The Crystal Symphony in Øresund just before sunset





This is Crystal Cruises´ stylish cruise liner Crystal Symphony on its way northwards in Øresund tonight at about twenty to eight, just after having passed Helsingborg/Helsingør. The ship´s destination is Dover.







After a major refit program the Crystal Symphony should look very nice also inside:


LOS ANGELESJune 18, 2012
 Completing a two-week extreme makeover, ultra-luxe Crystal Cruises reveals chicly redesigned major public spaces aboard Crystal Symphony, including the Avenue Saloon, Palm Court lounge, Galaxy showroom, Hollywood Theatre, Bridge Lounge, Fantasia and Waves "junior cruisers" areas, and the Tender Landing/passenger boarding area.  This latest triumph marks the culmination of a $65 million, five-year plan to redesign every room aboard the award-winning ship.  Other invigorating new touches include "bells and whistles" added to all staterooms, paddle tennis court resurfacing, sprucing of tender shuttles, more energy-efficient hull paint, galley updates, and general maintenance and detailing of the entire ship, from propellers and boilers to the bridge and lifeboats.
