Crystal reports\u00a0that the 200-passenger\u00a0Crystal Endeavor<\/em>, the first PC6-designated vessel for Crystal Expedition Cruises, remains on track\u00a0to debut in summer 2021.<\/p>\n

Originally sated to launch in August 2020, the ship’s construction was previously delayed after the global health crisis forced a shutdown of the German shipyard, MV WERFTEN, where the vessel is currently under construction.\u00a0Crystal, however, emphasized this week that the German shipyard fully reopened\u00a0this year and said it was pleased with the resumption of work on the vessel.\u00a0The shipyard is owned by Crystal’s parent company, Genting Hong Kong (GHK).<\/p>\n

GHK recently completed a \u20ac193 million\u00a0loan agreement with the German government for the completion of\u00a0Crystal Endeavor<\/em>\u00a0and to support the operations of the shipyard through March 2021.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, GHK announced the termination of the sale and leaseback deal of\u00a0Crystal Endeavor<\/em>\u00a0with the aim to simplify the structure for typical export credit agency (ECA) covering\u00a0post-delivery financing for the ship. “This does not have any impact on the ship\u2019s planned operations,” the line said in a press release this week.<\/p>\n

Encouraged by Progress<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhile we are certainly disappointed that\u00a0Crystal Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>delivery has been delayed, we are encouraged by the progress and dedication of the professionals at MV WERFTEN and are looking forward to introducing this remarkable ship,\u201d said Jack Anderson, Crystal\u2019s interim president and CEO.<\/p>\n

Anderson added that “Crystal Endeavor<\/em>\u00a0will offer new ways for luxury travelers to explore the world, while also delivering “generous public spaces and elegant suites,\u00a0immersive and enriching destination experiences, world-class cuisine and,\u00a0of course, warm and attentive service.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the line noted that the ship’s delivery is on schedule, it also said that it “is currently reviewing the ship\u2019s published summer itineraries.” Previously, it had cancelled all\u00a0Crystal Endeavor\u00a0<\/em>voyages through May 1, 2021. Upcoming itineraries include the Norwegian fjords,\u00a0Scottish isles, France, Spain,\u00a0Portugal,\u00a0Atlantic isles, western Africa, Brazil,\u00a0Argentina\u00a0and Antarctica.<\/p>\n

The 20,000-ton expedition ship will offer luxury travelers a selection of all-suite, all-verandah, butler-serviced guestrooms; Michelin-inspired dining options with six dining venues, including Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa\u2019s Umi Uma & Sushi Bar; the full-service Crystal Life Salon & Spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Expedition-specific amenities and spaces will include\u00a0enrichment areas, designated mud rooms, a helicopter lounge and a seven-person submersible, which\u00a0will take guests to a depth of up to 980 feet\u00a0on certain itineraries.<\/p>\n
