Port Swamp rolled out the red floor Saturday, Nov. 9, as Crystal Peace made its official debut in Fort Lauderdale. A meeting held in the boat’s Palm Court included the presence of city and tourism officers, Crystal professionals, and Serenity senior staff.

The ship did cruise to the Caribbean in December before setting off on her first earth tour in January, making a return trip to Fort Lauderdale in November 2025.

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale

Pam and I, who cruised on Peace nearly a year ago, both benefited from the occasion’s reunion. As we toured the fleet, work was under means for some new changes. The game is up in need once more. The single Casino de Monte-Carlo at sea is being offered by Crystal Palace and Casino de Monte-Carlo.

Beefbar will also be the novel cafe that customers can look forward to. Since its 2005 album in Monte-Carlo, it has areas globe, including New York. Peace and its sister ship, Symphony, will number the single Beefbar at sea. The only China at sea is now aboard both ships.

Jacqueline Barney, Crystal’s senior vice president, international marketing, talked about the new designed land activities coming, drawing on the expertise of their family business, A&amp, K Travel Group.

Crystal announced earlier this month that they had placed an order with Roman builder Fincantieri for a third oceanship in addition to the two ones that were already in the works. The new boats will number 690 people and weigh in at 61, 800 total tons.

A boulevard that runs through the entire ship’s boundary, similar to those enjoyed by guests on Crystal Symphony and Crystal Peace, will be a striking feature for quiet strolls with stunning sea views, according to the press release. In 2022, A&amp and K Travel Group made the acquisition of Crystal, which marked a new chapter for the boat range.
