It's Dover's sixth inaugural call of 2024. 

The ship’s first turnaround in the Garden of England began with a 38-night Baltic and Northern Europe cruise to Sweden.

The vessel will return to Dover in September for two more cruises, including a special D-Day voyage on the 18th, and an 11-night European and Mediterranean sailing on the 26th.

Significant opportunity 

‘The UK Market represents a significant pillar of opportunity and growth for Crystal..,’ said Matias Lira, SVP trade sales – LATAM, UK & EMEA, Crystal Cruises. 

Sonia Limbrick, the port’s head of business development for cruise, added, ‘It was a pleasure to welcome the wonderful Crystal Symphony here on this beautiful, crystal-clear day. Thank you to the team for choosing Dover to kick-start more incredible cruises through the rest of the season.’

She added, ‘Our excellent team, award-winning customer service and world-class views and heritage continue to bring a diverse range of cruise lines and guests to Kent every year. We are excited for what the future will hold.’
