Crystal Serenity, Venice
Following insolvency in 2022, the Crystal Cruises brand and two cruise ships were bought by A&K Travel Group. Crystal Cruises is now back in business.
Crystal Cruises – Ships & Destinations
Crystal is a premier luxury all-inclusive cruise line, but their ranking with Conde Nast Traveler and by Travel + Leisure has slipped during their period of bankruptcy and ship refits. Crystal Cruises has two 1,000 passenger luxury cruise ships owned by A&K Travel Group, – the Crystal Symphony and the Crystal Serenity. These two ships cruise the world. The ships offer penthouses, suites, verandah and ocean view staterooms.
In 2022 the Crystal Esprit yacht was sold.
