Crystal Symphony re-appears with enhanced facilities from Boston refit

Crystal Cruises’ 1995-built, 960 passenger capacity Crystal Symphony has re-appeared from her US $25m refit at US repairer Atlantic Marine’s Boston facility boasting a number of enhanced passenger facilities.

The vessel now offers completely transformed Crystal Penthouses, Lido Café and pool areas, redesigned Penthouses and Prego Italian Restaurant, among numerous other improvements.

The 982sq ft Crystal Penthouses have been remodelled top to bottom, with expanded living space, new audiovisual systems and floor-to-ceiling dining room windows.  Ocean-view bathrooms offer large Philippe Starck bathtubs, glass mosaic tiles and recessed TVs.  The ship’s Penthouses have also been redesigned in two new colour schemes, with new custom cabinetry, plush bedding, flat-screen TVs and lavish bathroom accoutrements.

The Lido Café has gained a refined motif with abundant natural light and colours and details inspired by the Hampton seashore. New food and drink service islands improve passenger flow.

The Seahorse and Neptune Pool Decks now feature sport white deck furniture and cushions and throw pillows for added alfresco dining and conversational seating. With its retractable roof and new teak decking, the mid-ship Neptune Pool was replaced with additional plush seating and a large Jacuzzi hot tub.

Prego, the Italian restaurant showcasing cuisine by Piero Selvaggio, gained chocolate suede walls and red-wine coloured upholstery, as well as new lighting.

All cabins were refurbished with leather sofas replacing armchairs.
