LAP OF LUXURY From the very first steps aboard, the difference of Crystal Cruises is evident. The spaciousness of the guest rooms and common areas are surpassed only by the attentiveness of the staff (Crystal Cruises has one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios in the industry), who make it their priority that all guests have a fulfilling stay. Complimentary enrichment programs—including Yamaha keyboard lessons, Berlitz

language classes, golf instruction by PGA pros and destination-based lectures by top scholars—are an appealing option. Guests feel pampered not only at the Feng Shui-designed spa, but in their staterooms as well. Most have verandahs, and all are stocked with 100% Egyptian cotton linens, Frette bathrobes and an array of pillow choices.

Also on the menu: dream theme cruises, such as the gastronomy lovers’ Crystal Wine

and Food Festival, with cooking demonstra-tions by celebrity chefs and wine tastings hosted by expert sommeliers on board.

THE PLACES YOU’LL GO As hard as it is for guests to disembark from their floating oasis, an extraordinary collection of ports of call and onshore activities awaits. The Epicurean Adventure cruise, which starts in London, visits such sites as the wine

This summer, cruise the Mediterranean in style with Crystal Cruises. Exotic destinations reveal fascinating shoreside excursions and onboard educational programs, making it clear why Crystal Cruises was voted “best large-ship cruise line” by Conde Nast Traveler readers for an amazing 14 years. Both Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony set the benchmark for high-seas elegance with well-appointed staterooms, award-winning cuisine and entertainment, grand spas and lounges.

bastion of Bordeaux, France, and Rome, Italy, as well as Gibraltar, where visitors can stand at the summit for thrilling views of Europe and Africa. The Adriatic Getaway gets underway in Venice, where travelers can soak up the Baroque architecture, going on to the site of the first Olympic Games in Katakolon, Greece, and the volcanic island of Santorini, where an eruption preserved this 3,500-year-old village in ash.

The Greek Gods & Gondolas sailing leaves from Kusadasi, Turkey, ventures to Santorini and then to Sarande, Albania, one of the most popular spots on the Albanian Riviera and home to the ancient city of Buthrotum. Split, Croatia, a stop on this expedition, is a veritable trove of archaeological finds, including the legendary Diocletian’s Palace. The Casino Royale cruise commences in Venice and ends in Barcelona, Spain, with stops that include the ancient principality of Monte Carlo,

where the Grand Casino reigns supreme.The Mediterranean Masterpiece

voyage begins in Athens, Greece, and travels to many lands including Rome, Florence, the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos and the summer playground for celebrities: St. Tropez, France. The Black Sea Odyssey covers such cultural ground as Yalta, Ukraine, where visitors can marvel at Vorontsov Palace—built by the same architect who fashioned Buckingham Palace—and Constanta, Romania, which lays claim to Europe’s largest carpet, a work of art handcrafted by a sole artisan.

THE THINGS YOU’LL SEE In addition to the alluring ports of call and onboard activities, Crystal Cruises arranges custom outings that create once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Guests can board a private helicopter, for example, and journey to northern Italy’s spectacular mountain range, Dolomites, or hike to the crater of

the still-active volcano Nea Kameni. For those who love the arts, there is a private two-and-a-half-hour cooking demonstration on French cuisine under the direction of a world-renowned chef. A Turkish excursion affords guests the chance to enjoy traditional Turkish tea and a ritual performance of the popular Whirling Dervishes.

Whether by land or sea, Crystal Cruises features adventures for those who are passionate about world culture and appreciate the finer things in life.

The difference is Crystal clear. Please visit crystalcruises.com or call 877-237-6642.

HOW TO MAKE A REAL MOJITO

Discovering the magic of Peru is all a matter of perspective. for many, the country’s profound beauty is best seen from high on an in-can ruin atop the andes. others first try a taste of Peru from the depths of a delicious, artfully plated dinner in a chic Lima café. still others soak in the serenity of a seaside spot scanning a Pacific horizon. how-ever you experience Peru, make sure you pack your senses...

the 16th century, when the city was founded by conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Among its resident splendors is the Catedral, whose current incarnation dates back to the 18th century.

