The refurbished Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony will set sail
later this year with the Umi Uma restaurant and sushi bar onboard.
Crystal, the reincarnated Crystal Cruises, will retain the Japanese
restaurant by Michelin star chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matsuhisa. The
specialty dining venue will serve entrees including Nobu-style black
cod, grilled Chilean sea bass, Wagyu beef filet steak and sushi.
Bernie
Leypold, senior vice president of hotel operations for both the former
and new line, said, "It wouldn't be Crystal without having one of the
most popular restaurants, Umi Uma, back on board when the new Crystal
sets sail."
Reservations are required to dine at Umi Uma. Guests will have one
complimentary reservation per person for sailings of 11 days or fewer.
Longer sailings will include two complimentary reservations. Additional
reservations can be confirmed for a US$50 charge.
The Crystal Serenity will make its inaugural sailing for the new
Crystal on 31 July from Marseille, France. The Crystal Symphony will
follow with a 1 September debut from Athens.
Update: Additional reservations at Umi Uma can be confirmed for a US$50 charge.
