In brief

What Crystal Cruises is

Full article ↗

Crystal Cruises is an American cruise line owned by A&K Travel Group.
It was founded in 1988 by Japanese shipping company Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and sold to Hong Kong-headquartered conglomerate Genting Hong Kong in 2015. Following insolvency in 2022, the Crystal Cruises brand and two cruise ships were bought by A&K Travel Group, to recommence operations in 2023, with headquarters in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The new company has announced major refurbishments and enhancements for the two ships in a Fincantieri shipyard in Trieste, Italy, including increasing the number of butler suites and reducing guest capacity, and resumed service in July 2023 with shore excursions organized by Abercrombie & Kent.

In context

How Crystal Cruises compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

With 3 vessels attributed to it here, Crystal Cruises is the 262nd largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

United States is the country of registration for 144 commercial operators in this directory, among which Crystal Cruises ranks 25th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 435 vessels here. 1 of them carry a published container-capacity ranking. See every operator registered in United States.

Founded in 1988, Crystal Cruises is 38 years old. This directory holds 107 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 1 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