When it comes to recent contribu-tions to the cityscape, Peruvian architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia has raised the bar skyscraper high. A founding partner of the international firm Arquitectonica with wife Laurinda Spear, he has set the city abuzz with the new Lima Marriott Hotel & Office Building in the Miraflores

district of the city. Shimmering seaward with a blue crystal façade, the five-star hotel, office building and commercial re-tail facility will soon feed into the ultra-modern Larcomar shopping complex via a subterranean walkway.

Brescia’s vision can also be found in the new U.S. Embassy building, which marries the classic with the cutting-edge. Referencing ancient Inca architecture, the building incorporates high-tech, information-age elements. In addition, his design for the Banco de Credito Lima

headquarters boasts a sweeping, state-of-the-art aspect with its dramatic elliptical glass-block atrium that traverses the entire building.

Architect/designer Karim Chaman, director of Obach Antich Architectural Interiors, is bringing a fresh face to Peru with her clean, bright textiles. Using native materials, Chaman designs alpaca wool rugs, cut pile carpets and sheep wool cushions in richly hued geometric or floral patterns that serve as colorful counter-parts to sleek furnishings.

The culinary outlook of Lima is equally inventive. Scena, in Miraflores, promises a bustling scene. On any given night, acrobats or opera singers entertain alongside the vibrant global fare that cov-ers everything from cebiche to risotto. Peruvian architect Jordi Puig’s upbeat creation, Sogo Room, is a noteworthy ad-dition to Lima’s current energy. Merging Spanish and South American influences, and with a nod to the mid-century, the

ambience reflects an international menu. For a spirited cultural immersion,

La Dama Juana gives a new spin to Peru-vian traditions. Also in the Miraflores district, this restaurant hosts traditional dance performances that complement regional fare. The convivial lounge is an ideal spot to sample the country’s signa-ture Pisco Sour—a traditional drink made with grape brandy—and to top off a visit to Lima.

A perfect Peruvian starting point, the dynamic capital of Lima effortlessly blends the colonial and the contempo-rary. From Spanish plazas to striking new restaurants, the city offers much to delight the eye—and the palate.

The renovated 18th-century build-ings that come together in the Plaza Mayor set the tone for a Lima sojourn. The quarter’s Spanish style finds its roots in

{ }Uncork and Enjoy Entertaining at home is every collector’s chance to share a passion. When sharing your cellar with friends:

• Offer a unique wine in addition to those typically served with dinner—a sparkling Cremant du Loire to energize the palate and an ice wine or Banyuls to close the meal.

• Use a clear stemmed glass, preferably with a thin lip. Serving wine means showing it in its best form.

• Temperature is key for experiencing the fullest flavor—whites should be chilled but never ice cold, while reds are best at cellar (not room) temperature, 60 to 68 degrees.

stellar cellarsA Tailor-Made Cellar, designed by Christopher Peacock

n envisioning the ideal wine cellar, custom cabinetry expert Christopher Peacock broke from tradition with a sophis-ticated storage solution that redefines where the “cellar”

should be. The design takes full advan-tage of new technology to allow fine wine storage on any floor of the home, creating a well-appointed space meant for daily appreciation and entertaining with friends. A combination of tall cab-inets, lattice-front racks with glassware and accoutrement display bays made of stained walnut—emblematic of Peacock’s artistry and use of materials—frames a sleek space to hold forward-thinking wines like 2005 Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Malakoff Shiraz or 2005 Chanson Clos des Feves Premiere Cru.

Peacock began his career in London in 1982 and within 10 years, started his own handcrafted cabinetry venture based out of Greenwich, Connecticut. The company now operates four show-rooms including a chic new West Holly-wood location. Many exclusive homes bear the mark of Peacock’s classic understated elegance, including the residences of Toni Morrison, Mariah Carey and the Clintons.
