Crystal Cruises Military & Veteran Discount

How the Crystal Cruises Military Discount Works

Since Crystal has no military rate of its own, the savings come from us. We price your suite at Crystal's lowest available fare, apply any promotion Crystal is running at the time, and then take at least 5% off the cruise fare. Taxes, port fees and air are not included in that 5%.

You will not see these savings on Crystal's website. Contact us with the voyage and suite you are considering and we will quote it with the military savings built in. On select sailings our travel consortia memberships can also add onboard credit or other amenities.

• Taken off Crystal's lowest price, not an inflated brochure rate
• Layered on top of Crystal's current promotions
• Available for companions in separate suites

Who Is Eligible

Active duty members, military retirees and all veterans qualify. So do all military and veteran spouses, including surviving and divorced spouses. Relatives and friends who travel with an eligible guest get the same savings in their own suites.

We confirm eligibility with you before booking. If your situation is unusual, just ask.

Crystal Today

A&K Travel Group, the parent of Abercrombie & Kent, acquired the Crystal brand in 2022 and relaunched it with its two ocean ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, after extensive refurbishments. Both ships now carry fewer guests than before, with more space and more suite-style accommodations.

Crystal has also announced a new ship, Crystal Grace. Ask us for the latest details if you are interested in its early sailings.

Crystal's strengths are polished service, a high ratio of crew to guests, and a dining program that ranks among the best at sea. It suits travelers who want classic ocean cruising done with care rather than an expedition or yacht-style experience.

What Crystal Includes

Crystal is an all-inclusive line, so the fare covers far more than a cabin and buffet.

• Dining in the ships' restaurants
• Premium wines, spirits and other beverages
• Gratuities
• Butler service in every suite
• Wi-Fi
• Enrichment lectures and entertainment

Booking Crystal With Military Cruise Deals

Military Cruise Deals has been booking military and veteran families since 2001. We are military-family-owned, rated A+ by the BBB, and have served more than 50,000 customers with over 925 five-star reviews. Mitch, Kevin and Hope handle every booking personally, and we answer seven days a week.

We charge no booking, change or cancellation fees, although Crystal's own cancellation penalties still apply. Payments are processed by Crystal, never by us. After booking, we track your fare until final payment and request a re-fare if it drops, unless the fare type is non-refundable and cannot be changed.

If you already booked directly with Crystal, you can usually transfer the reservation to us before final payment. You keep the same ship, suite and booking number, and we apply the military savings where the line allows it.
