Crystal Cruises announced that its Crystal Symphony ship would re-deploy to sail from U.S. homeports in New York and Boston MA for her new "Luxury Bermuda Escapes", a series of 7-night voyages to Bermuda (Kings Wharf/Royal Naval Dockyard) beginning in August 2021.
The first 4 cruises are scheduled to depart round-trip from Flynn Cruiseport Boston starting on August 22, 2021, with Sunday-to-Sunday itineraries, followed by 9 sailings set to depart round-trip from Manhattan Cruise Terminal (New York) beginning on September 24, 2021, with Friday-to-Friday itineraries.
When Crystal Symphony departs in August with reduced capacity, all passengers and crew members will be vaccinated as a requirement of the line’s Crystal Clean+ protocols, a set of measures in response to COVID-19. Additionally, Crystal Cruises' guests and crew will have to follow local health guidelines and protocols in Bermuda.
The Luxury Bermuda Escapes aboard Crystal Symphony will feature 2 full days and 2 nights in Bermuda with the chance for vacationers to enjoy the amenities and service of luxury cruising close to home.
The new voyages replace the canceled 10-night roundtrips with homeporting in Antigua (St Johns) and St Maarten (Philipsburg).
