Hi, & welcome to Cruise Critic,

 

Direct to embarkation port & direct back from disembarkation port is clearly the way to do it, provided that multi-city (aka open-jaw) air tickets are available.

 

If you book a one-way to HK and a one-way from Singapore the cost is horrendous compared to simple return tickets to one or the other.

But multi-city tickets allow you to fly back from a different airport on a return ticket - the fare is broadly halfway between the  two return ticket prices.

You must start & end at the same airport  (eg Madrid) and the two flights must be with the same airline or partner-airlines.

 

We use Skyscanner to research - very user-friendly website

https://www.skyscanner.net/

Above the flight details you'll see you can choose return, one way, or multi-city.

Click on multi-city & away you go.

BTW, on Cruise Critic if you don't enter a thread title, the title defaults to you screen-name. So if you entered a title"Flights to/from Hong Kong / Singapore" or similar you might get more responses.

In addition to JB's excellent information, there is a discussion board dedicated to Crystal cruises:

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/17-crystal-cruises/

 

At the top of that forum there is a "sticky" with information and advice for new Crystal cruisers. Feel free to post any Crystal-specific questions there.

 

Welcome to Cruise Critic and Crystal.

Hi,

Open-jaw ticket is the way to go. I think it will cost you $800 or so per person. If you book one way tickets the price will be very high. Good luck with your hunt for the best ticket! and of course enjoy the cruise!

Just a suggestion for a newby.  Make your thread header be related to your question and not your name.  You might get more responses.

OP: use ITA Matrix website to search best routings/prices. Can't buy tix. But, you'll get the best (most comprehensive) info.

We like Rome2rio app, which gives all the routings.
