LOS ANGELES, April 19 \/CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM\/ — This summer, Crystal Cruises’ guests on Mediterranean voyages can explore UNESCO declared national parks, the fragile ecosystems of a Spanish nature reserve and various wildlife habitats with Crystal Eco-Adventures. \u00a0Several options ashore highlight Southern Europe’s environmental treasures and natural wonders on dozens of Crystal Serenity voyages from May through October. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“With increasing consciousness of and sensitivity to the environment, travel-savvy guests are seeking more opportunities to become aware of and intimately enjoy the natural beauty of a destination,” says John Stoll, vice president, land operations. <\/span>\u00a0”Crystal Mediterranean voyages offer opportunities to discover some of Europe’s most precious ecological sites and learn about the region’s environmental history.”<\/p>\n

    In addition to these protected environmental attractions, many European Crystal Adventures ashore allow guests to explore the natural beauty of the destinations in a variety of ways, from mountain biking in Greece to paragliding in Spain and scuba diving off the coast of Turkey.<\/p>\n
