Detailed answer
Crystal was founded in 1988 by the Japanese shipping company NYK, and was sold to Genting Hong Kong in 2015. It suspended operations in January 2022 after Genting Hong Kong became insolvent, and in June 2022 A&K Travel Group, owned by Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio and Geoffrey Kent, bought the brand and two ships, Crystal Symphony, built in 1995, and Crystal Serenity, built in 2003. Service resumed in 2023, and the line is based at Hallandale Beach in Florida. Crystal gives Crystal Symphony 606 guests with butler service in every room. Fares include a selection of drinks, wifi and gratuities. New ships have been ordered from Fincantieri for delivery from 2028.
Which of its ships call at Gibraltar?
In the Port of Gibraltar schedule checked on Sunday 25 October 2026, one Crystal ship is due. Crystal Symphony calls on Wednesday 14 April 2027, 08:00 to 17:00, with about 922 passengers, mainly American. This is a nine-hour call. The list on this page updates as the schedule changes.
What should Crystal passengers know about Gibraltar?
English is Gibraltar's official language and the currency is the pound sterling; euros are widely accepted in shops, often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain (Central European Time). A nine-hour call leaves time for the Upper Rock and for Main Street. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild and is expected to reopen in 2027, so the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
Can you sail with Crystal from near Gibraltar?
