Two of the three deep sea cruise ships of Crystal Cruises that collapsed together with its parent company Genting Hong Kong in the winter, have been sold for $128 million in total, reports say.
The 51,044 gross ton Crystal Symphony that was built in Finland in 1995 fetched $25 million, which was $5 million more than its appraised value. Crystal Serenity that was built in France in 2003 and which is of 68,870 gross tons, was sold for $103 million, significantly more than its appraised value of $37.5 million, Maritime Executive reports.
The buyers were one- ship companies that do not disclose the interest behind them
The expedition cruise ship Crystal Endeavor that was completed last year by MV Werften, also part of the Genting Hong Kong group, was not part of the sale. The 20,449 gross ton vessel has been in Gibraltar, pending sale.
Royal Caribbean Group’s Silversea Cruises luxury segment unit has widely been reported as buyer of the one year old vessel.
