Crystal signs order with Fincantieri for third ocean ship
Luxury line Crystal has inked a deal with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for construction of a third ocean ship.
It is the option granted under the earlier order announced this summer.
Similar to its sister ships, the 690-passenger, 61,800-gross-ton ship will feature a promenade extending through the whole ship’s perimetre, similar to those on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.
The new ship will house a variety of dining options, including Umi Uma, the only Nobu at sea as well as Beefbar.
Crystal will continue offering exclusive entertainment along with Casino de Monte-Carlo which is set to debut on Crystal Symphony this month and Crystal Serenity in December.
The new ship will feature all-suite accommodations with private verandas, including a single occupancy category for solo travelers.
Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group, said, “We’re pleased to bring an expanded fleet to our guests, offering even more ways to explore the world.”
It comes two years after A&K Travel Group acquired Crystal in 2022.
Under A&K Travel Group’s leadership, Crystal has been focusing on enhancing its offerings both at sea and on shore.
