Crystal Cruises’ ship Crystal Symphony will re-deployed to sail from Boston and New York to Bermuda this summer.
The new cruises will replace Crystal Symphony’s previously scheduled ten-night voyages from Antigua and St Maarten.
The seven-night itineraries will include two days and two nights in Bermuda.
The first four voyages will depart round-trip from Boston from August 22, followed by nine sailings from New York starting on September 24.
Crystal Symphony will sail with reduced capacity with vaccinated passengers and crew. They will follow all local health guidelines and protocols when visiting Bermuda. Fares start at $1,999 per person.
The luxury line’s president Jack Anderson said: “As the entire travel industry emerges from the restrictions of the global pandemic, flexibility has been key in re-establishing meaningful experiences for travellers.
“For cruising, in particular, the recent positive developments of ships sailing from US ports have prompted US travellers to show an increased preference for more direct access to luxury cruise options closer to home.
“The Luxury Bermuda Escapes out of Boston and New York are a perfect fit, allowing us to welcome guests back on board.”
The line had to cancel Crystal Symphony’s Caribbean voyages this year due to the redeployment.
Anderson said: “We would like to thank our friends in Antigua, St. Maarten and the Caribbean for their partnership as well as their understanding as we make this change.
“We look forward to calling on these wonderful destinations, as we always have, in future deployments.”
