A couple of years ago, Crystal Cruises debuted their service called Private Adventures. It's done good business for those customers who wanted something special ashore and were willing to pay for it, but it seems like this year the secret got out and many more passengers are discovering this indulgent option for the first time - and finding they don't want to cruise without it.
That's pushing the dedicated unit at the luxury line to record numbers. From January through August of this year, Crystal's land programs team has arranged 55% more Private Adventures than they did in all of 2006.
Details appear in today's edition of Cruise News Daily.
