Description
Crystal Symphony was built in Turku, Finland, and delivered in 1995 to Crystal Cruises, the company that also operates its sister ship, Crystal Serenity. Despite its age, Crystal Symphony has undergone significant renovations that make it a highly appreciated vessel, especially for its open outdoor spaces and rather large pool. The Palm Court, located at the bow, is a must-see observation lounge, as is taking a stroll on the outdoor deck. With award-winning cuisine, the ship offers various dining venues featuring exciting new options such as Osteria d'Ovidio, which serves refined Italian cuisine, and Umi Uma, an innovative Japanese-Peruvian restaurant inspired by the rich culture of Japanese cooking and Peruvian ingredients, created by the legendary Master Chef Nobuyki (Nobu) Matsuhisa. It also includes classic favorites like the Waterside Restaurant, the Vintage Room, and the Bistro. The ship also features a spacious and updated spa, along with expansive suites designed with elegance, renovated during the latest refurbishment in 2023.
