Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Serenity has successfully completed its 32-day journey through the treacherous Northwest Passage, a route inaccessible 100 years ago.
For 32 days the 1000 passengers and 600 crew aboard the Crystal Serenity witnessed sights few others have seen over the 7000 natural miles of remote Arctic waterways and as the ship arrived in New York the voyage was hailed as a success.
“The voyage was very successful, and there were no surprises. There was actually less ice than we anticipated… I never felt the enthusiasm wane. Everything clicked. I never experienced an atmosphere like this before in my 38 years at sea,” Captain Birger J. Vorland stated.
Crystal Serenity is set to sail the Northwest Passage again in the northern summer of 2017, and other lines have signalled their intent to try their hand at this itinerary.
