Crystal Ravel was originally designed to sail on the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers from Bordeaux from August 2017. However, based on overwhelmingly positive guest feedback regarding Central Europe itineraries in Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Amsterdam, Crystal Cruises have elected to delay their entry into the French river cruise market, choosing instead to prioritise their offerings in the German/Austrian region in order to meet high traveller demand for those destination experiences.
Therefore, to best serve their valued guests and accommodate new itineraries on the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, Crystal Cruises are modifying and enlarging this luxury river yacht.
