Luxury meets high-tech features

Accommodating just 200 guests, the yacht will feature generous public spaces, a full-service spa & salon, six restaurants including Nobu Matsuhisa’s Umi Uma, expedition rooms and elegant suites.

Crystal Endeavor’s PC6 designation will enable her to operate in summer and autumn through medium first-year ice. The ship will feature the latest technology, including offshore dynamic positioning capabilities, offering both comfort and safety while exploring the icy waters in the Polar Regions and exotic locations across the globe. The ship will sail a series of charters and special event voyages before it begins its inaugural season in August 2020.

Fares for Crystal Endeavor’s inaugural season begin at $12,749 USD per person and will likely increase for many sailings after the Sept. 30, 2018 “Book Now Savings” promotion ends, Crystal said.
