Crystal Endeavor has rolled out of MV Werften in Stralsund, Germany, touching water for the first time in the most recent milestone for the polar class expedition vessel.

Footage from the shipyard gives viewers a close-up look of the roll-out process and aerial views of the ship, including its expansive deck space and helicopter pads.

The latest addition to the Crystal fleet, the German-built Crystal Endeavor will embark on her maiden journey from Tokyo on August 10th.

“Each milestone marked in the journey to introducing Crystal Endeavor to the world becomes more thrilling, as we know that the most adventurous luxury travellers are eagerly awaiting the unforgettable experiences that lie ahead, just as we are,” said Crystal president, Tom Wolber.

“The team at MV Werften has beautifully brought our vision into reality and it is a wonderful moment to see this ground-breaking ship on the water.”

The 20,000-GRT PC-6 expedition ship will accommodate just 200 guests with elegantly casual, generous public spaces designed to showcase the outside scenery.

Crystal Endeavor’s worldwide itineraries through early 2023 are now available for booking, comprising three dedicated categories of exploration.
