Cristina Levis, CEO of A&K Travel Group, announced during an executive briefing that Crystal Cruises is working with advisors, lenders, and export credit agents to sign a memorandum of agreement with two European shipbuilders for four new ships.

The expansion will include two classic ships and two expedition vessels. Levis expressed pride in the successful relaunch of Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony within a year of acquiring the brand and revealed the ambitious growth plans for Crystal.

Crystal Serenity is set to embark on its inaugural voyage from Marseille on July 31, following a significant refurbishment, while Crystal Symphony will begin its inaugural sailing from Athens on September 1. The goal is to offer exceptional cruising experiences to their clientele.
