New Crystal ship to sail up Thames in September

New Crystal Expedition Cruises ship Crystal Endeavor is to call into London as part of a new sailing in September.

Two new cruises have been added to the ship’s summer schedule from Iceland.

The first is a ten-night itinerary around Iceland on September 5 and a 13-night cruise from Reykjavík to Edinburgh (Leith) and Greenwich in London.

The voyages replace previously scheduled itineraries that included calls in Norway, which has now imposed new travel restrictions, according to the luxury line. 

The 200-passenger Crystal Endeavor, the ninth ship in Crystal’s global fleet, has been cruising Iceland since its debut on July 17.

Company president Jack Anderson said: “Iceland has proven to be an exceptional destination for the launch of Crystal Endeavor’s expedition experiences with abundant opportunities for sea kayaking, Zodiac cruising, waterfall and volcano viewing and nature hikes including across the Arctic Circle.

“The feedback we are receiving from guests is that they’ve been thrilled with Iceland as a destination and the unique up-close adventures we are able to launch directly from the ship as well as the extraordinary wildlife encounters.

“Additionally, Reykjavík offers travellers convenient air options, just six hours from New York City and three hours from London, with frequent non-stop flights from many major cities in the US and Europe.”
