MV Werften, the German shipbuilding unit in the Genting Hong Kong group, said that additional Endeavor Class expedition yachts would be built to Crystal Cruises, the Los Angeles based luxury market cruise operator also owned by Genting Hong Kong, after the three ships now on order would be delivered.
“Three Endeavor Class 20,000 gross tons exploration yachts for Crystal Yacht Cruises to be delivered in 2019, 2020 and 2021,” MV Werften said in a statement, adding: “ Production at MV Werften will be stepped up after 2021 to produce two Global Class and two Endeavor Class ships a year.”
The Global Class vessels are of 201,000 gross tons and they are to be operated by Star cruises, the Asia-Pacific focused contemporary market brand of Genting Hong Kong.
However, MV Werften does not mention anything about the up to three 117,000 gross ton Exclusive Class ships Crystal Cruises has said it would build at the yard, with the first ship intended for delivery in 2022.
