Seabreeze Penthouse Suite
The luxury ocean ships from Crystal Cruises, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, will soon undergo the most extensive makeovers in their history.
The popular ships will emerge with spacious new suites and penthouses, new open seating dining venues, and more state-of-the-art technologies.
The additional suites and penthouses will create a more intimate passenger capacity, increasing the guest to space ratio. Crystal Serenity will reduce to 980 total guests (from 1,0270) while Crystal Symphony will drop to 848 total guests (from 922).
Crystal Symphony will go into dry-dock in September 2017 and Crystal Serenity will in October 2018. Dry-docks are expected to take between 4-5 weeks.
