Crystal has announced the finalization of an order with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for construction of a third ocean ship. This comes as a result of the option granted under the two-unit agreements announced earlier this summer. The new ship is slated for delivery in 2032.
Similar to its sister ships, the 690-passenger (based on double occupancy), 61,800-gross-ton ship will offer a host of amenities. A standout space will be a promenade extending through the whole vessel’s perimeter, similar to those loved by guests on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity. Culinary enthusiasts can avail themselves of a variety of dining options, including options such as Umi Uma, the only Nobu at sea. Additionally, Crystal will continue its legacy of 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 ships will have all-suite accommodations, with private verandas including a popular single occupancy category, with veranda, designed for solo travelers. This commitment to comfort is complemented by one of the highest crew-to-passenger ratios in this segment, ensuring personalized service and attention to detail.
The announcement comes two years after A&K Travel Group acquired Crystal in 2022, marking a new chapter for the cruise line. Under A&K Travel Group’s leadership, Crystal has been focusing on enhancing its offerings both at sea and on shore and expanding its fleet to provide unparalleled experiences for its guests.
