Crystal Cruises to build two more expedition yachts

Endeavour class expedition ship

NOVEMBER 2, 2016 — Following successful completion of Crystal Serenity’s Northwest Passage voyage this summer, Genting Hong Kong’s Crystal Cruises is adding two more expedition yachts as part of its response to its guests’ interests in adventure travel, and expedition cruising.

It has rebranded its current Crystal Yacht Cruises as Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises. It will operate three new build expedition mega-yachts, including the previously announced Crystal Endeavor.

Built by Genting Hong Kong’s MV Werften shipbuilding subsidiary in Germany, Endeavor Class ships are the world’s largest mega yachts with ice class certification. They offer unique expedition experiences and impress both explorers and shipbuilders alike.

The yachts are described as true all-rounders. Passengers travel on board to the tropics and – thanks to ice class PC6 – the polar regions, too.
