Safety & Security Crystal's ships have been designed with your complete safety in mind, equipped with modern stabilizers and built to the world's highest standards of shipbuilding quality. Our ships comply with all safety codes and pass annual testing inspections with the highest marks. When in port during a cruise, our unique computerized security system takes a reading of each guest's stateroom key card at the gangway to identify you and inform us when you leave the ship and when you return. A government issued photo ID card is also required for boarding and re-boarding. All personal items are scanned by an x-ray machine when boarding to ensure the safety and security of our guests.

Inoculations Requirements for inoculations often change. Crystal Cruises will inform you of the health requirements; however, it is your responsibility to have all required vaccinations with a signed International Certificate of Vaccination. We recommend that you contact your personal physician with any health concerns. Failure to comply can result in refusal of passage by international Customs and Immigration authorities.
