LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's most awarded luxury cruise line has earned more esteemed accolades, as Crystal Cruises took home two 2015 WAVE Awards during last week's black-tie gala celebration with top west coast based travel agents and companies. The awards are given by the editorial team of TravelAge West, a revered agent publication, following careful analysis of product offerings, on-site visits, travel agent surveys and intensive research. Crystal was honored for the second-consecutive year as the "Editor's Pick" as the 'Cruise Line with the Highest Client Satisfaction' and 'Best Onboard Dining,' both for ship categories under 1,100 guests.

Crystal Cruises will be celebrating 25 years of sailing in 2015 with multiple theme cruises bringing back former Crystal captains, as well as current top executives.

"We are thrilled to again be recognized by the esteemed TravelAge West team and, by extension, the travel agent community, as they are our most valuable partners in conveying the acclaimed 'Crystal Experience' to our loyal guests, as well as reaching new travelers," says Crystal President and CEO Edie Rodriguez. "To be awarded for the highest guest satisfaction is particularly sweet, as we strive each day to provide our guests with the most memorable travel experiences possible. Likewise, recognition for our culinary offerings is extremely gratifying, as we continue to raise that bar and earn the praise of even the most discerning luxury travelers."

Indeed, the line's onboard cuisine will impress, both, culinary connoisseurs and novice foodies alike, with specialties from Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa in Silk Road and The Sushi Bar, Italian comfort food in Prego and an eclectic menu of classic and modern cuisine served in the elegant Crystal Dining Room. Delicious casual delicacies, globally inspired by the destinations Crystal visits, can be found throughout the ships.

Crystal's secret to success has never been an actual secret, as the line has earned accolades for its unmatched level of service aboard its ultra-luxury ships, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. Crystal has long focused on personal attention to its guests and meeting – and often exceeding – virtually any wishes and expectations. With its expressed commitment to providing guests the finest travel experience available in not just the luxury cruise industry, but the luxury service industry, Crystal Cruises has earned some of the most prestigious praise in the business for the past 25 years, the most valuable being one of the highest numbers of repeat guests in the industry.
