IN - SUITE DIGITAL DIRECTORY Please refer to your In - Suite Digital Directory for important information and services aboard , such as Ship ' s Information , Crystal Adventure booking requests , and Port Maps . Your In - Suite Digital Directory is located on top of your nightstand in your suite .
BASEL EARNS STRAIGHT A ' S IN ART AND ARCHITECTURE THIS MODEST - SIZED CITY ' S CREATIVITY GETS NOTICED ' ROUND THE WORLD . In Vienna , it ' s music and pastries . In Milan , fashion and design . In Bruges , it ' s cobblestones and canals . In Cannes , film and yachts . And in Edinburgh , it ' s castles , woolens and whiskey .
Every European city of note has things it does best , signature aspects for which it is universally admired . And Basel is no exception : here , the incontrovertible claims to fame are art and architecture - with a definite accent on the contemporary . In fact , the entire world is affected by ripples that emanate from Basel ' s outsized profile in these esthetic arenas .
INTERNET SERVICE We are pleased to provide satellite Internet access via Wi - Fi service for our guests . All onboard Internet traffic travels from the River Yacht to a satellite before returning back to earth to load web pages . While aboard , there is no local high - speed Internet provider such as you would have at home . We hope you understand that it takes a little more time as web pages travel across the extra miles for you . IN ADDITION , PLEASE NOTE THE INTERNET AND TV SATELLITE COVERAGE CAN BE INTERRUPTED WHILE WE SAIL THROUGH NARROW LOCKS AND UNDER BRIDGES .
Truth be told , that impact is sometimes more like a tsunami . Case in point : the now - legendary annual phenomenon known as Art Basel . For one week each year , the city is positively inundated by hordes of top international gallerists , museum curators on the prowl for acquisitions , and well - heeled private collectors looking to expand their holdings - a sea of art pilgrims gathered for a massive , star - studded celebration and marketplace of the best of the best in Modern and emerging art . Thousands of paintings , sculptures , photographs , installations , and multimedia and performance works are on display within some 300 , 000 - sq . ft . of exhibition space ( itself created by renowned architects ) . All the most famous names are amply represented - from Picasso , Miró and Klee to Koons , Warhol and Hirst . Asking prices for some of the works are so stratospheric they are not only not shown but are whispered delicately for fear of being overheard - presuming you have the gumption to ask .

CRYSTAL
RIVER CRUISES
The New York Times and London ' s Telegraph have labeled this trendsetting fest " the Olympics of the art world , ” while Vogue calls it " the world ' s most beautiful temporary museum . " Art Basel ' s runaway popularity and sales success have spawned sister shows in Miami and Hong Kong , each now drawing its own huge throngs , as jet - setting collectors scramble to soak up two additional weeks of unbridled art joy each year .
Needless to say , this all has had the residual effect of making Basel a year - round art gallery and museum destination par excellence . It would take weeks to take it all in . And , quite a few of the buildings in which this city ' s collections are presented are themselves significant works of art - of the glass , steel , wood , brick and cement variety .
From the elegant Renzo Piano - designed Fondation Bayeler , to the Museum Jean Tinguely building designed by postmodern brick - master Mario Botta , to the provocative and unusual Schaulager museum / warehouse designed by Basel - based superstar architects Herzog & De Meuron ( more about them in a minute ) - this city is absolutely studded with world - class architectural showplaces for its creativity .
In some instances , the roster of structural heavy - hitters involved is so deep , they ' re practically jockeying with each other for your attention . Like on the campus of the Vitra Design Museum in Basel ' s German - side suburbs , where Frank Gehry ' s breathtaking main building shares the spotlight with structures by Zaha Hadid , Tadao Ando , Nicholas Grimshaw , Alvaro Siza , Buckminster Fuller , and Herzog & de Meuron . The sublime result is a visual feast for the design - inclined .
But this town ' s love affair with architecture doesn ' t stop with its museums . Basel is also home to the headquarters of several key players in the global pharmaceutical , chemical and banking business - names like Novartis , Hoffmann La Roche , Ciba , and UBS . Each seems to have surrendered to the prevailing local passion willingly , commissioning top - tier architectural firms to design their corporate campuses and soaring towers ( including the tallest in Switzerland ) .
More than a fair share of those commissions has been earned by a single firm : Herzog & de Meuron , the hometown heroes who ' ve been making huge waves in the design world for decades . Even if you don ' t realize you ' ve seen their work , you ' ve likely seen it .
Remember the huge , organic - looking " Bird ' s Nest " stadium where the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games took place ? Herzog & de Meuron . Been to the ground - breaking Tate Modern , or Tate Modern 2 , along London ' s Thames bank ? Herzog & de Meuron .
