Crystal Cruises | Crystal Symphony

The hallmarks of Crystal – legendary service, abundant space, exceptional quality and unparalleled choices – have earned Crystal Symphony international recognition as one of the top two ships in the world.

Christened in May 1995 by renown actress Angela Lansbury, Crystal Symphony is just as glamourous, respected and admired as her godmother. 20 years on and Crystal Symphony doesn't look a day older than when she was launched - thanks to a comprehensive and consistent refurbishment programme. Key among Crystal Symphony's recent $15 million redesigns is the newly styled Avenue Saloon, one of the ship's most popular venues. The recent redesign marks the culmination of a $65 million, five-year plan to restyle every room onboard. The new Palm Court recalls the glamour-filled Coconut Grove of Hollywood's yesteryear with an ultra-contemporary flair.

Onboard, you will find a country club ambiance, where it is not compulsory to don your top and tails or ballgowns but you can do if you so wish.
