Crystal Yacht Cruises’ Crystal Esprit (pictured) will embark on its maiden voyage on Dec. 23. The vessel is an extravagantly appointed yacht, delivered to Crystal Cruises by Genting Hong Kong (GHK) and extensively redesigned to reflect the stylish elegance for which Crystal is renowned.

Carmen Roig, senior vice-president, marketing and sales, told PressToday that the new Crystal yacht experience will attract a younger audience and is ideal for charter experiences.

“It’s very intimate, very relaxed and very adventurous, all at the same time,” she said. “This is going to be very exciting.”

The 62-guest, 3,000-tonnage yacht will offer intimate, exclusive and immersive experiences with a boutique ambiance. The all-suite yacht will feature posh, high-end finishes and modern technology and is outfitted with some decidedly extreme features, like a two-passenger submarine, four 10-passenger zodiacs for special excursions and a 12-passenger Wider 32-foot super yacht tender for special boating adventures.

Set for delivery in November, Crystal Esprit marks the debut of the new all-inclusive Crystal Yacht Cruises program, which will sail regional, warm-water itineraries of seven days. The first voyage sails Dec. 23, exploring the Seychelles Islands, followed by an inclusive, post-cruise New Year’s Eve celebration at the Taj Dubai Hotel.

Bookings are now open for Crystal Society members and wait-lists are being taken now for non-Society members. Booking officially opens to all on Sept. 1.