Maybe you ' ve toured the striking Parrish Art Museum in the Hamptons , shopped Prada Tokyo , visited the foliage pillared Perez Art Museum Miami , or parked in the seriously - cool open - air garage footing Lincoln Road in South Beach ? Yep , all Herzog & de Meuron - along with an impressive number of other prize - winning , eye - catching , imagination - sparking H & de M buildings popping up in cities all over the world . Here in Basel , their work is seldom far from where you are . But then , wherever you are within this " City of Culture , " you ' re never far from wonderfully designed art and architecture . It ' s the Basel trademark .

CRYSTAL RIVER CRUISES
DIP INTO SWITZERLAND ' S MULTICULTURAL FONDUE POT BASEL , WHERE THREE COUNTRIES MEET ALONG AN ESPECIALLY ELEGANT BEND IN THE RIVER
The Swiss are well - known for their polished professionalism and reserved demeanor . Impregnable bank vaults , on - time trains , and heirloom timepieces come to mind . But here in Basel , all that famous orderliness relaxes ( a bit , anyway ) into a more liberated , adventurous character . Must be the influence of France and Germany , which both house sections of this multi - geographic city on the Rhine . Not to mention the bohemian undertones of a gallery scene that ' s second to none - and an annual Art Basel event that sets the standard for the world , attracting museum curators and art - collecting glitterati in droves .
Home to Switzerland ' s oldest university ( 1460 ) , this city has been a safe haven for scholars , writers , artists and philosophers ever since - yet today ' s Basel infuses its rich historic patina with some of the most forward - looking architecture in all of Europe . The result is quite the urban mélange - as Old Town ' s medieval market squares and soaring Gothic Munster cathedral share the skyline with bold new structures conceived by contemporary masters like Renzo Piano , Zaha Hadid , Mario Botta , Frank Gehry , and hometown superstars Herzog & de Meuron - responsible for groundbreakers like the Tate Modern in London and the oddly magnificent " Bird ' s Nest " Olympic stadium that became the landmark for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games . Threading its graceful way through the heart of it all , the River Rhine flows as it has for millennia . The city ' s six bridges unite neighborhoods each flavored with their own character - from cobbled - yet - formal Grossbasel stacked scenically along the south and west bank , to the mellow riverside cafés and hopping bar scene of Kleinbasel across on the German side .
Exploring Basel on foot is an ideal way to delve into its diverse personalities ; even a brief amble can be amply rewarding . In Old Town , browse the colorful central market square at Marktplatz , where vendors offer up artisanal foods , flowers , and local produce daily . Here , too , Basel ' s gilded , deep crimson Rathaus ( town hall ) lords over the setting with its 16th - century clock tower , gargoyles aplenty , and mural - clad courtyard .
Capture fabulous Rhine views and snap a formidable selfie in front of the hilltop Munster , Basel ' s trademark twin - spired cathedral dating back to 1019 . Along stately Theaterstrasse , encounter an elaborate 1977 fountain contraption crafted from scrap metal parts by famed Swiss kinetic sculptor Jean Tinguely . To see more of his very curious work , board a quaint wooden cable ferry - powered by little more than the Rhine ' s current - and cross over to the opposite bank , where the Museum Tinguely showcases a substantial collection of his quirky , mad - scientist - style sculptures .
If you ' re up for something a bit intrepid , soak up the true atmospheric character of old Basel by wandering up into some of Grossbasel ' s tiniest , winding side streets . But be prepared for a cardio workout : they ' re occasionally steep , and always photogenic . Alternatively , if shopping is more your sport of choice , you ' ll find the requisite big names and luxe labels along the Freie Strasse - but don ' t miss out on visiting the smaller , sophisticated boutiques arrayed along Spalenberg , near the university . There ' s joy to be found year - round at Johann Wanner Christmas House , a storied shop in this area that ' s delivered to Popes , Presidents , and Queens . And if your retail tastes run to the less traditional , seek out the shops and galleries along trending St . Johanns - Vorstadt , closer to the river and further from the status quo .
In the quiet St Alban Quarter , hidden away between the Rhine and the city center , a romantic " little Venice " awaits - replete with narrow canals , historic timber - frame and stucco buildings , even a medieval paper mill museum with a working waterwheel .
Tempting cafés and restaurants - from intimate to ambitious - are scattered city - wide to help fuel your wanderings ; this town is all about culinary diversity , and proud to be home to a generous helping of Michelin starred establishments .
That said , no Basel interlude is complete without sampling the Swiss gingerbread treat known as Läckerli . And to quench your thirst like a local - aka a " Basler " - be sure to sip at least one refreshing panaché , a shandy - style mix of lager and lemon soda .
