Cruise & Ferry Interiors 2020

5 6 C urrently under construction at MV Werften Shipyard in Stralsund, Germany, Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Endeavor will provide guests with the perfect combination of luxury yachting and adventure when she sails her maiden voyage around Tasmania and New Zealand later this year. The polar-class expedition vessel is expected to sail the Northeast Passage in her inaugural season in 2021, taking guests through the Pacific Ocean to view sights along the Arctic coastlines of Norway and Russia. Some of the trip’s highlights will include visits to the Unesco World Heritage Site of Wrangel Island and the New Siberian Islands where passengers can see prehistoric relics such as fossils of woolly mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers, and Palaeolithic human tools. “The Northeast Passage is precisely the type of bold expedition for which Crystal Endeavor is designed, with offshore dynamic positioning, zodiacs and virtually all other gear necessary for such intrepid exploration,” said Tom Wolber, president and CEO of Crystal Cruises, when the route was first announced. “In addition to these technical amenities, she’ll accommodate guests in the highest standard of comfort and luxury, even as they travel to the most remote destinations.” Adventure is a theme reflected throughout the ship, with expedition-specific spaces created by British firm AD Associates, including the Expedition Studio and Captain’s GOING WITH THE FLOW AD Associates’ longstanding relationship with Crystal Cruises enabled it to develop the ship’s general arrangement plan and optimise the flow throughout public areas.
