About Crystal Serenity
Crystal Serenity is the larger of Crystal's two ships, built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire and named by Dame Julie Andrews in July 2003. After Crystal's former parent, Genting Hong Kong, collapsed, she was arrested in Bahamian waters in February 2022 and sold at auction that June; A&K Travel Group had her refitted in Trieste, and she returned to service on July 31, 2023. The refit cut her capacity to 740 guests in 402 ocean-view suites and rooms, which Crystal says gives her an industry-leading amount of space per guest. Restaurants include Umi Uma, Osteria d'Ovidio, Beefbar and Waterside, and she sails Crystal's world cruises, including a 140-night voyage from San Diego in 2027.
