Crystal Cruises has revised their rules and announced recently that they will be banning smoking in all indoor areas of their two ships. The one exception is the Connoisseur Club smoking lounges. Outside smoking will be permitted in a small number of designated spaces.

"We have received considerable feedback and we listened," Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises, said in a statement.  "The majority of our guests worldwide are nonsmoking, and travelers are used to more nonsmoking environments today."

USA Today reported that the policy will begin with its first trips in 2014 and has also eliminated smoking in all cabins, the lobby lounges and its on-board nightclubs, Pulse and Luxe.

The revised policy will begin with the first sailings of 2014 and eliminates smoking in all cabins, the ships' Crystal Cove lobby lounges and Pulse and Luxe nightclubs.

"Crystal notes that many areas of its ships have been non-smoking for several years, including restaurants and main entertainment lounges. Smoking also has been banned on cabin balconies, though not in cabin interiors. Crystal eliminated smoking in ship casinos in 2013," reported USA Today.

Crystal Cruises are well known as being one of the top cruise lines and known for its luxury. "When you make the leap to luxury cruising, you'll enjoy the best of everything - the finest available accommodations, cutting-edge amenities, gourmet dining from the world's most celebrated culinary artists, an elegant array of enrichment programs and activities, and service that prides itself on knowing exactly what you need (and when you'll need it)," states Crystal Cruise's website. "Today's luxury cruise ships offer passengers every posh perk imaginable - from Evian spritzes by the pool to course-by-course in-suite dining - as well as a number of offerings that may never have crossed your mind."

The cruise line currently has two ships in operation--The Crystal Symphony and The Crystal Serenity.
