Detailed answer
Crystal Symphony was built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards at Turku in Finland and entered service in May 1995. It has a gross tonnage of 51,044 and a length of 238 metres. Crystal gives a capacity of 606 guests in 330 ocean-view rooms and suites, each with butler service, and says the ship was refurbished in 2025. Crystal stopped sailing in 2022 when its former owner, Genting Hong Kong, went into liquidation; A&K Travel Group bought the brand and the ship, and Crystal Symphony returned to service in September 2023 after a refit in Trieste. The ship has nine dining venues, including Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea, as well as the Aurora Spa, a fitness centre, padel tennis, pickleball and golf driving nets. Fares include a selection of drinks, 24-hour in-suite dining, wifi and gratuities. The port listing expects about 922 passengers, mainly American, which is more than Crystal's figure of 606 guests.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
Yes, from Lisbon. The call on Wednesday 14 April 2027 is the first port on a 14-night Lisbon to Civitavecchia (Rome) voyage that leaves Lisbon on Monday 12 April 2027 and arrives on Monday 26 April 2027. The same sailing is sold as a seven-night Lisbon to Barcelona voyage ending on Monday 19 April 2027. After Gibraltar it calls at Motril, Alicante, Valencia and Mahon before Barcelona, then continues to Saint-Tropez, Monte Carlo, Ajaccio, Portofino and Livorno. Crystal sells its voyages in US dollars.
