Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Symphony is to return to the Port of Baltimore in Maryland, US, for a third consecutive year.

Arriving at the port this November, the ship will offer an 11-day Colonial Coast & Beyond cruise, which will enable passengers to sail down the East Coast and call at Charleston, Jacksonville, the Caribbean and Miami.

“I’m delighted to hear about Crystal Cruises’ decision to return to the Port of Baltimore,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “The Port of Baltimore is located within one of the largest and wealthiest consumer markets in the country. The cruise terminal’s ideal location right off Interstate 95 makes it an easy drive for anybody coming here from neighbouring states to our north, south and west.”

Last October, the 922-passenger Crystal Symphony underwent a US$20 million renovation and now features a restructured Avenue Saloon, Wimbledon tennis court, a new fitness centre, a renovated bridge lounge, and The Starlite Club. The ship also has a spa, hypoallergenic rooms and Waves & Fantasia, an area for younger passengers.

“We’re excited to showcase our newly re-designed Crystal Symphony to the mid-Atlantic region when we return to the Port of Baltimore this fall,” said Edie Rodriguez, Crystal president. “Baltimore is a great market for us and we’re excited to offer the world’s most luxurious cruise experience to guests who want to minimize their air travel and start their Crystal experience as quickly as possible.”

In 2014, around 200,000 passengers sailed on 89 cruises from the Port of Baltimore, while the cruise industry generated a total of 500 jobs and US$90 million for the local economy.
