b. While traveling with A&K Travel Group subsidiary companies:

A&K Travel Group processes Guest Personal Data when you interact with us offline to provide you with the A&K Travel Group service. Additionally, when you use electronic or RFID technologies, or use on-premise digital services, we may collect browsing information including but not limited to, search history, server logs, application logs, browsing data, first-party cookies, third-party cookies, pixel tags and clear gifs. In addition, we may process this data in combination with other data that we collect and/or create as necessary in connection with certain legitimate business interests in (i) verifying your identity for authentication and security purposes; and (ii) to prevent fraud.


We may operate CCTV or security cameras on properties operated or owned by A&K Travel Group. In connection with these systems, we may collect and/or create Guest Personal Data as necessary in connection with certain legitimate business interests, such as (i) ensuring the safety and security of guests and employees; (ii) recording and investigating health and safety incidents; (iii) keeping track of guests and employees for safety and commercial purposes; and (iv) creating aggregate data.

In order to understand our guests’ preferences, and better recommend bespoke products and services we may create a “Guest Profile” by linking together and analysing Guest Personal Data collected in the following circumstances: (i) when you purchase our products and services; (ii) when you travel with companies owned or operated by A&K Travel Group; (iii) when you use our digital services; (iv) through cookies and other tracking technologies on A&K Travel Group websites; (v) when you contact us or submit information to us; and (vi) through feedback and surveys.


During our interactions we may collect special categories of personal data about you as detailed below. This may be because you provide us with the information or because it is associated with a group you travel with (please see example below). It may also be because we need to know certain personal data about you, such as health information, so that we can provide you with the best possible service and advise you whether a trip is suitable for you. For example:

If we receive a group booking from a specific religious association, we will indirectly collect details of religious beliefs of the individuals within the group booking. The same can be said for groups from political associations and trade union associations.

If a guest asks whether certain medication is allowed to be taken into certain jurisdictions, that inquiry could disclose certain medical conditions.

dietary requirements (which may disclose your health information or religious or philosophical beliefs);

You are not under any obligation to consent to us processing or disclosing your sensitive information in the manner described above and in our Notice. However, if you don’t agree then we won’t be able to process your data or transfer your data to our suppliers. As you will appreciate, it would then be difficult to actually provide your holiday because making your holiday arrangements involves processing your data and transferring your data to our suppliers in order that they can provide the services.

If you have concerns with us processing or transferring your data then please discuss that with us at your earliest convenience in order that we can book your holiday and provide you with the necessary services.

If you are happy to consent to our use of your sensitive information, you will also be able to withdraw your consent at any time. However, if this operates to prevent us from providing your holiday, we will be required to treat the withdrawal of consent as a cancellation of your booking and the cancellation charges in the Booking Terms and Conditions for your booking will become payable, as applicable.


IV. THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING GUEST PERSONAL DATA

In most instances, we process Guest Personal Data under the legitimate interests of providing you products and services, as well as running our business (for example, we record inbound and outbound calls to fulfill our legitimate interests of ensuring our customer support team is trained appropriately and to address any concerns you might raise).

Guests will receive ten percent (10%) off the cruise-only fare. Full payment of the reduced fare will be due at time of booking. Crystal’s standard cancellation terms apply.

At Fuerte Amador, gateway to Panama City, take the chance to see the great Miraflores locks through which the ships squeeze onto this narrow waterway. Our final port of call is Puerto Caldera on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

Puerto Caldera to San Diego

Puerto Caldera in Costa Rica marks the start of our exploration of the Pacific coast of Central America. First stop Nicaragua, where San Juan del Sur offers a gateway to some serious surfing – jump on a board, or just watch from the sands. Then El Salvador, at Acajutla, offers a good cup of coffee from one of the country’s famous plantations, before we relax for a day at sea. It’s time to cross the border to Mexico for the palm-fringed beaches of Zihuatanejo, where dolphins and sea turtles play in the waves, and Manzanilla, beloved by anglers for the marlin fishing in its waters. Laid-back Puerto Vallarta, a city known for giving a warm welcome to members of the LGBTQ+ community, comes next, followed by a couple of days onboard ship as we make our way across yet another border to the U.S. and our final destination, San Diego. Why not raise a glass of craft beer to your trip, chosen from the 100-plus breweries in this cool Californian city.

