[edit] Concept and Construction
Crystal Symphony was built in 1992 at Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Turku, Finland. She was ordered in December 1992 and entered service in May 1995.[1]
The ship was refitted a second time in 2006.[2] This process, which cost USD 23 Million, was the largest refit ever for Crystal Cruises.[2] During this refit, Crystal employed over 750 external workers to join the existing 545 crew to ensure a timely completion.[2] The refit was done in BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair in Norfolk, Virginia. [2]
In 2009 Crystal Symphony underwent a third refit costing USD 25 Million.[3]
