Concept and Construction

Crystal Symphony was built in 1992 at Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Turku, Finland. She was ordered in December 1992 and entered service in May 1995.[1]

The ship was refitted a second time in 2006.[2] This process, which cost USD 23 Million, was the largest refit ever for Crystal Cruises.[2] During this refit, Crystal employed over 750 external workers to join the existing 545 crew to ensure a timely completion.[2] The refit was done in BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair in Norfolk, Virginia. [2]

In 2009 Crystal Symphony underwent a third refit costing USD 25 Million.[3]

Operational history

In 2010 she cruised the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean, British Isles and Baltic before a a 15-day cruise in the Arctic Circle.[4] The winter 2010 season, saw visits to New York City and the Panama Canal.[4]
