxtaposition to the day-casual dress code; allowing you to drop by at any point throughout the afternoon to enjoy elevated dishes as well as delicious cocktails from the nearby bar.
