NOTES — Crystal Cruise Lines, most commonly seen as Crystal Cruises, is a Japanese luxury cruise line founded in 1988 and notable for its two medium-sized, high-end ships, Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity, which each hold about 1,000 guests. The line’s original vessel, Crystal Harmony, was retired from the Crystal fleet in 2005.The line is a wholly owned subsidiary of the large Japanese shipping company Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The line has its headquarters in Century City, Los Angeles, California.
Readers of Condé Nast Traveler have voted the line Best Large-Ship Cruise Line for 16 years. Readers of Travel + Leisure have voted Crystal Cruises World’s Best for 15 consecutive years. Both ships travel the world and visit destinations. The luxury cruise line also offers a World Cruise on the Crystal Serenity each year of about 110 days in length.
Crystal Cruises went bankrupt in 2022 and was then purchased by Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group. The ships were refitted and the casino was removed.
