Crystal Endeavor accidents and incidents

On April 9, 2020, Crystal Yacht Cruises announced that the new ship's delivery will be delayed due to the temporary shutdown of the shipbuilding yard Lloyd Werft in Germany (MV Werften Stralsund). The closure was due to the global Coronavirus pandemic and halted shipyard's operations.

As result, all planned for Crystal Endeavor cruises in 2020 (August 10 through October 31) were cancelled. The Inaugural Cruise (Aug 10-26, 16-day itinerary "Russian Far East Maiden Expedition Cruise", roundtrip from Yokohama Japan) was rescheduled for November 14 (14-day itinerary "Tasmania and Fjords of New Zealand", Nov 14-28, from Sydney NSW to Lyttelton-Christchurch NZ).
