Crystal Symphony will sail four Australian voyages, in the cruise line’s first Down Under season since its rebirth.
The reborn Crystal Cruises website has gone live today with the initial itineraries of its revamped Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, with the latter ship to head to Australia.
Initial voyages on offer include four Australia & NZ cruises aboard Symphony, which is scheduled to arrive in Fremantle on 06 December.
Symphony will then cruise from Perth to Auckland on a 14-night itinerary leading in at $10,000 per person, before a 15-night Auckland-Sydney cruise ending in the NSW capital on 04 January 2024, followed by a 17-night Sydney roundtrip priced from $13,600.
The first voyage of Crystal Serenity will be a 12-night Marseille-Lisbon cruise departing 31 July this year, while Symphony will return to service on 01 September with a seven-night Athens to Istanbul sailing.
The new website confirms capacity is being reduced on both ships, with Symphony to now carry 606 guests and Serenity 740 following their upgrades which have consolidated some of the smaller former staterooms.
The revelations follow confirmation late last week Tony Archbold will lead Crystal Cruises locally as APAC Vice President of Sales.
