Crystal Cruises Is ‘Full Steam Ahead’ on Both Ocean and River Products
byDaniel McCarthy/
In his first Seatrade press conference as the president and CEO of Crystal Cruises, Tom Wobler reaffirmed Crystal’s place in the industry amid a time of company change.
“我的首要任务是Crystal仍然是激光的重点是我们最擅长的事情,超出了每次客人的期望。关怀的服务,慷慨的空间,质量几代出生在海船上,它们仍然是我们最擅长的事情的核心。”他告诉记者。
Crystal is currently revving up for big years ahead with the launch of Endeavor in 2020, Crystal Symphony and Serenity redesigns finishing this year, and continued evolution of its river cruise product, first launched with Crystal Mozart in 2016.
努力
Crystal Endeavor, currently in production, is further proof that “expedition cruising has really been a boom for the industry,” Wobler said. The ship had its steel cut in Germany earlier this year and will come into service in 2020 as the “largest and most spacious purpose-built Polar Class ship.”
According to Wobler, Endeavor will feature six restaurants—Waterside, which will offer a menu of classic dishes with a modern twist; Prego, an Italian class restaurant home to the Vintage room; Nobu’s Umi Uma; Silk Kitchen and Bar (depending on itineraries), offering Chinese comfort food; Bistro Café; and the Bistro Buffet.
努力的小酒馆自助餐
Crystal will also bring a number of public areas over from its ocean product including Palm Court, Connoisseur Club, Crystal Cove, Crystal Cove, Crystal Cove Bar, Crystal Promenade, and the Crystal Life Spa and Salon that features a sauna, relaxation room, and fitness area.
Other features include one submarine and two helicopters for off board exploration, a mud room, a two-story solarium pool deck with a glass roof that will offer almost 360-degree views “that are going to absolutely wow people,” Wobler said.
More details, including itineraries, will be announced soon.
该品牌目前的豪华游艇Crystal Espirit将很快结束。根据Wobler的说法,这艘船比其河船吸引了年轻,更多的冒险旅行者。
沃布勒说:“我认为这是高端野生动物园的水域经验 - 令人兴奋的户外活动,令人兴奋的行程。”
Symphony and Serenity refits
After Symphony entered its redesign phase in October 2017, its sister ship, Serenity, will get the same refit, “as significant as the one Symphony just went through,” Wobler said, re-debuting in November 2018.
Serenity的餐厅将获得现在在交响曲提供的开放式概念。沃布勒说,这个概念“允许客人在他们想要的时候用餐,想要的地方,他们想要的人。”该船还将获得36个新的顶层公寓和两个新的阁楼套房。
这些变化“将使980位客人的容量降低,同时保持船上的数量相同,这将增强客人体验并增强公共空间和用餐区的气氛,” Wobler说。
Serenity's Waterside Reception
还将提供一个新的制作节目Crystal In Motion,以及一些新的技术创新,包括所有房间和公共场所中的交互式平板电视。这些电视将获得Crystal Connect,这是允许客人自定义航行的巡航门户。
Wobler首次推出了Crystal的新型海洋邮轮类-Crystal Diamond类的名称。Diamond课程将设有60,000吨的船只,最大容量为800位客人。
“That size is the absolute right size for the level of service and personal detail that is really core to the Crystal brand,” he said.
正如先前宣布的那样,钻石班的计划不再包括居民的空间。
River cruises
After some initial delays, Crystal’s river product is “full steam ahead.” This year, Crystal will sail more overnights and extended stays than ever before.
Wobler说,河流产品的平均年龄低于海洋。
“That really reaffirms the objective behind Crystal’s expansion,” he said. “Providing new experiences for our most passionate fans who are looking for new ways to explore the world, bringing new guests into Crystal that we hope will move up to the ocean ships.”
它的所有2018年路线都在填充,但仍然可以使用空间。
