Crystal Symphony by Crystal Cruises

Crystal Symphony is the second ship to start operating for the Crystal ocean brand which was revived in 2023. Following the post-pandemic collapse of former luxury line Crystal Cruises, the 606-passenger vessel was acquired by the A&K Travel Group along with the larger Crystal Serenity. First launched in 1995, Crystal Symphony was refurbished in 2002, upgraded in 2020 and underwent a further extensive revamp at Italy's Fincantieri shipyard ahead of its relaunch with A&K. The new-look ship, carrying fewer passengers than before, will sail on world-wide itineraries starting in September 2023 and offer the familiar upscale experience to the previous Crystal line.