Seward, Alaska to Vancouver

The sleepy town of Seward is the launchpad for this voyage, which travels southwards down the dramatic west coast of Alaska and Canada. Start with a bang at the awe-inspiring Hubbard Glacier, where colossal ice chunks calve into the sea, as we sail to historic Sitka, Alaska’s original capital. Next, we set a course for Icy Strait Point, a jump-off for some of the most exhilarating outdoor adventures in North America. Then it’s on to the historic town of Ketchikan before we enter Canadian waters, passing the pine-fringed islets of British Columbia and following the breathtaking Seymour Narrows down to Vancouver.

Vancouver to Seward, Alaska

We hug the Pacific Coast of North America as we sail from Vancouver to Seward via Ketchikan. Travel up the Seymour Narrows on a course between mainland Canada and the Haida Gwaii archipelago, up to Alaska through landscapes of forested islands, great glaciers and dramatic fjords. See the totem poles of Klawock, get adventurous in Icy Strait Point and cruise past the epic Hubbard Glacier before docking in Seward, where icefields, mountains and incredible wildlife await.

San Diego to Guayaquil

Life’s a beach in San Diego, but we’ve places to go. So we’ll quit this laid-back city and head over the border to Mexico and our first port of call, Ensenada, a culinary hub with a hinterland of wineries. Next, we’ll spend a day sailing to the popular vacation resorts of Cabo San Lucas and LBGQT+ friendly Puerto Vallarta, before watching the world go by en route to Acajutla, in El Salvador, where a coffee from one of the country’s famous plantations is a must. We tick off another Central American country, Nicaragua, at our next port, San Juan del Sur, gateway to some serious surfing. Now Costa Rica comes into view at Puntarenas, where there is seafood to dine on and nature to admire further inland. South America is our quest on a day at sea, which we reach at Manta in Ecuador, renowned for its wickerwork, an obvious souvenir. Our final port is Guayaquil, gateway to the Galapagos Islands.

Guayaquil to San Juan

Sail along one of the world’s manmade wonders, the Panama Canal, on this cruise departing Guayaquil. We’ll relax into life onboard with two days at sea, crossing from South to Central America at Fuerta Amador for Panama City, where we’ll spend two nights. That’s plenty of time to explore its streets, old and new, venture to its fringe of beaches and jungle – and, of course, buy a Panama hat. You could also take a closer look at the canal locks at Miraflores, through which gigantic vessels squeeze onto the canal. It’s time now for our ship to slip along the narrow channel built more than a century ago to push back nature for 52 miles to join the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. At the other end, we make for Cartegena, on the coast of Colombia, with a beauty of an old city that is recognised by UNESCO. Then we cross the Caribbean to two equally historic cities, Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and, via the holiday playground of Punta Cana, our final port, San Juan in Puerto Rico.

San Juan to New York

We’ll loop the Caribbean loop then head north on this cruise, departing San Juan in Puerto Rico. A sequence of small islands maps a charming route for us, first to the French-speaking side of Saint Martin at Marigot, with its gingerbread-style houses. The natural highs of Dominica beckon, a little island clad in rainforest, when we call at Roseau. Then buzzy Bridgetown delivers us to powder sands that celebrities love to bask upon. The soaring twin volcanic cones, the Pitons, signal we are approaching Saint Lucia, where we will overnight at Castries. St John’s, Antigua, comes next – don't miss the carefully preserved Georgian dockyard that tended Admiral Nelson’s ships. Time to beach-bar hop in Jost Van Dyke, in the British Virgin Islands, before discovering more about the Dominican Republic in the museum at Samana. White sands melt into turquoise seas at Grand Turk on Turks and Caicos, just time to wiggle your toes in the surf before we spend two days sailing to our final port, New York City.
