What could be more civilized than afternoon tea? Crystal Cruises offers several tea options to transport you to a different time and place. Revel in the luscious Viennese flavors and elegant ambiance of our Mozart Tea, where staff in period costumes of velvet, brocade and lace cater to your pleasure. You may also choose the white-tie-and-tails tradition of an English Colonial Tea or the charming southern ambiance of Crystal's popular American Tea.

In-Suite & In-Stateroom Dining
Sometimes, after a long day's adventure ashore or a full schedule of activities on board, the very best option for dinner is to order in.

Leave your formal wear in the closet and dine in your bathrobe and slippers, if you wish, with a full selection of delectable dishes from your In-Suite & In-Stateroom Dining menu. You may also order from the evening's menu in the Crystal Dining Room, or request whatever your heart desires-Crystal's chefs will do their best to oblige your tastes. Those guests in Penthouses who order In-Suite & In-Stateroom Dining will be served by their butler, and also have the option of ordering from the specialty restaurants.

Evening Dining
Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity each feature an exceptional variety of evening dining options.

In addition to the main Crystal Dining Room, there are two specialty restaurants and Room Service available 24 hours.
