You may already be familiar with the amazing luxury cruise experiences provided by the ocean-going Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, but a new adventure experience is ready to sail with the Crystal Endeavor. The new luxury expedition yacht launches in 2020 and was built to PC6 polar class specification with a strengthened hull that will allow her to ply the most remote waters of the planet, including those of the Arctic and Antarctica. The ship features anchor-free dynamic positioning technology that enables her to linger on the surface above underwater sites without causing damage to anything below her hull.
