Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises has unveiled the latest design details for its upcoming expedition yacht, Crystal Endeavor.
Weighing 19,800gt, Crystal Endeavor will be the largest purpose-built polar class expedition yacht and will have capacity for 200 passengers. The vessel will feature a full-service spa and salon, six restaurants including Nobu Matsuhisa’s Umi Uma and expedition rooms.
Crystal Endeavor will also have 100 suites, including two Crystal Penthouse Suites, eight penthouse suites and 90 deluxe suites. In addition to private verandas and butler service, all suites will have king-size beds, walk-in wardrobes, heated storage for drying expedition clothing and spa-like bathrooms with adjustable heated floors, anti-fog mirrors and rain-showerheads.
The design also includes ambient lighting, interactive streaming TVs and bedside iPads in every suite, so guests can access voyage information and international daily newspapers.
The larger of the two Crystal Penthouse Suites will feature a two-bedroom layout, while the other one-bedroom penthouse connects to an adjacent deluxe suite through an adjoining entry. Both offer dining areas and butler’s preparation space for in-suite dining, which will be available from any of Crystal Endeavor’s Michelin-level eateries. The penthouse suites and deluxe suites offer separate sleeping and sitting areas, private verandas and desk vanity areas.
“Crystal Endeavor’s suites are an important part of the overall experience that is rooted in luxury and comfort, even while in the midst of extreme adventure,” said Tom Wolber, president and CEO of Crystal Cruises. “These suites will be private havens of relaxation and personal service welcoming travellers as they embark on journeys to the far corners of the world.”
Crystal Endeavor is set to debut in 2020.
