Crystal Cruises has joined a few of the other cruiselines with a double-digit fuel surcharge. Effective for all bookings made on or after June 23, 2008, passengers will be charged $12 per day, an increase of $5 per day from the $7 fuel surcharge they had been charging.
In a statement, Crystal president Gregg Michel blames soaring oil prices for the change. “We regret any increased charges to our guests, but the fuel costs are escalating far beyond expectations,” he says. “Unfortunately, even this amount will not fully cover the increased costs we are absorbing.”
