Crystal Cruises is to return to Port Everglades in Florida in October 2017, following a 11-year break from the US port.
Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony will sail a total of eight sailings to and from Port Everglades beginning 27 October 2017.
“Fort Lauderdale is an ideal fit for our ships, itineraries and discerning guests, with its close proximity to an international airport and reputation for outstanding service that mirrors Crystal's own,” said Edie Rodriguez, Crystal president and CEO. “With these things in mind, we are relocating select fall sailings and look forward to working with Port Everglades to expand our itineraries in this market.”
Located in the second largest county in Florida, Broward County's Port Everglades is consistently ranked as one of the three busiest cruise ports in the world and handled more than 3.7 million passengers in 2015. Crystal Cruises last sailed from Port Everglades in 2006.
“We are already working with Crystal Cruises’ outstanding team to ensure every sailing from Port Everglades is exceptional,” said Steven Cernak, chief executive and port director of Port Everglades.
