Crystal Cruises plans a big expansion in the coming years.
According to Christina Levis, CEO of parent A&K Travel Group, four new vessels will join the fleet by 2029.
It comprises two expedition cruise ships and two classic ships.
“Our aim is to have four new builds by the end of 2029. We are dividing ourselves between the refurbishments and the new builds.”
“We aim at starting construction of one expedition ship and one classic ship by Q2 next year.”
Expedition ships will accommodate around 220 passengers while the classic ships will have capacity for 650 guests.
Levis gave the updates during a test launch of Crystal Serenity.
This is the first Crystal ship to relaunch following the takeover by Abercrombie & Kent.
Crystal Symphony is also relaunching.
Crystal Serenity cruises begin soon.
A&K has spent $150 million on a comprehensive refurbishment.
