The M/V Cristal spacious accommodation is a major part of what makes sailing on this vessel so memorable. The 480 well appointed staterooms and suites boast stylish furnishings, ample closet space, shower or bathtub and WC, individually controlled air-conditioning, telephone, hair dryer and TV. Many of the 317 Outside Staterooms also feature large picture windows and suites with balconies.

Dining, entertainment and recreation on board the M/V Cristal is of equally high calibre. Fine Mediterranean cuisine is served in the La Scala and Caruso Restaurants, while the Traviata and Rigoletto Cafés offer more casual dining.

Entertainment venues include the two–tiered Metropolitan Lounge for nightly shows and dancing, the Stars Lounge and Disco, the Monte Carlo Casino and the Rendez Vous Lounge with its cosy Romeo & Juliet Bar. A Conference Room is also available for multipurpose use, with fully-equipped meeting facilities.

The Riviera Pool with its retractable glass cover is one of the impressive features of the M/V Cristal. Adjacent are the Wellness Center and Beauty Salon. The Emporium for duty free shopping and the Internet Corner are both conveniently located on the Reception Deck, along with the Shore Excursion Office and the Photo Gallery.
