Crystal Cruises has made it official, signing an agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to build two classic ocean-going ships. The first 690-guest ship is expected in the Spring of 2028, with the second delivery to be announced.
The new ships, similar in size to Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, will feature a host of amenities and innovative designs, ensuring unparalleled comfort and indulgence, says Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group,
“The interior design will feature the most precious marbles, Italian fabrics and natural materials, offering a level of research and sophistication typically reserved for high-end private residential properties. And, we are pleased to be partnering on this project with prominent architectural firms Studio Ibsen run by architect Adriana Granato and Studio Gem headed by architect Giacomo Mortola and naval engineer and architect Lorenzo Mortola who led the beautiful refurbishments in 2023.”
A range of culinary options will include Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea as well as recently announced Beefbar. Additionally, Crystal will continue its legacy of offering exclusive entertainment options including a sophisticated casino with a new partner, Casino de Monte-Carlo.
The new ships will feature all-suite accommodations, with private verandas including our popular single occupancy category designed for solo travelers. They will also feature one of the highest crew-to-passenger ratios in this segment, ensuring personalized service.
More details are coming soon.
