Luxury Is...

Luxury is the state of great comfort. Crystal Cruises tagline is: “Where luxury is personal.”

· Bicycle vs. Car

Both methods can give you the same outcome but one is the preferred method. You would much rather take a car to work than a bike, or at least I would.

· Home vs. Salon

Luxury is your ahh moment. It can be compared to getting a fresh cut and color in your favorite salon. You have a better experience when you go to a salon rather than using a box dye in your bathroom or your clippers from 20 years ago.

· Old vs. New

We all know the feeling of opening a new phone and seeing the glorious protective piece of plastic that covers it. The satisfaction you feel from peeling back the plastic could be compared to luxury travel. When you get a used phone you don’t get to pull away the plastic. With luxury travel you can pull the plastic away on your own and discover long awaited experiences.

· Ordinary vs. Spectacular

We all know changing your sheets is big task and typically takes all day. But the feeling of peace and accomplishment you feel afterwards is unmatched. In the same sense, on a cruise you can have a normal cabin or you can take it up a notch and get a suite or a stateroom with a veranda and butler to change your sheets for you. Why have ordinary when the spectacular is just as attainable.

· Online vs. Travel Advisor

Online booking may seem perfectly fine until issues arise. Booking your next adventure with a travel advisor will turn your trip into a luxury experience. A travel advisor can add the special touches that would not be accessible otherwise.

Luxury doesn’t have to be shiny black cars and endless champagne. Luxury can be the difference between driving and flying. You don’t need to go all out to have an amazing adventure but sometimes it can make a world of difference. Sometimes all you need to do is take advantage of your cruise ship or hotel amenities.

Luxury doesn’t have to be some big lavish, over the top two-month trip around the globe in a yacht. Luxury is different for every person so don’t let it scare you. Spice it up!
