History
AI-generated

Crystal Symphony is a cruise ship built at Kværner Masa-Yards in Finland that entered service as the oldest vessel in the Crystal Cruises fleet. The ship underwent multiple major refits throughout its operational history, including a significant 2006 renovation costing US$23 million that was the largest refit ever undertaken by Crystal Cruises. Following its parent company's bankruptcy and the ship's arrest in Bahamian waters due to outstanding fuel bills, Crystal Symphony was purchased by A&K Travel Group for US$25 million and transferred to new ownership and management.
