CRYSTAL Cruises spent the weekend showing off a $15 million new look for Crystal Symphony which sailed into Sydney Harbour alongside sister ship Crystal Serenity.
The dual visit gave Crystal a chance to celebrate in style, with passengers on both ships’ current world cruises invited to an exclusive white-themed party at Sydney’s Town Hall on Sat.
For the line’s regional head Karen Christensen, it was also an opportunity to show the industry the next level of luxury now offered after Crystal Symphony’s dry-dock and refit in Oct.
“By the end of the weekend we’ll have shown 150 members of the trade around Crystal Symphony,” Christensen said.
“Having two ships in town, we couldn’t have a better opportunity to show them off and show our support for the trade,” she said.
During last year’s dry dock, Crystal Symphony underwent extensive changes, including the reconfiguration of an entire deck to create 12 new Seabreeze Penthouse Suites and 28 new Seabreeze Penthouses, each with private verandahs.
Other changes included several redesigned public areas and dining venues, which will be added to Crystal Serenity when she undergoes a similar refit later this year.
