Crystal’s first expedition yacht unveils its inaugural itineraries

Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruising has unveiled the inaugural season of itineraries for the world largest, most spacious luxury expedition vessel, Crystal Endeavor! 

During the launch in Sydney last night, Crystal also announced a multi-year partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer to offer members the opportunity to earn points on all 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Crystal Experiences – by ocean, river, and yacht expedition.

Crystal will offer up to three Qantas Points per US$1 on all Crystal Experiences including Crystal Cruises, Crystal River Cruises and Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises itineraries.

The new itineraries for Crystal Endeavor span from August 2020 to January 2021 which means you can earn frequent flyer points while exploring some of the world’s most far-reaching places.

The luxury expedition yacht will sail voyages of 12 to 22 days, far off the beaten path of traditional cruise routes and will explore the cultural and bio-diversity of Japan and the Russian Far East, New Zealand, Australia and Antarctica, with tropical wildlands also featured.

“With Crystal Endeavor, we can now offer discerning travellers a truly luxurious expedition experience – the Crystal Experience, which, coupled with the ship’s innovative design and captivating itineraries, will be a highly sought-after travel choice,” said Crystal’s Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, Karen Christensen.

“The inaugural season is one that combines active discovery and cultural immersion, and I fully expect that the luxury traveller, in our Australasian market especially, will be as thrilled with the inaugural destinations as I am.”

In addition to Antarctic exploration, Crystal Endeavor will follow seasonal shifts to warmer destinations, where sun-seeking guests can relish waterborne and nature quests.
