Crystal Cruises Announces 2023-24 Voyages for Luxury Yacht Crystal Endeavor

Crystal Expedition Cruises has announced its 2023 voyages, as well as two early January 2024 itineraries for its luxury expedition yacht Crystal Endeavor.

The first ever “Made in Germany” Polar Class Six, all-suite, all-veranda ship will feature 27 worldwide itineraries ranging from 10 to 28 nights, and have three types of voyages available:

  • Remote Expeditions feature Zodiac landings, wildlife observations, invigorating hikes, and other pursuits;
  • Destination Explorations focus on a region’s natural wonders; and
  • Cultural Discovery voyages explore the traditions, history and people of the lands visited.

Each voyage is led by a team with destination expertise – from marine biologists and ornithologists to archaeologists and historians. Complimentary expedition gear is also provided for excursions.

“Our remote expeditions offer guests access to lands few people have ever laid eyes on, let alone set foot upon, and several you would be hard-pressed to find on a map,” said Jack Anderson, president of Crystal. “A number of places we visit are uninhabited by people but are incredibly alive with wildlife, and our immersive expeditions allow guests an up-close and intimate level of discovery, along with unparalleled comfort and luxury in the world’s remote locations.”

Reservations for Crystal Endeavor’s 2023-2024 voyages open on 24JUN 2021.
