Crystal River Cruises Entertainment

Although Crystal's river ships are significantly smaller than their ocean-cruising counterparts, they still pack a plethora of onboard entertainment options. From live piano music and cabaret-style shows to talented opera singers and jazz musicians, you'll be entertained by world-class performers throughout your journey. For full destination immersion, enjoy captivating lectures from local historians and professors as they share insights regarding the destinations you'll visit. Afterwards, when the curtain falls, it's time to take the show up to the top deck to enjoy a drink at the "pop-up" Vista Bar while the stars twinkle overhead. Continue below to learn about the entertainment available aboard Crystal River Cruises.

Live Entertainment
You'll be swept away by the live music emanating out of the piano bar cove, featuring classic tunes and cabaret performances. Plus, when your Crystal river ship remains docked into the evening or overnights in port, the team will invite high-caliber local artists to perform onboard. These acts could include string trios, jazz musicians, talented soloists and more!
 

Enrichment
Your destination and cultural discovery doesn't end when you board your Crystal river ship. In fact, Crystal River Cruises spotlights the unique cultural and historical aspects of your destinations with a series of enriching guest lectures and presentations from local professors and historians.
 

Crystal Signature Events
One of the hallmarks of every Crystal river cruise is the Crystal Signature Event, an intimate—and complimentary—live regional event that combines exclusive access to a special landmark venue with a remarkable musical performance.
 

Wine and Culinary Discovery
What could be better than a chef-led culinary class that takes place onboard while you sail along some of Europe's most scenic rivers? How about a wine tasting of regional wines, led by none other than the onboard sommelier?
 

Crystal on Broadway
Select sailings feature multiple Tony Award-winning Broadway producer Kevin McCollum, who brings onboard world-class cast members and creative experts from highly-acclaimed shows. Contact your cruise consultant at 1-800-377-9383 to learn more.
 

Vista Bar
Enjoy a refreshing libation at the open-air Vista Bar located on the top deck of each ship. This state-of-the-art "pop-up" bar can even be lowered when your river ship sails beneath smaller bridges!
 

Palm Court
Crystal River Cruises' Palm Court, which takes its name from the observation lounges aboard the line's ocean-cruising counterparts, is your go-to hangout on board. As the location for most onboard entertainment, the Palm Court quickly comes to life as guests congregate at this social hub to discuss the day's adventures and enjoy live performances over drinks.
 

Complimentary WiFi
Enjoy free unlimited WiFi internet throughout the ship, or retreat to your suite for complimentary access to on-demand movies, a music library and a host of other high-tech amenities. Plus, each suite features an iPad with access to a personalized selection of daily newspapers.
