Description

Crystal Symphony was built at Turku, Finland, and delivered in 1995 to Crystal Cruises, a company for which the sister ship Crystal Serenity also operates. The company offers standard Luxury cruises operating two cruise ships, a shipping vessel and, recently also flights and private tours. Since 2012 Crystal Symphony also offers an all-inclusive formula that allows you to freely enjoy what is served on board.
Crystal Symphony, despite the years, has undergone profound renovations that make it an absolutely valuable ship, also for its openness to the outside and the rather large swimming pool. The Palm Court on the bow, is an observation lounge that you absolutely must not miss, as well as strolling on the outside deck. Elegant and with exclusive dishes is the Waterslide restaurant, which showcase the high level of cuisine of Crystal Cruises, on which the company is recently investing heavily.

El barco es precioso, elegante y lujoso. El servicio de Crystal y todo el equipo fue impecable y nos brindó unas vacaciones maravillosas. La comida siempre fue excelente y variada. Nuestra cabaña era muy cómoda, bien amueblada y, lo más importante, bien mantenida por nuestro asistente de cabina. El entretenimiento a bordo, incluyendo música y juegos, fue satisfactorio, contando con un muy buen grupo de bailarines y cantantes. El itinerario también jugó su papel, con destinos fantásticos que pudimos explorar en profundidad gracias a los tours organizados por Crystal.

Our one-week cruise aboard Crystal Symphony was fantastic. The recently renovated ship is truly beautiful and elegant. The service is excellent, from the welcoming staff to the restaurants and bars. The public areas are spacious and offer various recreational options. The food was great, and besides the quality, there's a variety of culinary options on board to satisfy all tastes. The Sun deck is also very elegant, with a lovely pool and ample relaxation areas. As for the tours, they were well-organized, and we had great experiences immersing ourselves in local cultures.
