Luxury liners have been arrested in the Bahamas!07.02.2022 12:51
Unfortunately, we receive not only positive news from the world of cruises, but also negative ones.
The pandemic has brought many changes to our daily lives. Travel has undergone the most changes and restrictions, which has affected the closure of: hotels, airlines and even cruise lines.
One such cruise company is Crystal Cruises.
Crystal Cruises is a luxury company that traveled on unique routes with calls to the rarest ports, allowing passengers to immerse themselves in the authenticity of each region. Moreover, on the liners of the company they provided the highest level of luxury service!
The cruise company owned four cruise ships:
Crystal Endeavor – Built 2020
Crystal Serenity - Built in 2003, renovated in 2018
Crystal Symphony - Built in 1995, renovated in 2017
Crystal Esprit Built in 1991, renovated in 2015
Genting Hong Kong, which includes Crystal Cruises, has long been in financial trouble caused by the pandemic. In this regard, the company from Hong Kong filed for bankruptcy in January.
Since then, Peninsula Petroleum Far East Pte. Ltd., which provided fuel for Crystal Cruises, filed a lawsuit in a Miami court. The reason was unpaid fuel bills from 2021. The total claims are $1.2 million against Crystal Symphony, $2.1 million against Crystal Cruises.
U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gales issued an arrest warrant for Crystal Symphony.
As a result, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony were arrested at the port of Fleaport in the Bahamas.
Thus, Crystal Cruises has become another victim of the pandemic, along with other companies.

We can definitely say that the cruise market is going through a stage of great rebirth with a change in market players and cruise routes!
