This ship no longer carries this name

Crystal Endeavor no longer sails under this name. She is called Silver Endeavour today, and this page sells no departure. It exists because the old name still circulates, and because a reader looking for it deserves an answer rather than a dead page.

What she was

She was delivered by MV Werften, at Stralsund, in June 2021, with a PC6 polar-class hull. She finished her last Antarctic cruise at Ushuaia in February 2022, then was laid up at Montevideo. Nine months of service under this name, and that is all.

Where she is today

Silversea, part of the Royal Caribbean group, bought her on 18 July 2022 for 275 million US dollars, with court approval. That is the highest price in the whole liquidation. She was christened Silver Endeavour on 19 November 2022 in Antarctica and has sailed since the 28th of that month. You can still board her: her page is here, Silver Endeavour.

Why this page still exists

Why keep this page rather than delete it? Because deleting it would leave the reader with a 404 and an unanswered question. The line was arrested on 4 February 2022 at Freeport, in the Bahamas, over 4.6 million US dollars of unpaid fuel, then sold at auction. Nine ships carried this name; two still do and a tenth is being built. Crystal Serenity is still here. Crystal Symphony is still here. The line's own page tells the whole of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Crystal name is no longer hers, and this page sells no departure. We keep it to say what happened rather than leave the reader with a 404.
Silver Endeavour. She was renamed on 19 November 2022 in Antarctica and has sailed since the 28th of that month, with Silversea.
No, not under this name nor with this line. Her new owner is in our catalogue and her page is up to date.
No. Zero departures measured on this page, and that zero is accurate. If you want the same thing elsewhere, look at Silver Endeavour.
Because the name still circulates and a reader looking for it deserves an answer. Deleting it would only replace stale information with a dead page. We prefer to tell the truth and point somewhere useful.
On 4 February 2022, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony were arrested at Freeport, in the Bahamas, over roughly 4.6 million US dollars of unpaid fuel. The line had suspended operations days earlier. On 11 February it filed an assignment for the benefit of creditors in Florida; on the 14th its 238 shoreside staff in Miami lost their jobs. A&K Travel Group took the brand and the two ocean ships at judicial auction in June 2022.
Silversea, part of the Royal Caribbean group, on 18 July 2022, for 275 million US dollars and with court approval. That is the highest figure in the whole liquidation.
Nine. Two still do, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, and a tenth is being built at Fincantieri for 2028. The other seven changed owners between September 2021 and January 2023.
Yes, two: Crystal Serenity, back on 31 July 2023 out of Marseille, and Crystal Symphony, back on 1 September 2023 out of Athens. Both were rebuilt by Fincantieri at Trieste.
An ocean ship. She sailed the open sea under the Crystal flag.
MV Werften, at Stralsund in Germany, delivered in June 2021.
The figure varied with the polar configuration; we do not give it from memory.
Silver Endeavour. It is not the same ship and we will not pretend otherwise: it is the closest match our catalogue offers today for the same kind of voyage.
It did. It described a departed ship in the present tense, without saying where or why. That is fixed, and so are the six other pages in the same state. If you still see an error, report it: we measure before we correct.
