In December 2015, Crystal Esprit became the first vessel to sail under the newly expanded Crystal brand, Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises. The 62-guest all-suite, butler-serviced boutique yacht offers travelers a relaxed and intimate atmosphere with the luxury trimmings for which Crystal is known – Michelin-inspired cuisine, high-tech capabilities, high-adventure watersports – including the cruise industry’s first-ever submersible –, and exclusive access to destinations not accessible by large ships.
From the World’s Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line comes the world’s largest and most spacious luxury expedition yacht, Crystal Endeavor™. With a sleek design built to PC6 polar class specifications, she will explore the farthest reaches of Earth. From the Arctic to the Antarctic and far-away lands in between, a voyage of fascinating discovery awaits. Intimate and elegant, Crystal Endeavor™ welcomes just 200 sophisticated travelers with all-suite, butler-serviced luxury – the perfect balance to a voyage teeming with rugged adventure.
