LOS ANGELES, September 4, 2003 -- Those who wish to relish unparalleled dining at sea while enjoying traditional Jewish cuisine may now experience the “World’s Best” cruise line. CrystalCruises’ Kosher-style Dining Program offers a broad range of kosher selections which are prepared according to traditional recipes.

“We pride ourselves on providing not only unparalleled service but varied cuisine options for all of our Passengers,’’ says Toni Neumeister, Crystal’s vice president of food and beverage operations.

CrystalCruises strives to accommodate the special needs of those Passengers for whom kosher cuisine is important. In addition to vegetarian and fish entrées, CrystalCruises offers kosher meats, poultry and prepared dishes that can satisfy the kosher observance of most Passengers. Although CrystalCruises, CrystalSymphony, and CrystalSerenity do not have a separate kosher kitchen, all Crystalchefs, kitchen personnel, and dining room staff have been trained in kosher food preparation, handling and serving. Only kosher pots, pans and utensils will be used, and all plates, silverware and glassware will be washed separately. A selection of white and red kosher wines is also available, as well as a wide selection of desserts.

CrystalCruises requests that Passengers who wish to dine kosher-style provide at least 90 days advance notice prior to sailing. In addition, CrystalCruises will make every effort to respond to more individual dietary needs.

Available aboard its luxurious CrystalCruises, CrystalSymphony and CrystalSerenity anywhere in the world in 2003, CrystalCruises kosher-style menu features the following choices:

Due to limited provisioning resources, the number of Passengers per cruise who may partake in the Kosher-Style Program is restricted to 20. “Kosher-Style” refers to CrystalCruises’ implementation of standard Kosher guidelines.
