Luxury cruise specialist Crystal Cruises is spending $23 million renovating the Crystal Symphony.

From October 31 through November 12, the ship will undergo a major improvement, including the transformation of all staterooms; the refurbishment of much of Tiffany Deck, and the ship’s main entertainment area.

When completed, it will have a completely reconstructed social lounge, a new casino and new nightclub

Philip Ordever, Crystal’s vice president sales and marketing for Europe, said: “Over the last two to three years, we will have invested in excess of $35 million in new construction projects that will ultimately transform the look of Crystal Symphony while still appealing to our loyal client base.”
