GET READY FOR AN EXPEDITION

-

Crystal Expedition Cruises has appointed seasoned explorer David Sinclair as expedition leader for its upcoming ship Crystal Endeavor, launching in August 2020. Sinclair has spent over two decades traversing all seven continents, and has particular expertise in the polar regions. “David has climbed the highest peaks north of the Arctic Circle, skied across Greenland and become an avid naturalist and nature photograph­er during his career,” said Tom Wolber, Crystal Cruises’ president and CEO. “The adventures that guests will have with Crystal Endeavor will be simply breathtaki­ng, with many sites and experience­s that top travellers’ bucket lists, as well as unexpected thrills.” As Crystal Expedition Cruises prepares for the ship’s maiden voyage in August 2020, Sinclair and his team are conducting site inspection­s in some of the global destinatio­ns featured on Crystal Endeavor’s itinerarie­s. The ship will sail to the farthest reaches of the world, from the Arctic via the fabled Northeast Passage to the Ross Sea in Antarctica, and to many other regions few travellers explore. The Crystal Endeavor will accommodat­e just 200 guests with all-suite, butler-serviced rooms; Michelin-inspired dining options, including Master Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s Umi Uma & Sushi Bar; the Crystal Life Salon & Spa; and state-of-the-art Fitness Center. Expedition-specific amenities will enhance guests’ experience, including designated ‘mud rooms’ and a helicopter lounge. crystalcru­ises.com
