Crystal River Cruises took delivery of river cruise ship Crystal Mahler on Wednesday, September 20, 20017. The handover ceremony was held at MV Werften Shipyard in Wismar, Germany.
The 2nd Rhine Class river vessel was received by the newly appointed president & CEO of the line, Tom Wolber, and was christened by godmother Lauren Barfield - an American volleyball star currently playing for German champions SSC Palmberg Schwerin (sponsored by MV Werften).
Crystal Mahler joins Crystal Mozart and sister ship Crystal Bach (delivered a few weeks ago). Sailing 7-, 11- and 16-day voyages along Rhine and Danube, Mahler will visit medieval towns and modern ports in Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Slovakia.
Two additional Rhine Class vessels, Crystal Ravel and Crystal Debussy, will join the fleet next year.
